In head coach Justin Wilcox’s never ending journey to make Cal an above average college offense, he hired Jake Spavital as OC this offseason. Trying to recapture the offensive glory days of Sonny Dykes era Cal, Wilcox brought in the same OC that lead them to 37 points a game in 2016. In his lone season at Cal, and through three games in 2023, he seems like an OC not married to a particular system and will adapt based on the available skill sets of his players. In 2016, as a disciple of the Mike Leach air raid, he focused on getting QB Davis Webb throwing downfield.
