Colorado ranks last nationally in rushing defense, so Jaydn Ott and the Bears may get back on the right track running the ball.
Cal’s players and coaches spoke in respectful tones this week about Colorado, the winless team they’ll travel to play this Saturday.
Mike Sanford was elevated from offensive coordinator to interim head coach, tight ends coach Clay Patterson will make his debut as an FBS-level offensive coordinator, and defensive line coach Gerald Chatman will now run the defense. Cal also had a bye last week following a lackluster performance in a 28-9 loss at Washington State. That was in stark contrast to aThe Bears’ ground game nearly ground to a halt against WSU, netting 32 yards, including quarterback sacks. Freshman Jaydn Ott was held to 69 yards a week after he went for 274 against Arizona.
The Buffaloes have been an easy target for opposing run games so far. They rank 131st and last nationally in run defense, surrendering 294.2 yards per game — nearly 41 yards per game more than any other team in the country.
