Write for California: Cal will get off to quick start to season vs. UC Davis
It writes: "This season is going to remind you a lot of 2018. A great defense that will carry the squad and sometimes outright win us games, with an offense that may or may not carry its weight under a questionable offensive system. I think the linebackers are going to be amazing for this team, both on the inside and outside and will be the best position group we have in terms of starters and depth. I think Cal gets off to an ok start, beating UC Davis and UNLV before heading into South Bend for the season's first loss."
NCAA.com: UC Davis could upset Cal in Week 1
Stan Becton writes: "Cal finished 2021 with a 5-7 record. UC Davis finished 2021 in the FCS playoffs. Led by one of FCS football's premier running backs in Ulonzo Gilliam Jr., UC Davis proved it has what it takes to shock the Golden Bears last year when they landed the first FCS-over-FBS upset of the season."
