AP: Cal needs more from its running game.
"If the run game is what we need to do to win, then that's what I'm all for," Goff said Tuesday as Cal prepared for its season opener at Northwestern this weekend.
Cal's defense was largely to blame for the team's 1-11 record in coach Sonny Dykes' first season, but the lack of production on the ground was also at fault. The Bears didn't have a single back run for more than 450 yards. As a team, Cal was held to fewer than 90 yards in four of its 12 games and scored just 10 touchdowns on the ground.
With no relief from the running game, Goff ended up breaking school single-season records for passing yardage (3,508), attempts (531) and completions (320).
Northwestern WNUR Sports previews Saturday's season opener against Cal.Prediction:
Last year Northwestern won this game by 14 points, but how different this game would've been had Collin Ellis not intercepted two passes and ran them back for scores. Cal's offense has pretty much everybody back, and Northwestern has a ton of unanswered questions on offense. The Golden Bears' defense will be better, and Northwestern's defense will keep them in the ball game. At the end of the day, the 2013 Northwestern Wildcats got a little lucky in how they defeated Cal. Don't let last years 1-11 record fool you, Sonny Dykes team will score, and unless Jared Goff throws 3 interceptions again this year, Cal will score a lot
California 49, Northwestern 42
