Coach Jeff Tedford is happy to be reunited with offensive line coach Jim Michalczik and wide receivers coach Eric Kiesau.
"In meetings, we're so familiar with each other that you don't have to explain every little detail, because they already know all those details," Tedford said. "You don't take anything for granted, but there's just a real comfort level in the experience that we've had working together. There's a lot of clarity on offense. We're really used to each other."
"(Quarterbacks coach) Marcus Arroyo is looking at us like, ‘What are you guys talking about?' In football, as a coach, offense is always evolving. There are new innovations in football. It's a chess match. It's been really good with the whole staff because we have great experience, great knowledge, and we can put it all together."
After the jump, more football news, a wrap-up of the Cal Men's basketball Eurotrip, and Women's Soccer notches a win.
