Cal Football's busting out the pads for their third spring practice

The California Golden Bears are ready to finish out their first week of spring practice!

Jared Goff may be our superstar starter, but you should pay attention to the ongoing competition for the back-up, currently between Chase Forrest and Ross Bowers. The key battle for the O-line may be the role of center and our beleaguered secondary must improve, despite several safeties (e.g., Stefan McClure and Griffin Piatt) still recovering from injuries.

Perhaps most notably, today's practice will be the first time the team will don pads this year.
