Football
- Justin Wilcox is in the middle of the Pac as Wilner gives him a C grade for his 2018 coaching performance.
Justin Wilcox gets high marks for Cal’s defense — no unit in the conference, on either side of the ball, was better coached — and low marks for Cal’s offense.

The offensive offense in the Cheez-It Bowl was a fitting end. If Wilcox doesn’t rectify the situation, the Bears’ promising trajectory will flatline.
