2023 - Cal Football

Found this, and it gives a little insight into their new OC

Their Spring Game will be on the Pac-12 network

Spavital ran Texas State into the ground with his transfer only recruiting.

He's had some good seasons as an OC though. His last time at Cal was under Dykes, so I wonder how much that production had to do with him vs Dykes.

Same question from his time under Sumlin at A&M. Wilcox is a defensive guy, so the offense will be all Spavital. A lot of complaints from my Aggie friends were that his offenses were too horizontal. Way too many bubble screens, quick outs etc. I expect to see a lot of the same concepts we're gonna run

I think a lot of people felt like Spavital was doing what SMU had done to become so successful.  So I don't think we can be too critical of what he did.

The difference was he was ignoring HS players. I believe in one of his classes, he became the first coach not to sign an HS player.
