Cal #8 in SI’s Spring Top 25

Stewart Mandel from Sports Illustrated recently released his post-spring Top 25 rankings. Cal took the number eight spot on this list:

#8 California Golden Bears

Key returnees: RB Marshawn Lynch, RB Justin Forsett, WR DeSean Jackson, CB Daymeion Hughes

Spring star: LB Worrell Williams. The athletic sophomore was a standout in practices and will likely earn a starting spot.

Lowdown: New offensive coordinator Mike Dunbar installed components of the spread offense, a scary thought considering Cal’s plethora of weapons. The only question is which quarterback, Nate Longshore or Joe Ayoob, will run it. The defense, extremely young last year, should be improved.

Take a look at the whole list here.
