For subscribers: The Star's longtime columnists asks — and answers — the big questions ahead of Saturday afternoon's game.
A: It has been done — once. In 1958, Cal was on a 1-11 slide when against all odds it won six of its last seven games to win the conference. It was the last time the Bears have been to the Rose Bowl, an 0-for-64 year streak that overwhelms Arizona’s 0-for-44 year streak.
Their starting outside linebacker is Odua Isibor of Phoenix St. Mary’s. Starting right tackle Brayden Rohme is from Gilbert Perry High School. Their Nos. 1-2 quarterbacks are Jack Plummer of Gilbert High School and Kai Milner of Gilbert Higley High School and so on all the way down to their starting long-snapper, Slater Zellers, of Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep.
Arizona will face more feared QBs this year against USC, UCLA, Utah, Oregon, Washington and Washington State. Translation: Beating the Golden Bears is one of Arizona’s best opportunities to win a conference game and move toward bowl eligibility. The clear winner? Arizona. Max was perhaps the most important player on the field in 1983 and 1984; his last-second 47-yard field goal beat the favored Sun Devils 17-15 in 1983; and his three long field goals beat Luis’ Sun Devils in a tense 16-10 game at Arizona Stadium a year later.
The Sooners instead hired Miami coach Howard Schnellenberger, who went 6-6 and was fired after one season. Knowlton told SI.com that part of the reason Wilcox stayed in Berkeley was that he felt he had been a big part of Cal’s recent gains as a football program.And it doesn’t appear Wilcox did it for the money. His contract was extended two years through 2027, but Oregon is paying its coach, Dan Lanning, more than Wilcox will make at Cal.
