A proven recipe for success in the sport of football at any level goes as follows; wear down opposing defenses with a powerful running game, and shut down opposing offenses with a powerful defense.

Will this be the year that the Cal Bears finally translate this recipe into a win over USC and, more importantly, a Pac-10 title? To go with one of the best running backs in the country, Cal has a defense that is rock solid at all three levels; and no unit is much stronger than the defensive line.

Cal returns all three starters from last year’s defensive line, a unit which helped lead Cal to be the nation’s 23rd best scoring defense (19.9 PPG) and 26th best rushing defense (122.23 YPG), as well as being 19th in the nation with 90 tackles for loss and 13th in the nation with 35 sacks.

No reason the unit won’t be as good as they were last year, and a good chance that they will be even better.
