00:00 Jaden Ott will only be as good as Cal's passing game next fall.
00:05 A lot of teams' defenses were ganging up, putting eight men in the box against Ott last
00:12 year and it made it difficult for him to run in a lot of cases.
00:16 Whenever Cal had a decent passing threat, it changed the defense's strategy so that
00:21 Ott had a little bit more room.
00:24 I suspect the teams will be gearing up to stop Ott next year, so I wouldn't be at all
00:29 surprised if his stats are a lot lower than they were this past season.
00:33 It'll be a lot tougher, to put it that way.
00:36 Teams will try to stop him first and then try to make the Cal quarterback win the game.
00:43 So it'll be tantamount for the Cal offense to create some kind of passing threat.
00:51 I'm guessing that Chandler Rogers will be the Cal starting quarterback next fall, although
00:58 certainly Mendoza did a nice enough job.
01:01 He didn't do well enough last year to suggest that he's going to be a standout quarterback
01:08 in the ACC, but he also has a lot of room for growth.
01:12 So if he improves significantly, he could be a decent to quality ACC quarterback, although
01:19 my guess is that Rogers will ultimately win that job.
