Noteworthy: If California is to have a successful season, then the offense must improve. Josh Portis has struggled throwing the ball and the Vulcans have not effectively run the ball this season. Portis has completed just 39 of 83 passes (47 percent), thrown three touchdowns and been intercepted four times. Windell Brown returned from an ankle injury but lasted just one play before apparently reinjuring his ankle. Freddie Bacco, who has gained 181 yards on 42 carries this season – will start. … Cal has won 13 straight games against PSAC West opponents. … Cal head coach John Luckhardt is just five victories away from 200 in his career. … Gannon beat Cheyney, 30-19, last week. … The Golden Knights rely on the run and Jon Richardson (63 att., 351 yds., 5.6 ave., 7 TDs) is the main threat.… Cal has not had running back or wide receiver gain more than 100 yards in a game this season.
