BearTalk

Obviously, spring football has taken a backseat to the NCAA Tournament in recent days. And there won’t be too much to report until next week because the team is now off until March 30 for spring break. The Bears have practiced four times — just once in pads — so not too much has been determined at this point. Cal will have 11 more practices once things resume.

There will be three more practices open to the media — each of the first three Saturdays in April. The Bears will wear full pads in each of those practices and the final two will be scrimmage-like — meaning they won’t be true scrimmages but rather a series of 11-on-11 situations with a full officiating crew on hand.

I will have a piece on new special teams coach Jeff Genyk here on the blog soon.
