Watching Davis Webb is always intriguing. The senior Texas Tech transfer can always put up monster yardage, but Cal’s defense has let him down in the past. The only way the Golden Bears can expect to win is if the offense, led by Webb, has a monster game.

It’s been tough to judge just how good this team is this season as they’ve beaten teams like Texas, Utah and Oregon but they’ve also lost to San Diego State, Arizona State and Oregon State. It’s really too bad that the Golden Bears only get one season with this kid because I think he’s one of the more underrated players out there.

Filling the shoes of Jared Goff is a daunting task, but Webb has done an impressive job of that, passing for 2,914 yards and 29 touchdowns with a 62 percent completion rate — all career-highs. The former Red Raiders starter has grown into his role as a pure gunslinger with Cal and he has exceeded expectations.

Webb had his worst game of the season just three weeks ago and he responded by passing for 658 yards, seven touchdowns and just one interception over the past two games. If the Golden Bears won more, he’d be higher on this list.
