Mendoza talks up Cal academics, his specialty burrito and competing on and off the field in Berkeley
Quarterback Fernando Mendoza was an enthusiastic ambassador for Cal at the Bears’ inaugural visit to Atlantic Coast Conference football media day at Charlotte, NC, on Tuesday.
“At Cal, you’re going to compete,” said Mendoza, who took over as the Bears starter at midseason last year and emerged from spring as the penciled-in No. 1. “That’s something I think we’re going to excel at and show we can be competitive at the ACC level. There’s no entitlement here at Cal. We have a great locker room culture. We’re always ready to compete.”
Wilcox and Bloesch, who has added the offensive coordinator title to his duties as O-line coach, expect both players to continue battling into fall camp. Asked about approaching Russell White’s 32-year Cal career rushing record, junior Jaydn Ott smiled and told reporters, “I'm going to hit it this year.”
