Chase Garbers emerges from pack as Cal’s quarterback; now comes Cougars

Cal’s quarterback carousel appears to have stopped spinning.

In Saturday’s 12-10 upset of then-No. 15 Washington, Chase Garbers seemingly cemented himself as the Bears’ guy.“He just keeps getting better and better. The mistakes he made, I doubt those are going to come up again,” Cal head coach Justin Wilcox said. “… Nothing is too big for him.”How much does Cal trust the redshirt freshman?

Nursing a two-point lead in the final five minutes against the heavily favored Huskies, offensive coordinator Beau Baldwin called four consecutive pass plays.

Wisely, Garbers didn’t throw it on all of them. His first read wasn’t open on the first two plays, so he took off running and kept the clock ticking.
