As much as I like Vince D'Amato - and boy has he been great this season - I think all Cal fans can agree that we would like to see the Bears punch it into the end zone a little more. For all the positives that the offense has provided (I'm going to pretend the Oregon game didn't happen) the one big concern so far is the lack of execution inside their opponents' 20-yard line.
A lot of that lack of execution should be pinpointed from Cal's lack of a true power running game and a lot of it is still the offense simply getting used to limited space and working off each other. Regardless tough, Cal has to get better once the offense gets down in that area - especially given the defense's up-and-down play.
Statistically, the Bears rank 35th in the country in red zone efficiency. That stat doesn't sound too bad, but considering how well the Bears move the ball everywhere else, that number isn't nearly as high as it should be - especially in the touchdown-to-attempt ratio. With the weapons that Cal puts on the field, converting just 9-of-17 red zone tries into touchdowns is very low.
