The 2020 season will not count for eligibility purposes, but we're still tracking the Cal true freshmen throughout the shortened season. That said, the Bears have used their true freshmen throughout the 2020 season, with Muelu Iosefa getting his second consecutive start and Damien Moore taking the most carries among running backs.

Iosefa also had two big contributions on defense, as the freshman inside linebacker was the first player to the ball on both of Kuony Deng's forced fumbles, wrapping up and allowing Deng to punch the ball out. Moore didn't have some of the same success he had against Stanford, as Cal wasn't opening the same gaps that they did the week before, but the willingness to continue going to him bodes well for him getting reps in the future.
