Impact For now, Mendoza will continue to be California's top option at quarterback, which he was by the end of his 2023 season. But as expected, Chandler Rogers' enrollment at Cal will create competition at the QB position.

Impact Mendoza was responsible for four touchdowns in the loss and was one play away from upsetting the Trojans, but the risky decision to go for two put the final mail in the coffin. The Bears leaned on their run game, but Mendoza was efficient in directing the offense and threw for almost 300 yards. He is likely to hold on to the job when Sam Jackson (undisclosed) returns and the freshman has an excellent chance to be the team's quarterback of the future.
