Cal Poly Football Embarks on New Journey with Coach Wulff
Cal Poly’s football team has kicked off its training camp with high hopes for the upcoming season. After a string of disappointing years, the Mustangs have turned to their new head coach, Paul Wulff, to lead them back to their winning ways and revive the program’s lost glory.
Under the previous coach, Beau Baldwin, Cal Poly endured a three-year period filled with struggles and disappointment. The team suffered six consecutive losing seasons, accumulating a dismal overall record of 13-45 from 2017 to 2022. Determined to change their fate, Cal Poly has entrusted Coach Wulff to bring about a transformation and restore the program’s winning tradition.
The first day of fall camp saw around 120 players taking to the field at the iconic Alex G. Spanos Stadium. For Coach Wulff, it was a day filled with anticipation and excitement, akin to Christmas morning in the football world. With a fresh perspective and new strategies, both the coaches and players were eager to see the changes they could bring to the team.
Transfer quarterback Sam Huard, a highly sought-after five-star recruit from Kennedy Catholic High School in Washington, adds a fresh face to the Mustangs’ roster. Huard, who boasts an impressive high school career with record-breaking passing yards and touchdowns, brings a wealth of talent and potential to the team. Alongside Huard, Cal Poly has welcomed other new recruits and transfers, infusing the team with a renewed sense of determination and hunger for success.
With a blend of returning players, true freshmen, and transfer talent, the Mustangs are ready to prove themselves on the field. Coach Wulff and his coaching staff have high expectations for the team, aiming to establish a solid foundation and showcase a more mature and exciting style of play. While the exact number of wins remains uncertain, Cal Poly believes they have the potential to compete in every game on their schedule.
The 2023 season will kick off on September 2nd, with the Mustangs hosting San Diego in their first game. As the team prepares for the season ahead, fans can look forward to witnessing an impressive display of football skills and relentless determination from Cal Poly. While the road to success may present challenges, the Mustangs are eager to embark on this new era and restore their winning tradition.
