This is an 8* FAN APPRECIATION BLOWOUT on California.
Setting the scene: Cal finished 8-5 last year and has a big hole to replace in QB Jared Goff, who went to the LA Rams in the NFL draft. Hawaii was just 3-10 and is once again rebuilding, this time bringing in former QB Nick Rolovich as head coach to try and resurrect the program. This is a weird opening game, as it's being played in Australia and while the players on both sides will have to deal with external factors, for us this one boils down to how important of a game this is for the Golden Bears.
Cal: Not only do the Golden Bears have to replace Goff, but they also have to deal with a tough schedule this season, making tonight's game extra important. Cal welcomes in transfer Davis Webb, who started his career at Texas Tech. He'd throw for over 5,550 yards with 46 TD's with the Red Raiders, so the pivot is a proven talent. He'll be leaning heavily on a stable of competent backs and he has plenty of new weapons to throw to after the team replaced six receivers this offseason.
Rainbow Warriors: Ikaika Woolsey has been named the starting QB for Hawaii, he has 37 games to his credit and has completed 49 percent of his passes for 908 yards with five TD's and six picks. Hawaii finished near the bottom of the nation on both sides of the ball last year.
The bottom line: We're expecting a comfortable cover by half time. Cal lost a bunch of talent, but it has the better players on the field today and a lot more to play for. Look for Webb and company to put the foot on the gas until the final horn, play on CALIFORNIA.
