Jack Plummer

With Miss Americana making her way into Travis Kelce’s box at Arrowhead Stadium, I believe it my duty to create “The Swiftie’s Guide to Cal Football” — just in case there are some Swifties on campus willing to ride in my getaway car, all the way to Memorial Stadium.

A new-look Cal team will try to mesh in its season opener.

Each quarterback possesses the ability and talent to play at the highest level and the system is designed for them to best lead the team. It now falls on the shoulders of these contenders to separate themselves from the pack and secure the starting job.

With the closing of the transfer portal Jan. 18, 2023, and national signing day Feb. 1, The Daily Californian’s sports editors are bringing readers a comprehensive update to the ins and outs (quite literally) of Cal’s 2023 football roster.

Jackson’s dual-threat profile will add a novel dimension to the blue and gold offense.

When Cal’s starting quarterback Jack Plummer announced his entrance into the transfer portal, it seemed that it was finally Kai Millner’s time to shine. However, Millner made the decision to shed his blue and gold origins not long after his teammate.

Head coach Justin Wilcox suggested in a press conference that the coaching staff will be looking outside of Cal’s current roster to fill the role.

In their last game of the season, the Bears were looking for redemption and momentum against the No. 18 UCLA Bruins. Instead, they found loss.

Both teams are wearily riding losing streaks in seasons that can be described as nothing more than perfect graveyards of buried hopes. Nevertheless, the blue and gold hold home court advantage this year and in a matchup like this one, that might mean everything.
