ESPN “College GameDay” is making a unique stop at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, CA for an ACC matchup between the Miami Hurricanes and the California Golden Bears. This will be the first time that the popular pregame show will be hosted at Cal’s campus. The game is significant for Cal as they look to elevate their standing in the ACC in their first year in the conference.
The Hurricanes, led by quarterback Cam Ward, who is a Heisman Trophy favorite, have a tough task ahead as they face the Golden Bears. Ward has been dominant this season, leading the nation in touchdown passes and passing yards.
Several Miami players have former Pac-12 ties and have faced Cal in previous matchups. The game will also be a special one for Cal quarterback Fernando Mendoza, a Miami native, who has a burrito named after him in Berkeley to raise awareness for multiple sclerosis, a cause close to his heart.
Cal is also expected to have right guard Sioape Vatikani back on the field after a scary injury in the previous game. The “GameDay” visit and the matchup against a top-10 team like Miami is a significant opportunity for the Golden Bears to make a mark on the national stage. Kickoff is set for 9 a.m. ET, and fans can watch the pregame show for free on various streaming platforms.
