Cal (7-5) is hoping for its first eight-win season since 2019. The Bears want to finish strong and not have the let downs in the past two bowl appearances which left them to a 6-7 record with loses to Texas Tech and UNLV in the last two bowls them appeared in.

Sagapolutele threw for 3,1117 yards in his inaugural season with the Bears, putting him third in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 14th in the nation. He also led the ACC and ranked fourth nationally with 288 completions. His regular season ended with a flourish, completing 31-of-40 passes for 330 yards and four touchdowns to lead Cal to a 38-35 upset of SMU Mustangs who were competing to get in the ACC title. California stopped that happening and allowing Duke to sneak in after a win over Wake Forest.
