Cal made offensive coordinator switch at halftime last week
Pat McCann took over play-calling after Cal had averaged 18.3 points per game against FBS opponents.
- On Saturday, California head coach Tosh Lupoi promoted passing game coordinator Pat McCann to call plays, replacing offensive coordinator Jordan Somerville during the Golden Bears' 39-31 loss to UNLV in Las Vegas.
- Somerville, hired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite lacking coordinator experience, struggled to lead the unit against FBS competition, averaging just 18.3 points per game before the contest.
- The offense scored 24 points in the second half after managing only seven initially, with Lupoi noting, "I just changed it up, I thought it was time," regarding the adjustment.
- Defending the decision on Tuesday, General manager Ron Rivera called the move aggressive, stating "If you continue to do the same thing, isn't that insanity?" regarding the offensive struggles.
- Quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele remains questionable for Saturday's game against Virginia Tech after sustaining a concussion, with Jackson Brousseau prepared to start following a 200-yard, two-touchdown relief performance.
