Quarterback Change
California will start Jackson Brousseau at quarterback against Virginia Tech after Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele remains in concussion protocol. Brousseau, a transfer from Colorado State, threw for 200 yards on 19-of-32 passing with two touchdowns in relief last week. The sophomore Sagapolutele has thrown for 1,180 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions on 65.2 percent passing this season.
Defensive Absence
Safety Kingston Lopa will also sit out after failing to recover from a concussion. Through the first four games Lopa recorded an FBS-leading five interceptions along with a team-high 29 tackles.
Further Adjustments
Pat McCann takes over as the new offensive playcaller after Jordan Somerville had those duties removed. Running back Adam Mohammed has been ruled out for a second straight game after rushing for 336 yards and three touchdowns on 73 carries while adding 17 receptions for 168 yards and one score. With Carter Vargas also unavailable, Ashten Emory and Anthony League will see increased workloads.
