"The Bears make their second trip east in ACC play, having won 28-24 at Boston College on Sept. 27. They are coming off a 21-18 home victory vs. North Carolina, but they are just 2-2 since a 3-0 start. ... A win would put Cal two games over .500 in conference play for the first time since opening 2-0 in the Pac-12 in 2015."
"The Hokies opened the season with three defeats, and coach Brent Fry was fired after a 45-26 loss to Old Dominion. Tech won its first two games under interim coach Philip Montgomery and then lost to Wake Forest and Georgia Tech before a bye last week. ... South Carolina coach Shane Beamer, a Virginia Tech alum whose father Frank Beamer assembled a Hall of Fame coaching career with the Hokies from 1987 to 2015, has been mentioned as a potential hire at Tech."
Cal (5-2, 2-1 ACC) visits Virginia Tech (2-5, 1-2 ACC) Friday at Lane Stadium with kickoff at 4:30 p.m. Pacific and national TV on ESPN. Cal leads the series 1-0 after a 2003 Insight Bowl victory. A win will make Cal bowl eligible for the third straight season. Cal faces injuries to LJ Johnson Jr. and Brandon High Jr., elevating Kendrick Raphael’s workload; Jacob De Jesus ranks second in the ACC with 47 receptions. The Bears haven’t attempted a field goal since Sept. 13. Virginia Tech fired coach Brent Fry and turned to interim Philip Montgomery; Shane Beamer has been mentioned as a potential hire.
