The Auburn Tigers (1-0) are set to embark on their first road trip of the season and it will be quite a long one as they are headed all the way to Berkley, California to take on the Cal Golden Bears (1-0).
In his weekly press conference, [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] did not pull any punches about his thoughts on the road trip.
“One of the challenges I have for me is to embrace it because I don’t like it,” he explained. “I don’t like scheduling teams on the West Coast. I would like to play somebody over here on the East Coast, but it was done and me complaining or not embracing it, is not the proper response.”
Cal, just like Auburn, is coming off a big win as they took down North Texas 58-21 and racked up 669 yards of offense. The Golden Bears are led by Justin Wilcox who has amassed a 31-16 record in seven seasons as their head coach. His background is as a defensive coordinator and Auburn’s offense can expect to face a tough defense that is stout against the run.
Here is a look at six Cal players you need to know before the game.
