Cal fans were excited for Saturday night’s game against No. 8 Miami and sent the Hurricanes an early message.

This is the first time that College Game Day visited the Cal campus, and this will be the first meeting between the Golden Bears and Hurricanes since 2008. The two teams played each other just four times in the history of their respective programs, both holding two victories each.

Cal is in its first season in the ACC and started the 2024 campaign 3-0 before losing its first conference game to Florida State 14-9 last week.

Although the Hurricanes haven’t visited Berkley since 1990, a few key figures will be familiar with their surroundings during Saturday’s game.

Miami head coach Mario Cristobal previously coached at Oregon and struggled against Cal while competing in the Pac-12. Hurricanes star quarterback Cam Ward threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-39 loss to the Bears while playing for Washington State last season, and leading rusher Damien Martinez passed for 89 yards and a touchdown while playing for Oregon State in a 52–40 victory over Cal.

Miami enters Saturday’s game with a 5-0 record and has been one of the most impressive teams in the country this year, rising from 19th place at the start of the season to 8th place this week. The Hurricanes are hoping to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff, so they’ll look to keep their unbeaten streak going when they take on the Bears on Saturday night.
