College football preview: Cal mum on QB controversy before SMU game, Stanford hosts NC State
Cal head coach Tosh Lupoi wouldn't name his starting QB earlier this week before the Bears' trip to SMU, while Stanford hosts NC State and SJSU heads to Reno to play Nevada.
Cal coach Tosh Lupoi remains tight-lipped about the starting quarterback situation as the Bears (3-4) prepare for their upcoming matchup against No. 23 SMU (5-1). Following a 41-7 loss to Wake Forest, Lupoi opted to bench Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele in favor of Jackson Brousseau, leaving fans and analysts puzzled. Lupoi explained that he is putting the team in the best position to win, but the decision remains unclear.
Meanwhile, SMU will be without safety and second-leading tackler Tyren Polley Jr., who suffered a season-ending injury last week. However, standout safety Ahmaad Moses may be in the lineup, though he is still listed as questionable. Stanford, on the other hand, faces NC State in an attempt to kick off a winning streak. Stanford quarterback Davis Warren will lead the offense, while NC State quarterback Tavita Pritchard will do his best to shake up the Cardinal defense. With both teams facing various challenges, the outcome of these games remains uncertain.
