Starting lineups
Based on pregame reps, the fill-ins for Cal’s unavailable players are no surprise. Mark Boskovich will start at left guard, Aaron Tipoti will start at nose tackle and Josh Hill will start at cornerback. As Jeff Tedford said, Sean Cattouse will start in place of Marcus Ezeff at safety.

Hmm
Where is the “Cal will win by 45 points” option?
There are maybe 25,000 in the stands right now.
Hey man
They said attendance would be 43k?

RE: Fans

From what I see of Arizona State, the remind me of UCLA on defense. Good athletes, but overpursue to the ball, which means Jahvid might get some cut back runs.
