Rolovich's Return: Cal vs Hawaii Bowl
•
This Christmas Eve, the Cal Bears, led by interim head coach Nick Rolovich, face the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. Rolovich, a former Hawaii quarterback, returns to the Ching Complex, where he made history in 2001. The game holds personal significance, with Hawaiis head coach Timmy Chang and associate head coach Chris Brown, both former teammates, excited to face their former teammate. The bowl game was established due to Hawaiis success in 2001, which lacked a postseason invitation. Rolovich, who previously coached Hawaii, now guides Cal, with freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele impressing with over three thousand passing yards and twenty touchdowns. The game promises a blend of nostalgia and competition, with deep respect and friendship between the coaches.
