Golden Nuggets, 11/12: Will we play?

The California Golden Bears are certainly one of four teams that have yet to play a Pac-12 football game this season. However, they’re truly the only ones right now that are in jeopardy of not playing a game within the first two weeks of the season.

Cal had to cancel their first game of the season against the Washington Huskies due to a COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent contact tracing protocols that left them without the requisite number of scholarship student-athletes to field a team under the Pac-12’s 2020 guidelines.

The Utah Utes had a similar outbreak and had to cancel their game against the Arizona Wildcats, giving the conference just four games instead of six during their opening weekend of games.
