A staple in the college football world for the last few decades has been the Pac-12 after dark. Put, any West Coast team would be playing at a normal time for that time zone but for the East Coast, midnight Eastern time kickoffs would be a grueling watch.

No. 7 Miami will now face the California Golden Bears at 10:30 p.m. ET on Oct 5. on ESPN the ACC announced on Monday.

This will be a true test for the Hurricanes. This road trip will be one of the team's great challenges because of the grueling distance to play football. Head coach Mario Cristobal will be used to playing on the West Coast and so will quarterback Cam Ward. The key will be for them to prepare the team for the long and grueling battle against Cal.
