No. 8 Miami has already arrived on the West Coast for this exciting matchup against Cal. The Canes still have a great roster and the plan is to insert players back into the lineup that has been missing over the past few weeks.

Does Cam Ward have another game that highlights his potential or will his past issues against a team like Cal return and hurt him? This team is looking to stay in title contention and continue on the path of an undefeated season and the roster is here to do that for the Hurricanes.
