The California Golden Bears will not have many linebackers available for their final game of the season. Cal might have to get creative to stop the triple option and rely heavily on their secondary.
Jalen Jefferson did not make the trip to Dallas for personal reasons, according to Ryan Gorcey. As a senior, he has played his final game at Cal.
Michael Barton is unavailable due to injury and has also played his final game at Cal. He will transfer next year to a graduate program.
Devante Downs has a lingering injury and is not playing.
