This is the seventh in my series of interviews with 2023 SuperWest nonconference football opponents.
In this episode, I talk with Cole Pinkston, a football and recruiting analyst for AuburnLive/On3 Sports, about Cal’s Week Two tilt against the Tigers of the SEC.
We discuss Auburn’s roster and how it matches up with a rebuilding Bear team and preview the September 9th night contest, giving our early game predictions
The contest features two programs looking to rebound from losing seasons in 2022 with a key early win.
We talk about the challenge Auburn faces in playing a late game across time zones and California’s need for a better-than-typical crowd at Memorial Stadium.
This will be the first-ever matchup between the Bears and the Tigers.
You can reach Pinkston on Twitter at @ColePinkston, and I’m always open to your comments at @WordsByBartlett.
