Cal may be without starting QB Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele against Hokies
Summary

The Virginia Tech Hokies (4-1, 1-1) are set to face the California Golden Bears (2-3, 1-1) on Saturday. Cal's starting quarterback, Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, is in concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury during last week's loss to UNLV. Sagapolutele has completed 65% of his passes this season. Virginia Tech is looking to rebound from a controversial 35-33 loss to Pitt. Cal will also have a new playcaller after head coach Tosh Lupoi replaced offensive coordinator Jordan Somerville during last week's game. The ACC will issue an availability report on Wednesday, keeping Sagapolutele's status uncertain until later in the week.
