Auburn football score vs. Cal: Live updates from California Memorial Stadium
BERKELEY, Cal. — Road games are tough. Road games across the country in a stadium you've never played in are even tougher.
Auburn football (1-0) is tasked with dealing with that Saturday (9:30 p.m. CT, ESPN), as the Tigers are looking to score a win over Cal (1-0) in their road opener. Auburn is coming off a 59-14 win against UMass in Week 1 that featured three rushing touchdowns from backup quarterback Robby Ashford.
The Golden Bears, meanwhile, enter the Week 2 matchup after throttling North Texas, 58-21, on the road. Quarterback Sam Jackson V started the game, but exited after 18 plays with what coach Justin Wilcox described as an "upper-body" injury. It's unclear whether Jackson, Ben Finley or both QBs will play against the Tigers.
