Friday's game might be decided on the ground. California has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 164.4 rushing yards per game.

Everything came up roses for California against Livermore when the teams last played back in October of 2024, as the squad secured a 42-14 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Cowboys' Kamarri Robinson, who rushed for 141 yards on only 14 carries, and also caught one score. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Grizzlies to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
