2 Pac-12 football games canceled as virus problems linger
Instead, Cal will play UCLA on Sunday at the Rose Bowl. Friday's announcements from the West Coast capped the most tumultuous week of COVID-19 disruptions of the college football season. The Sun Devils' home opener was nixed because of several positive COVID-19 tests among the team's players and coaching staff, including head coach Herm Edwards. The Pac-12 said the canceled games will be declared a no contest. So far, 63 games involving schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision have been canceled or postponed because of the pandemic since late August.
Cal-Washington game canceled after player's positive test
The season opener between California and Washington has been canceled following a request from the Golden Bears due to a positive coronavirus test for one of their players. The school said the player with a positive test is asymptomatic. He took his regular daily antigen test and then a supplemental PCR test, which also showed a positive result. This marked the first positive test on Cal’s football team since practices began last month. This is the fourth time a Tulsa game has been postponed or canceled because of COVID cases.
