Alejado, a redshirt freshman from Hawaii, will face off against Sagapolutele, a true freshman standout from Campbell High School, in what promises to be an exciting game at the Ching Complex at 3 p.m.
Nick Rolovich, the interim head coach for the California Golden Bears, is expected to lead the team in the Hawaii Bowl despite reports of Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi taking over as the new Cal coach.
