The Golden Bears hold a 3-2 advantage in their all-time series against the Rainbow Warriors, including a decisive 51-31 victory in their last meeting in 2016, played in Sydney, Australia. This will be Cal’s second appearance in a bowl game in Honolulu, with their first being the Aloha Bowl in 1996.
