For all its warts, College Football remains the sport of many fans in November, especially Thanksgiving / Rivalry weekend. While our Sportsman of the Week wasn't in a pure rivalry, his performance upended the college football playoff in a huge win in their season finale. California quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele had nearly a perfect day in shredding 2024 playoff participant and expected ACC Championship Game contender Southern Methodist. Sagapolutele hit all but 9 of his 40 passes, and four of the 31 completions went for touchdowns. To four different receivers. The four TDs and 330 yards in the game were a career high. He was sacked never. He threw no interceptions. And the freshman led the kinds of two-minute drives legends do. JKS went 5 for 6, making his biggest completion to the 5-yard line with 40s left before having his RB punch it in. Cal ends the season at a quietly good 7-5 and will be bowling. Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele is a big name to watch in the future and is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
