Kendrick Raphael (CAL) total rushing yards prop bet for Wednesday's Hawaii Bowl game was set at 80.5.
Raphael was the Golden Bears' workhorse this fall, and he closed out the year with yet another strong performance, scoring his 13th touchdown of the season and eclipsing 100 yards rushing for the third time. Raphael, who spent the first two seasons of his career with NC State, had a career year in Berkeley, rushing for 853 yards and 12 touchdowns on 4.0 yards per carry, also reeling in 31 grabs for 231 yards and two touchdowns. He'll have one more season of eligibility remaining, and should he elect to stay with Cal, he should once again be the lead back.
Landon Sims of Hawaii rushing stats included 523 yards on 113 carries, 3 TDs, but there was not a prop bet offered on him coming into this game.
Cal won 38-35 over SMU on Saturday, Nov. 29. Sagapolutele passed for 330 yards on 31-of-40 attempts (77.5%) with four touchdowns and no interceptions. Raphael carried the ball 33 times for 111 yards and scored one touchdown, adding five receptions for 53 yards. De Jesus had 12 receptions for 97 yards and one touchdown.
Hawaii won 27-7 over Wyoming on Saturday, Nov. 29. Alejado led Hawaii with 289 yards on 17-of-24 passing (70.8%) for two touchdowns and one interception. Cam Barfield carried the ball 15 times for 77 yards and scored one touchdown, adding three receptions for 17 yards and one touchdown. Harris had four receptions for 153 yards and one touchdown.
