Thats the way Im approaching it. Ill walk around Sydney, see the culture and embrace it and maybe eat lamb because everybody talks about that.Webb, who Dykes has already named as starting quarterback, is one of the key Cal additions this year, replacing Jared Goff, the No. 1 overall NFL draft pick by the Los Angeles Rams.A graduate transfer from Texas Tech, Webb played in 23 games with 14 starts over three seasons, with career totals of 5,557 yards and 46 touchdowns. Hes enrolled in Cals public health masters program.Dykes says he and the team are embracing the trip. Some of the players had never left the U.S., so organizing passports was among the preparations needed for the season opener.When you have an opportunity as an 18-year-old to go across the world to a different continent, see a completely different culture, explore a place you might never have had an opportunity to explore, just the impact that can have on your life is great, Dykes said before leaving. The value of that, you cant determine that.The game, with Cal designated as the home team, will be the first college football game played in Sydney and the first significant American football game played in Australia since 1999.
