24 Cal vs. Arizona State recap
24 Cal vs. Arizona State
The home team had not lost since 2003 in this epic battle. That was not to be the case today.
Jahvid Best and Marvin Jones each caught TD passes from Kevin Riley, who had 2 fumbles, and a nice drive capped of by big plays by Marvin Jones and Anthony Miller that started at the Cal 19 resulted in the GW field goal for the Bears.
A dropped touchdown and 2 missed field goals took 13 points off the board for Cal, who could have won 36-21. But, Riley completed passes for a total of 73 yards in the GW drive for Cal.
Cal took an early 14-0 lead with 2 Riley TD's, and a big stop where ASU started at the Cal 40. But, a 3 yard score off of a turnover and a 80 yard TD by Danny Sullivan to Kyle Williams tied the game at 14.
Giorgio Tavecchio hit a FG to give Cal the 17-14 lead, and that was the halftime score. And, after a bit of a disappointment in State territory, Tavecchio hit a 51 yarder to give Cal the 20-14 lead.
However, a great downfield drive with some Bear penalties and a 3rd down score by Cameron Marshall put the Sun evils up 21-20. The players who had penalties made up for the penalties they had with a 20+ pass receptions. But, the key on that last drive was Tavecchio's go ahead kick.
Up 23-21, all Cal had to do was stop ASU from completing a long pass. The Sun Devils got to the Cal 42, but heavy pressure forced Danny Sullivan to throw the ball away as Cal hung on. ASU fell to 2-3 in the conference and 4-4, while Cal improved to 3-2 in the conference and 6-2 overall, enough for a bowl game.
