In Reply to: Oklahoma & Texas Tech....125 pts and nearly a mile of offense! posted by Rod M on October 23, 2016 at 09:42:22:
No lead was safe, as Cal got up 21-0, but later got behind 42-34. The Bears then scored a touchdown and successfully went for a 2-point conversion to tie it at 42. Their defense then stopped Oregon, and they drove down the field for a winning field goal try with 4 seconds left. Of course, they missed it!
Into overtime: the Ducks score a touchdown on their second play. Cal comes back to tie, so it's now 49-49.
Second overtime: Bears have the ball first, and get it to first and goal at the three. Two successive illegal motion penalties put that ball back on the 13. Next play: offensive holding on Cal, so it's now first and goal on the 23! (Cal has a LONG history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!) Little to no progress on the next couple of plays, so it's fourth down and Cal is forced to try a field goal with the same kicker who missed the game winner in regular time. Somehow, this time, he makes it and Cal is up 52-49. Now it's Oregon's turn: second play of the drive, Cal gets an interception (the ONLY turnover of the whole game!). Game over. Man, I wish tinear were still around - LOL!
It used to be that the Bears were ALWAYS hapless. This season, under Sonny Dykes, they're only 50% hapless and, at the very least, consistently entertaining! ;-)
