Royce Freeman ran for 101 yards and a touchdown for the Ducks (2-1), who rebounded from last weekend’s loss at Michigan State.

Darius Allensworth is growing up fast in Cal’s secondary. The final TD came on Muhammad’s 74-yard burst up the middle, which was particularly vexing to Strong. “An extra point is automatic”. Single-game tickets start at just $30 for youth/seniors and $40 for adults and can be purchased by visiting CalBears.com or calling 1-800-GO BEARS. “We were watching film, and we could see that their edge wasn’t as strong as other people’s edges”.
As I stated, I stand behind my 7-5 prediction. Quarterback Jared Goff threw for over 300 yards in the Golden Bears’ first two games, and he could be a factor in the Heisman race if California proves to be a real threat in the Pac-12 race.
So Goff broke the record on the next drive instead. That guy can throw it down the field 40 yards on his back foot, I mean, on a line.
Goff, a junior, completed 27 of 37 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns without an interception in front of scouts from four National Football League clubs. That’s when Heard showed some serious moxie. He needs 10 more to match his father, Brian Treggs, who played at Cal from 1988-91….
As for the positives, Texas has a quarterback that will lead this team the rest of the season.
Texas opened the season with a blowout loss to Notre Dame before bouncing back with an easy victory over Rice.
Even before the miss, Saturday’s game was remarkable enough. That would align him with another Texas high school-turned-college legend whose game his happens to resemble: Johnny Manziel.
Texas running back D’Onta Foreman (33) runs for a touchdown against California’s Luke Rubenzer (17) during the second half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, September 19, 2015, in Austin, Texas. Heard led three late game touchdown drives to bring the Longhorns to within a point of forcing overtime.
California walks away with a win, a boatload of relieved players and coaches, and some teachable moments about maintaining aggression and concentration to the very end of a game. Drew had to be helped off the field in the first half, returned, then didn’t play much of the second half. Goff took advantage of the turnover, and after a 22-yard pass to Lawler, Enwere took the ball into the endzone once again.
The Bears are seeking their first 3-0 start since 2011.
Jerrod Heard found the end zone on a 13-yard scurry with 13:24 left in the fourth quarter trimming the Cal lead over the Longhorns to 45-31. Texas proceeded to score 20 points in 15 minutes.
To prepare for the heat and humidity they expect to face in Texas, the Bears practiced earlier this season in nearby Contra Costa County where the temperatures have been in the 90s and low 100s.
