Cal vs Arizona St '15

After spotting Arizona St. a lead of 24-3 in the first half, the California Golden Bears rallied to a 48-46 victory behind a 542 yard, 5 touchdown performance by quarterback Jared Goff in what will probably be his final appearance at Memorial Stadium. After four separate lead changes in the final quarter, Matt Anderson's 26 yard field goal with 4'seconds to play provided the winning margin. Goff was masterful in guiding the Bears to 5 consecutive touchdown drives in the second half before engineering the final drive to put the team within easy field goal range. The much too generous defense of the first half found new life in the second as it thwarted almost every Sun Devil attempt at the end zone by holding them to field goals while the Bears answered with touchdowns. The defensive unit redefined the concept of 'bend but don't break' as it provided just enough resistance to allow the offense and Goff to work their magic down the stretch. As Joe Kapp famously declared some years ago, "the Bear never quits and the Bear never dies!!"
This was an epic win for a program that has seen its share of ups and downs in recent years and marks perhaps the final exclamation point on Goff's stellar career at Cal. He is almost certain to make himself available in the upcoming NFL draft as the #1 college quarterback in the nation.
With a 7-5 seasonal record, the Bears look forward to their first bowl invitation in 4 years. It was a night to remember for everyone associated with the Cal family. Roll on you Bears!!
