If a Beaver Falls in the Forest… (Cal 41, Oregon State 13)

Anyway, this game was never in doubt. Cal scored first — a first for this season! — and while the defense wasn’t going to win any awards, it bent and didn’t break. Three TDs for Lynch, including two in the air from Longshore. Four more passing TDs for Longshore.
The offensive highlight for OSU, meanwhile, was probably Alexis Serna’s awe-inspiring 58-yard field goal, which cut the Cal lead to 31-3. Oh, dagger through the heart!
I look forward to the game video highlights, once they’re shipped down the coast by tramp steamer and re-enacted by trained thespians at my local nickelodeon.
