USC helped Cal out with errant snap that somehow found its way to tight end USC tight end Erik Krommenhoek, who was stopped after 1-yard gain.The same way that filmmakers sometimes have to take on the role of director, editor, cinematographer (and sometimes actor!), they also often have to take on the task of perfecting the color of their videos. The second-biggest play was a Cal stop on a USC fourth-and-2 play from the Cal 3-yard line in the third quarter. Elijah Hicks' hit on Darwin Barlow caused the fumble, and Paster made it a game-changing play. The biggest play was Trey Paster's 55-yard fumble return for a touchdown that put Cal ahead 17-7. But it recorded only one touchdown from those seven shots.
USC marched up and down the field, and it got inside the Cal 40-yard line seven times. But even he noted that the defense saved the day. He was 18-for-21 for 177 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Garbers had an efficient, if not spectacular, performance. Ultimately what made the difference Saturday were two USC turnovers that changed the complexion of the game and Cal's ability to prevent the Trojans from getting into the end zone when they got close.

It didn't matter that USC had fewer penalty yards assessed against it than Cal: 53-39.Īnd it didn't really matter that USC was not playing with a full deck. The Trojans played without a number of starters, including wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr., running back Keaontay Ingram, outside linebacker Drake Jackson and three starting defensive backs. It didn't matter that USC's Vavae Malepeai was the game's leading rusher with 107 yards. It didn't really matter that USC outgained Cal 409-265 or that USC had 25 first downs to Cal's 13 or that USC ran 79 offensive plays to Cal's 52. "I was so excited to get a win, to beat a team like SC that I don't really like at all being from SoCal." "That's a decision a couple weeks away," said Garbers, who is from Newport Beach, Calif.
Cal quarterback Chase Garbers is one of those seniors who must decide soon whether he will enter the NFL Draft or come back in 2022 to become a rare commodity in 2022 - a fifth-year starting quarterback. We will know in a few weeks whether a number of seniors eligible to return to Cal next year will actually do so.
