McDonald zips 13-yard TD pass to Byrd

BERKELEY, Calif. -- California coach Justin Wilcox has come to accept his team's inconsistencies on offense. It's been much easier to handle with the way the Golden Bears have been on the other side of the ball.

Elijah Hicks and Ashtyn Davis scored on interception returns for touchdowns in the first quarter as California forced a season-high five turnovers and rolled past Colorado 33-21 on Saturday night.

Chase Garbers passed for 116 yards and two touchdowns while absorbing several big hits early as the Golden Bears (7-4, 4-4 Pac-12) clinched their first winning season since 2015 despite nearly blowing a 17-point lead.
