The Beavs started off hot with a methodical drive that ended with another trick play as a double pass saw Tuli Wily-Matagi throw a TD pass to Ryan Nall.
It would have been great if the game could have just wended there, but according to the rules of football that is not allowed. Cal responded quickly tying the game up on a Patrick Laird touchdown. During that drive Oregon State’s thin secondary took another hit when Kyle White was ejected for a suspect targeting call. Following a 3 and out from the Beavs and a sub-par punt from Nate Porebski, Cal tacked on another 7 with a TD pass to Vic Wharton.
