FORT WORTH — Jared Goff threw for 467 yards and six touchdowns as California won in the postseason for the first time in seven years, beating Air Force, 55-36, in the Armed Forces Bowl on Tuesday.
Goff had three of his scoring tosses in a span of five plays in the second quarter as the Bears (8-5) broke a 14-14 tie and cruised in a rematch of the 2007 Armed Forces Bowl, won by Cal, 42-36.
Receiver Kenny Lawler had three touchdowns for Cal, which last made the postseason in a 21-10 loss to Texas in the Holiday Bowl in 2011.
