BERKELEY, Calif. – Cal quarterback Ross Bowers punctuated the Golden Bears’ 37-3 upset win over No. 8 Washington State with an acrobatic front flip into the end zone in the fourth quarter that went down as a 7-yard touchdown rush.

Here’s the best part – that wasn’t the first time Bowers, a Bothell High alum, has scored a touchdown on flip into the end zone.

He executed almost the exact same move in Bothell’s 24-14 win over Chiawana in the 4A state championship game during his senior year of high school.

“I didn’t have time to think at that moment, but after, for sure, [I thought about the flip in the state championship game],” Bowers said.
