De Laura's Return Sparks Washington State Past Cal
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Jayden de Laura passed for three touchdowns, two to Calvin Jackson Jr. who made a spectacular one-handed grab near the corner of the end zone, and Washington State beat California 21-6 on Saturday.
Playing for the first time since suffering a leg injury against Southern California two weeks ago, de Laura matched his career best of 25 completions on 41 attempts for 219 yards with two interceptions to help the Cougars (2-3, 1-2 Pac-12) to their first win at Memorial Stadium since 2013.
''It felt fine to go out there,'' de Laura said. ''I knew I had to bring some energy and do my part. I just gave the receivers and the running backs the ball and let them make plays.''
