Flip out: Bowers' TD leap leads Cal past No. 8 Wash. St 37-3

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Ross Bowers did an acrobatic flip into the end zone to cap a touchdown run for California and the Golden Bears used a dominant defensive performance to stun No. 8 Washington State 37-3 Friday night for their first win in 14 years against a top 10 team.

Camryn Bynum had two of California's five interceptions against Luke Falk, and the Bears (4-3, 1/3 Pac-12) used seven turnovers and nine sacks to top the Cougars (6-1, 3-1) for a signature win under first-year coach Justin Wilcox.

Cal was just 1-52-1 against top 10 teams since 1978 with the only win coming over No.
