Cal offense struggles as Bears fall to Clemson in Berkeley
The Cal Bears got a solid effort from their defense, which scored a touchdown, but the offense never got untracked against Clemson in Berkeley on Friday night, managing just three points.
Cal's offense faltered as the Bears suffered a loss to Clemson in Berkeley. Quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele completed 16 of 29 passes for 119 yards and two interceptions, but the Cal defense was unable to secure a victory. Clemson's defense made early impacts, with cornerback Isaiah Crosby intercepting a pass from freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds.
Cal's sophomore quarterback then threw two interceptions, further hampering his team's offensive production. Despite an early lead, the Bears struggled to generate consistent scoring drives. Clemson capitalized on Cal's mistakes, including a crucial 65-yard punt return touchdown by Bryant Wesco Jr., leading to a 17-10 halftime score.
A final game-winning 75-yard touchdown run by Clemson's Gideon Davidson sealed the 24-10 victory for Clemson. The Bears defense held out for three plays, managing to stop Clemson's 48-yard field goal attempt. However, Cal's offensive struggles ultimately proved too much to overcome, leaving the team with a 2-2 record on the season.
