BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — In a dramatic comeback win, Cal's reserve running back Ashten Emory scored two touchdowns, including a crucial 18-yard run with 18 seconds remaining, to secure a 25-20 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday. Facing a 20-19 deficit, Emory's 46-yard touchdown run in relief of injured starter Adam Mohammed secured Cal's lead.
Quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, sidelined due to a concussion from a previous game, was replaced by Jackson Brousseau, who threw for 321 yards and one touchdown in his first start. Cal's efficient passing game, despite rushing for only 82 yards, proved crucial as they went on to win their second consecutive conference game.
Following their loss to UNLV, Virginia Tech has lost its last two games, both by one score. Cal will host Wake Forest on Saturday, while Virginia Tech travels to host Georgia Tech.
