Insta-Recap

The California Golden Bears (4-6, 3-4 Pac-12) averaged 10.1 yards per play Saturday night, as they rolled to a 41-11 victory over the Stanford Cardinal (3-8, 2-7 Pac-12).

Despite the slow start to the 124th Big Game, California would eventually put up more than 636 yards of offense, including 352 rushing. The Golden Bears put six running backs to work with two contributing scores: Marcel Dancy put two touchdowns on the board while fourth-string running back Chris Street added another in the fourth quarter.

California quarterback Chase Garbers ended the night with 246 yards passing for two touchdowns and one interception and 59 yards carrying the rock.

The Golden Bears reclaim the Stanford Axe.

I’m happy for the entire team obviously but I’m probably most happy for Dancy when he hit that 76 yard TD. He has been the ultimate team player on this team and has kind of personified Cal under Wilcox; small, scrappy and never backs down all while doing it with class. When he hit that corner and the DB missed in the ankle swipe I was so happy for him at that moment. He basically iced the game and I am so, so happy it was him doing it!!

Go Dancy! Go Bears!!

Just delightful.

Chase Garbers is carving out a special place in my cold, Cal heart, I gotta admit it.

Despite his limitations, he's won 2 at 'Furd....pretty impressive.
