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.
