Locked in another close game against the Washington Huskies (2-1, 1-0 Pac-12), the California Golden Bears (1-3, 0-1 Pac-12) lost 24-31 in overtime, dropping the ball and its chances at their first Pac-12 Conference victory.

Washington defensive back Cameron Williams forced a fumble at its 1-yard line in overtime, denying California running back Damien Moore the touchdown and chance to force a second overtime period.

California outgained Washington throughout the game in yards 457 to 326, but costly penalties and three turnovers cost the visiting team its desired result.

Golden Bears quarterback Chase Garbers threw two interceptions and gave the game away, despite a record night passing.

I passionately disagree with the author's assertion that Garbers' threw the game away. This loss is not entirely on him. He had a few mistakes but he also made many good plays to counter balance the mistakes. Furthermore, every other unit had as many or more mistakes. The penalties, the blown coverages, the first half lack of pressure, the botched special teams, and the continued infatuation to go for the home run on third and short are all equally as important as Garbers' mistkes.

This loss is solely on Slater Zellers and Charlie Ragle. Stupidly not taking the ball first with the momentum didnt help but those 2 need to be told personally that they lost this game.
