First Quarter
Cal started off the first quarter with a pretty nice looking drive that did not end well. Stud QB Jared Goff made some good connections with WRs Kenny Lawler and Maurice Harris and even sprinkled in a nice 8-yard scamper of his own. On 3rd and 6 yds to go, Goff threw a laser pass to an in-slanting Lawler, but Lawler took his eye off the ball for a split second and it sailed through his hands, off his facemask, and intercepted by Utah's Marcus Williams.
Cal's defense stood strong against Utah's offensive possession, forcing a punt.
