Remember when Ross Bowers threw for 363 yards and 4 TDs on 63% passing on the road in his first start as a collegiate quarterback? That seemed like ages ago while watching the California Golden Bears’ offense sputter about for 60 minutes on Saturday. Fortunately, the first 50 minutes of the game were a delight to watch thanks to a defense that held the North Carolina Tar Heels to 99 yards over the first three quarters. Then, the team seemed content to let UNC burn up the clock with long and plodding—but ultimately successful—scoring drives.
Rating the Bears: Cal vs. North Carolina
