In many respects, Cal played an even if not superior game with Stanford. Cal outgained Stanford 495 to 356, and that advantage was even more pronounced through three quarters. They both averaged six to seven yards per play. Cal was 10-18 on 3rd down, Stanford 5-10. Cal even won the time of possession battle, which feels like a minor miracle as an Air Raid squad battling Stanford grit and grind. Tony Franklin had the Bears marching down the field for much of the game and Art Kaufman had the Cal defense holding its own for three quarters (only 14 points allowed!
