Overview

  • After Louisville took a 26-23 lead with a 49-yard field goal in overtime, Cal chose to go for it on 4th-and-goal and Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele hit Jacob De Jesus for the 3-yard winner.
  • Sagapolutele posted a career night, completing 30 of 47 passes for 323 yards and two touchdowns.
  • De Jesus finished with 16 receptions for 158 yards and caught the decisive score.
  • Hezekiah Masses recorded his fifth interception of the season, setting up a 45-yard Chase Meyer field goal during a back-and-forth second half.
  • The result moved Cal to 6-4 (3-3 ACC) and dropped Louisville to 7-2 (4-2), denting the Cardinals’ ACC standing; next up, Cal visits Stanford on Nov. 22 and Louisville hosts Clemson next weekend.
