Overview

• Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele went 24-of-38 for 279 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, finding three different receivers in the end zone.
• California closed with 17 unanswered points, capitalizing on a missed 51-yard field goal and a muffed punt to put the game away.
• Head coach Justin Wilcox praised Sagapolutele’s command of the offense as the Bears leaned on the air attack with the run game limited to about 2.5 yards per carry.
• The win moves Cal to 3-0 for the second straight season and the fifth time in nine years under Wilcox in its first test against a power-conference opponent.
• Inside linebacker Cade Uluave returned after a first-half absence tied to last week’s ejection, while Minnesota played without injured running back Darius Taylor.
