The game was marked by a dominant passing offense from the California team. The quarterback's arm was on full display as he completed 24 out of 36 attempts, amassing a total of 373 yards through the air. This aerial assault included four touchdowns, with one remarkable pass connecting for a distance of 60 yards that resulted in an electrifying touchdown. The passing efficiency was further highlighted by an impressive completion percentage of approximately 67 percent and an average gain per play standing at about six yards.


The receiving corps played a significant role in this victory, catching balls for a total of 373 yards and securing all four touchdowns scored by their team. Their ability to gain yardage after receptions was pivotal to maintaining momentum throughout the game.


On special teams, kickoffs traveled for a combined distance of 323 yards with four resulting in touchbacks, demonstrating both power and precision from California's kicking unit. Despite not scoring via rushing plays or field goals, their red zone efficiency was flawless with three attempts converting into three scores.


The defense also contributed significantly to this win by sacking the opposing quarterback three times for lost yardage totaling around twelve yards. They held firm against rushing attacks as well, allowing only sixty rushing yards throughout the entire game.


Penalties were minimal on both sides; however, it is worth noting that California incurred just four penalties amounting to thirty penalty yards which did not significantly hinder their performance or momentum during critical moments in this contest.
