California Golden Bears Roar Past Texas Southern Tigers with Dominant Display

The California Golden Bears continued their impressive start to the season, improving their record to 2-0 with a commanding 35-3 victory over the Texas Southern Tigers at California Memorial Stadium. The Tigers, now 0-2, struggled to find any rhythm against a formidable Cal defense.

First Quarter

The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses. The Golden Bears managed to put points on the board first through a field goal by Chase Meyer, who nailed it from 43 yards out. This early lead set the tone for what would be a dominant performance by Cal.

Second Quarter

Cal's offense found its stride in the second quarter. Kendrick Raphael was instrumental in this period, rushing for one of his touchdowns and gaining significant yardage on multiple plays. His longest rush of 33 yards showcased his speed and agility as he weaved through defenders. Meanwhile, Devin Brown connected with Jayden Dixon-Veal for a touchdown pass that extended Cal's lead further.

Third Quarter

The third quarter saw an explosive performance from Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who orchestrated several successful drives downfield despite facing pressure from Texas Southern's defense. Although Sagapolutele did not throw any touchdowns during this period, his precise passing helped maintain possession and control of the game.

Fourth Quarter

In the final quarter, LJ Johnson Jr.'s rushing prowess came into play as he scored another touchdown for Cal with an impressive run that left defenders trailing behind him. The defense also shone brightly; Hezekiah Masses intercepted a pass which halted any momentum Texas Southern hoped to build upon after scoring their only points via a field goal earlier in this period.

Throughout the match-up between these two teams—California Golden Bears vs Texas Southern Tigers—the key moments were defined by Cal's relentless offensive drives and staunch defensive stands that kept their opponents at bay consistently throughout all four quarters.
