Despite coming into the game without a single win under their belt, the Bears were able to pull out the upset over the No. 23 Oregon Ducks, beating them for the first time in the Justin Wilcox era. Quarterback Chase Garbers did not have his flashiest game of the season, but, in typical Cal fashion, the defense muscled the load while the offense did just enough to win.
The highlight of Garbers’ game came on a perfectly executed 28-yard touchdown toss to junior receiver Nikko Remigio a play that ended up being spread nationally throughout social media thanks to the quarterback’s smooth behind-the-back ball fake. Despite the pass being thrown midway through the third quarter, the touchdown would end up winning the game for Cal, as the Bears’ defense masterfully held the Ducks scoreless in the second half.
