All season long, California's offense has been criticized for being unable to sustain long drives, and its defense has been criticized for being unable to create game-changing plays.

The Bears did both in their 34-28 upset of Stanford on Nov. 21.

Cal's offense controlled the ball for long stretches of time and had six consecutive drives of 62 yards or more during the middle part of the game to put up enough points. The Cal defense, which kept the potent Stanford offense in check most of the game, came up with a game-saving play when linebacker Mike Mohamed intercepted an Andrew Luck pass at the Cal 3-yard line with 1:36 left in the game.

Not only did the win knock archrival Stanford out of the Rose Bowl race, but it assured Cal a winning Pac-10 record and put the...

The California players listened quietly all week to the pregame talk about how powerful Stanford had a chance to go to the Rose Bowl. The Golden Bears provided their emphatic answer in one of the most exciting and important Big Games in recent memory. Shane Vereen ran for a career-high 193 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries and Mike Mohamed intercepted a pass from Andrew Luck at the 3 with...

Jim Harbaugh's first recruiting trip as Stanford's football coach was to Texas to visit Andrew Luck even though it would be more than a year before the quarterback could arrive on campus. Harbaugh visited three other quarterbacks on that trip but liked Luck best of all to be the quarterback to build a program around.

It took a career day by a backup running back, a fluke tackle by a kicker and an odd penalty that thwarted a potential go-ahead drive for California to pull out a victory without star tailback Jahvid Best. Shane Vereen scored on a 61-yard run immediately after an illegal forward pass knocked Arizona out of position for a potential game-winning field goal, and the Golden Bears went on to a 24-16...
