3:00+ First Quarter Bears 14 Utah 0
The game began ominously for Cal when Utah ripped off a 45-yard catch and run on it's third play from scrimmage, but the defense recovered nicely. The Bears did not allow the Utes to gain the precious extra few yards that would have set-up a long field goal, and Utah elected to punt.
On Cal's second drive, it took less than two minutes and only five plays for running back Shane Vereen to show why he's the best backup in the country. He took a hand-off 36-yards to the house, in which it was clear he was gone after he cleared the line of scrimmage. The only player with a chance to save the touchdown, defensive back Brandon Burton, slipped as he turned to pursue Vereen.
Once Utah got the ball back, freshman quarterback Jordan Wynn threw an interception into the waiting arms of Cal linebacker Eddie Young, who returned the pick for a 31-yard touchdown. It is the first touchdown of his career.
Utah in the red zone, 2nd and 12.
