LIVE UPDATES FROM POINSETTIA BOWL: California Golden Bears vs. Utah Utes

4:58 2nd quarter Utah 17 Cal 14

You can’t coach it, but every head coach talks about it; you don’t know when you’ll get it, and it’s hard to get back once you’ve lost it: momentum.

Utah clearly stole the early momentum back from Cal, and forced the Bears to go three-and-out after its successful field goal drive. The Utes partially blocked a punt from Bryan Anger, and, despite a friendly roll for Cal, got the ball at their own 44.

The Bear defense struggled on the subsequent drive, allowing Utah to drive down the field and score a touchdown to take the lead. Quarterback Jordan Wynn rifled a 15-yard pass to Kendrick Moeai (his second of the night) on third-and-10 for the score.

Cal desperately needs to get at least a couple of first downs on the next drive, because the defense cannot stop Utah right now.

Utah to kickoff.
