The Auburn Tigers came out on top Saturday night in Berkeley against the California Golden Bears.
It was a game dominated by defense and untimely turnovers, but the Tigers squeaked out a 14-10 victory over Cal thanks to a late touchdown pass followed by an Auburn interception in the final minutes.
The Auburn offense continued to struggle to find any rhythm on the ensuing drive and failed to gain any positive yardage. However, the defense came up big on Cal’s next offensive drive and sacked Cal quarterback Ben Finley on 3rd and 10, forcing the Cal field goal unit to come out again. This time, the Cal kicker could not send it through the uprights, and the game remained 3-0 in favor of the home team.
When the Auburn offense came on the field again, it looked like they were finding a rhythm in the run game with Damari Alston. Things turned south when Alston fumbled the ball after bouncing through tackles. Cal’s defense came up with the ball, and the defensive war between the two games continued. The Tiger defense continued their strong play and held the Golden Bears to a field goal attempt. Cal kicker Michael Luckhurst sent the ball through the uprights. However, a very costly holding call erased the play, and Cal was forced to replay the down.
Cal marched down the field again on the opening drive of the fourth quarter, but once again, when in scoring range, they had to call on the field goal unit thanks to Eugene Asante coming up with a clutch third-down sack for Auburn.
