BERKELEY, Calif. -- San Diego State was unable to stop Jared Goff and California's potent offensive attack in a 35-7 loss Saturday in Berkeley, Calif.
The Aztecs (1-1) jumped out to the early lead as they used an 8-play, 71-yard drive over 3:52, punctuated by a 29-yard pass from Maxwell Smith to Daniel Brunskill. On the game's opening drive, Smith was 4-for-4 for 58 yards and the touchdown, while Donnel Pumphrey and Rashaad Penny combined to rush for the other 13 yards.
It would be SDSU's only points in the game, however, as the Bears (2-0) scored the final 35 points in the game.
San Diego State held Cal at bay early, forcing two punts, a missed field goal and a turnover over the first five drives.
California, who defeated Grambling State, 73-14, in the opener the week before, finally got on the scoreboard with 12:22 left in the second quarter when Goff found Darius Powe with a quick 4-yard catch-and-run.
It appeared it would go into halftime tied at 7-7 as the Aztecs were burning the clock (4:53 on 10 plays), but Christian Chapman, who replaced Smith, was intercepted by Darius White at the Cal 35. The Bears responded with a quick score right before halftime (0:12) as Goff threw three straight completions to Bryce Treggs (28 yards), Kenny Lawler (24 yards) and Maurice Harris (13 yards), the latter for a touchdown and putting California up, 14-7, at the half.
Goff followed with a 75-yard touchdown strike to Trevor Davis on the first play of the third quarter, extending the Bears' lead to 21-7.
A 3-yard rushing score by Daniel Lasco put Cal up by 21 at 28-7 late in the third quarter.
SDSU got into California's territory, thanks to a key 33-yard completion from Smith to Eric Judge on 3rd and 15. Three plays later, however, Smith was intercepted by Evan Rambo, ultimately ending San Diego State's final threat.
A 17-yard rushing touchdown by Vic Enwere early in the fourth quarter rounded out the scoring for the Bears.
The Aztecs dominated the possession time by almost 10 minutes (34:10-25:50), but Cal's quick strikes on offense and 12 SDSU penalties (136 yards) ultimately ruined any chance of a road win.
Smith (10-for-19, TD, INT) threw for 136 yards, while Chapman (4-for-13, INT) passed for 37 yards off the bench. Pumphrey rushed for 85 yards on 21 carries, averaging 4.0 yards per attempt, while Mikah Holder had three catches for 27 yards.
Jake Fely had a game-high 11 tackles, including 1.0 TFL, and 0.5 sacks to pace the San Diego State defense. The 11 stops were his most since Nov. 24, 2012 at Wyoming. Malik Smith added eight tackles, while Damontae Kazee and Na'im McGee recorded seven tackles apiece in a losing effort. Calvin Munson, the reigning Walter Camp FBS Defensive Player of the Week, Lott IMPACT Trophy Player of the Week and Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week, made six tackles, including 2.0 TFL, and 1.5 sacks for an encore.
Goff finished 17-for-24 for 321 yards and three touchdowns, leaving him 15 yards short of the school's all-time passing record. Lasco ran for 123 yards on 19 carries (6.5 avg.) and Davis had 138 receiving yards on three catches.
California took back the all-time series lead at 4-3 as the home team is now 7-0 in the series.
