"The 8-yard scoring drive was set up when another freshman, defensive back Aiden Manutai, jumped on a loose ball after a muffed punt return try by Minnesota's Koi Perich. The Bears scored three plays later when Sagapolutele faked a handoff, rolled left and delivered a 2-yard touchdown pass to wide-open Jordan King. The extra point pushed the lead to 10 points."
"Sagapolutele finished the game 24 for 38 for a season-high 279 yards with three touchdowns and no turnovers. He connected with nine different receivers. Cal (3-0), which scored 27 points on a Golden Gophers' defense that had allowed a total of just 10 in its first two games combined, can match its best start in six seasons next week when it visits San Diego State (1-1). Minnesota lost for the first time in three games."
Cal remained unbeaten after a 27-14 victory over Minnesota at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley. Freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele completed 24 of 38 passes for a season-high 279 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers, spreading the ball to nine receivers. Freshman defensive back Aiden Manutai recovered a muffed punt return, setting up a late touchdown. Cal led 10-7 at halftime, surrendered a brief Minnesota lead in the third quarter, and regained control with a scoring drive capped by Sagapolutele's pass to Jordan King. Kicker Chase Meyer added a 38-yard field goal to finish scoring.
