"Cal's dreams of early bowl eligibility and perhaps a special season took a major hit Friday night in a 42-34 double-overtime loss at Virginia Tech's sold-out Lane Stadium. Here's how things unfolded in overtime: - Cal scored on one play when Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele fired a 25-yard touchdown strike to tight end Mason Mini. - Virginia Tech answered with quarterback Kyron Drones running it from 17 yards on second-and-2, tying the score at 34-all."
"The Hokies (3-5 2-2), who lost their first three games of the season and fired their coach, rushed for 357 yards against the Bears, who managed only 39 yards on the ground. They could not figure out Drones, who ran for 137 yards and two touchdowns and threw three TDs. Sagapolutele completed 24 of 39 passes for 285 yards with a touchdown and no turnovers."
Cal fell 42-34 in double overtime at Virginia Tech after failing on four straight plays on the Bears' final possession. Cal scored in the first OT on a 25-yard touchdown from Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele to Mason Mini, but Virginia Tech answered and took the second-OT lead when Kyron Drones hit Takye Heath and converted a two-point keeper. The Hokies rushed for 357 yards while Cal managed 39. Drones ran for 137 yards with two rushing touchdowns and threw three TDs. Sagapolutele went 24-of-39 for 285 yards, one touchdown and no turnovers. Linebacker Cade Uluave had 19 tackles, three for loss, and two sacks. Cal is 5-3 (2-2 ACC) and opens a four-game stretch against No. 16 Virginia next week.
