"Sagapolutele, who earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors for his sharp performance at Oregon State the week before, was very much out of rhythm early. But he completed seven straight passes for 74 yards and scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak as the Bears hiked the lead to 11-0 before halftime. He then was 4 for 4 for 62 yards on a drive that pushed the advantage to 18-0 and completed his only attempt in a brief possession with made it 25-0 with 5:27 left in the third quarter."
"The defense kept the visiting Tigers (0-2) off balance most of the afternoon and was positioned to rack up the program's first shutout since 2005 until a 39-yard field goal by TSU's Christian Avelar a minute into the fourth quarter. That 52-yard drive was costly to the Bears, who lost star linebacker Cade Uluave to a targeting hit on Texas Southern quarterback TJ Cooper. As a result, Uluave will be ineligible to play the first half next week when Minnesota (2-0) visits."
Freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele started slowly but completed multiple consecutive passes and scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak as Cal pulled away to a 35-3 victory over Texas Southern. Sagapolutele finished 26 of 37 for 259 yards with one interception. The Cal defense held TSU mostly in check and nearly recorded the program's first shutout since 2005 before a 39-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Star linebacker Cade Uluave was ejected for targeting on a fourth-quarter drive and will miss the first half of next week's game. Backup Devin Brown entered late and threw a touchdown.
