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 Bears make their second trip east in ACC play, having won 28-24 at Boston College on Sept. 27. They are coming off a 21-18 home victory vs. North Carolina, but they are just 2-2 since a 3-0 start. ... A win would put Cal two games over .500 in conference play for the first time since opening 2-0 in the Pac-12 in 2015.
