BOWL HISTORY (continued)<br />
HOLIDAY BOWL<br />

CALIFORNIA 10<br />
TEXAS 21<br />
Playing in the Holiday Bowl for the third time in school history, the Longhorns<br />
topped the Golden Bears, 21-10, in the 2011 Bridgepoint Education Holiday<br />
Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA. In addition, Cal fell to 0-5 all-time<br />
against Texas.<br />
The Bears jumped out to an early 3-0 lead on a 47-yard field goal by Giorgio<br />
Tavecchio, but the Bears could only manage one more score in the contest. Isi<br />
Sofele scampered six yards for Cal's lone touchdown of the game on the opening<br />
drive of the second half to take a brief 10-7 lead.<br />
Texas quarterback David Ash added his name to the list of quarterbacks<br />
who've caught a touchdown pass in the Holiday Bowl and he also threw for one<br />
score. Ash caught a 4-yard pass from wide receiver Jaxon Shipley in the second<br />
quarter to join BYU's Steve Young, Texas A&M's Bucky Richardson and Oregon's<br />
Harrington as quarterbacks who've caught touchdown passes in the Holiday<br />
Bowl. Ash would later throw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Goodwin, who<br />
made a nice over-the-shoulder catch in full stride. That score gave the Longhorns<br />
a 14-10 lead and proved to clinch the win for Texas.<br />
Keenan Allen led the Bears with nine catches for 82 yards.<br />

ARMED FORCES BOWL<br />
DECEMBER 29, 2015<br />
CALIFORNIA 55<br />
AIR FORCE 36<br />
A 55-36 victory over Air Force in the 2015 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl<br />
followed a familiar script for a Cal program that took serious strides in 2015. Yet<br />
another tremendous performance from quarterback Jared Goff paved the way<br />
and the Bears followed his lead, rolling to their eighth win of the season for the<br />
first time since 2009.<br />
As was often the case for the Bears this year, Goff was the main character in<br />
Cal's story of success, completing 25 of 37 passes for 467 yards, six touchdowns<br />
and no interceptions to earn game MVP honors. Along the way, he set Pac-12<br />
single season records for passing touchdowns (43) and yards (4,719) while<br />
setting a Cal bowl record and tying his career high for touchdowns in a single<br />
game. His touchdown total also tied for second-most in Football Bowl Subdivision<br />
(FBS) bowl history.<br />
Goff's focus wasn't confined to one or two main targets. Kenny Lawler found<br />
the end zone three times, hauling in five passes for 75 yards while senior Bryce<br />
Treggs made his final collegiate game a memorable one with four catches for<br />
143 yards and a touchdown. Fellow senior Darius Powe caught two touchdown<br />
passes and nine different Bears caught a pass and Cal (8-5) racked up 586 yards<br />
of total offense while breaking the school record for points in a bowl game of 52<br />
(2003 Insight Bowl vs. Virginia Tech).<br />
