It was a strong performance by the Golden Bears in a see-saw game that saw many lead changes and plenty of excitement. In the end, Cal won 52-49 over the Virginia Tech Hokies in the Insight Bowl. Beforehand, we knew it would be high-scoring and fairly close, but we didn't know how dominating each offense would be. Virginia Tech ran and passed with ease in the first half while Cal in the second half short played the Hokies defense to death while once in a while hitting them large with an opportune play. It was 7-0 Cal, then 28-14 VT, then 42-28 Cal. VT eventually tied it up at 49 with a special teams letdown on the part of Cal with a punt return TD from VT's Hall. But quarterback Aaron Rodgers, poised and brimming with confidence, led the team down to the 18 yard line of VT and set up Tyler Frederickson for the game-winning field goal. Great game by all.
