Neck and neck until the double pick, then Memorial emptied faster than Tosh's hook for a hurt JKS.

What happened

California opened the season by hanging with UCLA for most of an evening, which turned out to be the cruelest option available. The turning point came in a pair of interceptions, back to back, after which the thing stopped being competitive and started being a formality. Fans watched the stadium empty around them and noted that "Tosh needs to man up and pull JKS," who looked hurt long before the final 45-24. At 0-1, Berkeley has eleven more Saturdays to fill.

What fans said

  • “gotta feel bad for staying neck and neck the whole time, followed by that double pick, followed by the stadium completely clearing out.”
