The LA Memorial Coliseum is the home of the USC Trojans
football. The Golden Bears took on the Trojans on the
road.

Two Friends at the Game

Bears were excellent on offense, outgaining USC 424 yards
to 205, and 31 first downs to 14.
|

Aaron Rodgers completed 29 of 34 attempts for 267 yards
and a touchdown. He set the NCAA record with 23 straight
completions.

No. 8 Aaron Rodgers is shown on the lower left corner, and
No. 5 Makonnen caught the ball in front of the Trojan
defender.
|

The ball is in the air, traveling to the wide open tight
end Garrett Cross.
|

Cal cheerleaders were right in front of the Cal Band and
the Cal rooting section, cheering on the crowd.
|

Harrison Smith (No. 11) intercepted a pass from Matt
Leinart in the end zone. The Bears defense overall limited
the Trojans to only 205 yards of total offense and 164
yards in the air.
|

With 4:31 left in the game, the Golden Bears offense
stepped onto the field for one last time, for the final
drive that wasn't.
|

With the receivers covered, Rodgers scrambled for 14 yards
for a first down in the final drive of the game.
|

So close, yet so far. With 1:30 left in the game and
trailing by 6, a laser beamed by Rodgers was dropped,
and another pass was thrown to a receiver who slipped on
the route, concluded a Trojan victory.
|

The Cal Band performns at the half.
|

Teams shake hands as they were leaving the field. The
Bears received a standing ovation as they were leaving the
field, applauding their great effort in a hostile
environment against the #1 team in the country.
