Cardinal led 17-6 entering final frame, but Bears score 21 in the fourth to win 27-20
Stanford had only scored five touchdowns in its previous five games, but it reached the end zone on the opening possession Saturday. Daniels ran 43 yards on a keeper, running back Mitch Leigber had a one-handed catch to the 1 and then Leigber ran for a 1-yard score.
That would be the only TD of the first half. Junior safety Alaka’i Gilman had a diving interception late in the second quarter, the first pick of his career, and the Cardinal led 10-6 at halftime. Elijah Higgins, whose brother Kaleb is a cornerback for the Bears, broke three tackles on a 9-yard TD catch to put Stanford up 17-6 midway through the third quarter.
But Stanford’s turnover issues came back to bite it at the worst time. After Daniels’s fumble, Tanner McKee was intercepted forcing a pass to tight end Benjamin Yurosek with three minutes left. The interception was returned to the Stanford 9, leading to Cal’s final score. Kicker Joshua Karty made a 61-yard field goal on the final play and has made all 16 of his field goal attempts this season.
