Cal ends non-conference slate with shaky win before Pac-12 gauntlet begins

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:25:07 GMT

BERKELEY — Because his Cal team scored the game’s final 31 points, coach Justin Wilcox was able to swallow hard and move on after a poor start that allowed Idaho to jump out to a 17-0 lead on Saturday afternoon in front of 36,810 fans at Memorial Stadium.Wilcox also knows his team’s performance in a 31-17 win over the nation’s fifth-ranked FCS team won’t translate a week from now when the Bears (2-1) open their final Pac-12 season at Washington, which is ranked No. 8 in FBS.“We’re all going to sit up here and say we’ve got to be better. It’s true. Now it needs to be reflected,” Wilcox said. “The size and explosiveness — and this is not a knock in Idaho — next week’s going to be different.”The Huskies improved to 3-0 after going on the road and scoring the game’s first 41 points against Michigan State in a 41-7 win over the Spartans. Washington is one of eight Pac-12 teams that entered Week 3 ranked in the AP Top 25, and all eight will likely remain there for Week 4, too.Quarterback ...

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Dante Moore continues to look like UCLA’s starting quarterback, even though his coach doesn’t want to name one.The freshman passed for 182 yards and two touchdowns along with directing four scoring drives in the 24th ranked Bruins 59-7 rout of North Carolina Central Saturday.Moore has started the last two games, but when coach Chip Kelly was asked if it was safe to say Moore had earned the top spot on the depth chart, Kelly said “there’s nothing safe to say.”Moore was one of five UCLA quarterbacks that played, with four directing scoring drives. The Bruins had 614 yards of total offense — including 404 rushing — as they improved to 3-0 for the second straight season going into next week’s Pac-12 opener at No. 12 Utah.Collin Schlee ran for a pair of scores and led three TD drives. Ethan Garbers and Chase Griffin had one touchdown series apiece while Justyn Martin also saw action.“I thought Dante did a really good job again,” Kelly said....

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:25:07 GMT

BALTIMORE (AP) — Gunnar Henderson homered and drove in three runs, Grayson Rodriguez pitched eight outstanding innings and the Baltimore Orioles secured a potentially crucial tiebreaker in the AL East with an 8-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night.After losing the first two of this four-game set, the Orioles (92-56) moved a game ahead of second-place Tampa Bay (92-58) and clinched the season series against the Rays. That means if the teams finish tied for first in the division, Baltimore would win.Rodriguez (6-4) has been sharp since returning from the minors in mid-July, looking like the highly touted prospect he was at the beginning of the season. He allowed five hits in a career-high eight innings, striking out seven without a walk.Tyler Glasnow (9-6) yielded six runs and eight hits in four innings. It was his shortest outing of the season and the second time in three starts against the Orioles he failed to complete five innings.Henderson set the tone right away. T...
