Enormous PLAYS
Cal scored on a 84-yard gathering, the longest pass in Big Game history, and added TD runs of 76 and 75 yards, the longest-running plays for Cal in nine years.
Stanford's breakdowns were a blend of being out of position and missing handles.
The opening TD was regular. Security Jonathan McGill, playing his first round of the period, should remain within Trevon Clark, who was running an inclination. However, Clark had inside position and afterward loosened up from McGill's jumping tackle endeavor. The subsequent score bested the past long pass in the competition, a 82-yarder from Stanford's Brian Johnson to Walter Batson in 1987.
"At the point when one person is out of position, it can bring about a score. So one is on me," McGill said. "Got to utilize my influence, remain reliable, go about my business, and afterward that wouldn't occur."
Stanford's surge protection, which came in positioned 127th out of 130 FBS groups in yards permitted, surrendered 352 yards on 34 endeavors. McGill said there were excesses of endeavored arm handles, what doesn't cut it against Pac-12 rivalry.
Cal's 646 yards broke the past record of 603 yards set by Stanford in 2013. Cal's past best was 560 yards in 1993.
"Lost a few times. Quarterback got two or multiple times. Sprinters got two or multiple times," Shaw said. "And afterward regular, you know, one people misses a tackle, then, at that point, they're getting a move on."
Objective LINE FAILURES
Stanford pulled out all the stops twice on fourth-and-objective when the game was scoreless. On fourth-and-objective from right inside the 3, McKee attempted a QB sneak that was halted at the 1. What's more, on fourth-and-objective from the 5, McKee's blur pass to Benjamin Yurosek cruised out of the end zone.
"There's been no mysterious what we've done around here for going on 15 years, we will make a few efforts with our enormous folks outside and we attempt to run the ball," Shaw said.
Shaw said that the QB sneak was an awful play call, while the missed pass was helpless execution.
"Thinking back, likely excessively forceful. Put it all on the line on fourth down realizing they were a decent football crew, realizing they planned to return. Gotten an opportunity to go up 14-0 and didn't get both of those. … Took our shot. Didn't do alright. Too forceful on my part."
NO IMAGINATION
With no running match-up to discuss—Stanford had 26 endeavors for 43 yards, with a long of eight yards—Cal had the option to contain the Cardinal's one-dimensional offense. Stanford's playcalling didn't help.
In spite of being up by something like two scores the whole second half, Cal actually utilized confusion, calling a twofold pass, a converse and a snare and-parallel. In any case, the most amazing play Stanford attempted was the fourth down QB sneak from very nearly three yards out.

Stanford drop-kicked from the Cal 41 down 20-3 with two minutes left in the second from last quarter. Cal scored on the 76-yard run two plays later to transform the contention game into a defeat.
