With thousands of Cal fans roaring in Phoenix, Arizona, the California Golden Bears were victorious over the Virginia Tech Hokies in a wild 1000+ yard offensive shootout.

Down early 21-7, Cal came back to score 6 consecutive touchdowns, and Aaron Rodgers put on an aerial show. Rodgers threw for a career high 394 yards on 27-35 passing and scored 4 TDs, 2 passing and 2 running. It was his 5th 300+ yard game this season, tying a school record.

Both teams led by as many as 14, but fierce rallies from each side led to a 49-49 tie, resulting in Tyler Fredrickson hitting the game winning 35-yard field goal as time expired.

The combined score of 101 is a new record for the 15-year-old Insight Bowl.Email This Post!
