Michael Sturdivant, front left, is brought down by Colorado linebacker Robert Barnes, back left, and cornerback Kaylin Moore after a reception in the first half of an NCAA college football game in Folsom Field, Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022, in Boulder, Colo. Cal’s season took a dramatic turn in the wrong direction on Saturday after a 20-13 overtime loss at Colorado.
The Bears finished with just 35 net rushing yards against the country’s statistically worst run defense. Cal was 5 for 17 on third downs and Jack Plummer was forced to throw 52 passes just to keep the Bears close. Cal got the ball needing a touchdown, but Plummer’s fourth-and-goal pass from the 11 to tight end Keleki Latu was broken up, giving Colorado the victory.
With less than a minute remaining, Plummer threw incomplete on the next two plays before he was sacked on a blitz by Nikko Reed for a 9-yard loss to the 16 with 2 seconds left.Colorado used a 14-play, 69-yard drive to set up Cole Becker’s 24-yard field goal that made it 13-10 with 4:30 left. The drive took nearly 6 minutes off the clock.
