Grizzell Leads Bears With 86 Receiving Yards
SEATTLE – The Cal football team fell to No. 8 Washington 59-32 on Saturday evening at Husky Stadium.
Wide receiver Trond Grizzell led the Golden Bears (2-2) with 86 receiving yards and a touchdown on four receptions. Quarterback Sam Jackson V went 10-of-14 through the air for 156 yards and a score.
After Washington (4-0) took an early 14-0 lead, the Golden Bears responded with a nine-play, 75-yard drive capped off by a one-handed, highlight catch in the end zone by receiver Jeremiah Hunter from quarterback Ben Finley on 1st-and-goal.
On the Bears' first drive of the second quarter, Finley completed three passes of at least 20 yards, hitting wideout Taj Davis for a 24-yard touchdown. Finley ended the night with 207 yards on 17-of-32 passes, while Davis had 60 receiving yards and tied Hunter with a team-high five receptions.
Running backs Jaydn Ott and Ashton Stredick both found the end zone in the second half for the Bears, combining for 70 yards on the ground.
The Bears will be back in Berkeley for their next game against Arizona State next Saturday at 12 p.m. PT. The game will air on the Pac-12 Network.
