Postgame Notes: Stanford 31, California 10

  • Cal and Stanford met in the 128th Big Game on Saturday.
  • Cal had won each of the last four times the Big Game was played, five of the last six and each of the previous three at Stanford Stadium prior to a 31-10 Cardinal victory on Saturday.
  • WR Jacob De Jesus finished with 14 receptions for 96 yards. De Jesus now has 87 receptions through 11 games to rank fourth on Cal's all-time single-season reception list. De Jesus started Saturday's game in seventh place before moving past Bobby Shaw (75), Bryce Treggs (77) and Geoff McArthur (85). De Jesus also had 113 all-purpose yards in the contest and surpassed the career 4,000 mark. He now has 4,078 career all-purpose yards.
