BERKELEY — As expected, UCLA v. Cal evolved into a shootout. Unfortunately for the Bruins, they aimed most of their ammo at their own foot.
But fortunately for UCLA, Cal took one shot too many.
Redshirt sophomore cornerback Marcus Rios intercepted a deep pass by Cal quarterback Jared Goff on the Bears’ final drive to preserve a 36-34 UCLA victory over Cal.
The win gave UCLA (5-2, 2-2 Pac-12) its first win at Cal (4-3, 2-3) in 16 years.
