Cal started the day strong, defeating USD's second side 47-0. The Bears scored seven tries, with Tomas Tort and Quinn Spieker each contributing two. James Curtis went 5-for-5 on conversion kicks.
Cal then faced San Diego State, defeating the Aztecs 41-0. Oliver Teague led the Bears with a hat trick, while Nate Comiskey added three successful conversions.
