Cal continued to shine in its victory over the Ducks. Quarterback Nate Longshore had a touchdown pass early in the first quarter, but the Ducks bounced back with a field goal. Cal then scored three straight touchdowns, two being passes from Longshore, and one being a memorable 65-yard punt return by receiver DeSean Jackson to put the Bears up 28–3. Oregon scored a touchdown before the half ended, leaving Cal with a 28–10 lead. A field goal and another Longshore touchdown into receiver Robert Jordan's hands gave the Bears a 38–10 lead, but the Ducks countered with a touchdown pass as the third quarter ended. Another touchdown score by both teams in the fourth quarter, Cal's coming from tailback Justin Forsett's 23-yard run, gave the Bears an impressive 45–24 victory.
