On an early third-quarter possession of Cal, Longshore threw to receiver Robert Jordan for a 44-yard touchdown. After UCLA's failed drive, DeSean Jackson, aided by a devastating block by Thomas DeCoud, returned the ensuing punt 72 yards for a touchdown, putting the Bears up 28–10. It was the fourth punt return for touchdown in Jackson's career, tying a Pac-10 record. Lynch ran in for another touchdown early in the fourth quarter. UCLA hauled in two more touchdowns, including a 70-yard run from Chris Markey, while Cal could only get off a field goal. This propelled the Bears to their eighth straight win over the Bruins, 38–24.
