The Bears would respond in their next series with a long pass to Lavelle Hawkins, but he would trip inside the 5-yard line before reaching the goal. Cal could not capitalize, having to put up a field goal, earning them a four-point deficit 24–20. A stop on the Arizona defense gave the Bears the ball again. Longshore apparently hit Jackson for a 63-yard score with just over two minutes left, but a video review ruled his foot out at the 41-yard line. A few plays later, Longshore's pass was batted and intercepted with less than two minutes to clinch the game for Arizona. The student section wildly rushed the field as Cal was taken out of the national title picture for the season.
