(4:05 Q3 – California: 19, Oregon: 42) Thomas has been loaded onto the cart. His teammates are huddled around him as he exits the field on a stretcher. It’s a very grim and quiet scene at Auzten Stadium right now.

(11:31 Q3 – California: 19, Oregon: 35) Oregon’s first drive of the half results in a punt. A big opportunity for Cal to claw its way back into the game is upcoming. A 64-yard punt pins the Golden Bears back on their own 3-yard line.
