Portland State/UC-Berkeley

[JALMOND]

Sorry, I'm late. Birthday party for the kid at Chuckie Cheese went overtime.

UC-Berkeley 35,
Portland State 9

4 min. left 2nd

Early Bears INT led to the Vikings scoring the first points (FG) 3-0.
Then Berkeley scored the next 35 points.
PSU just scored on Feringo TD reception-PAT no good.

The bad news is that PSU has playing the 3rd string QB due to injuries to the first 2. Smith is fine to return, but Freeman will probably go the rest of the game due to the score and that the Vikings are playing Weber next week.

PSU just recovered a Bears fumble on the Berkeley 47. Play reviewed and fumble upheld.

That's more like it. It may be too late, but a good showing is needed here. :)

Halftime

Berkeley 42
PSU 16.

PSU down to the third string QB who actually is looking pretty good. Fourth string QB did not make the trip. Smith can come back, but due to the score and that PSU has conference foe Weber State next week, Freeman probably will go the rest of the way.

Berkeley fumble recovery on Berkeley 27 yd line. PSU drive stalls.

PSU was helped on this drive by three (yes three) straight roughing the passer penalties on Berkeley as well as a major roughing the punter penalty. Unfortunately no points.

PSU ball on Berkeley 43 after recovering a fumble.

Announced attendance 56,000. Most ever attendance that has watched the Vikings football team.

So far a whole lot of nothing. Both teams exchanging punts. A lot of reserves in on both teams.

Bench players getting some real time.

Final

Berkeley 42,
PSU 16.

Berkeley TD's include a INT for a touchdown, and the longshot Heisman hopeful tailback had a 78 yd run. Take those away and it is respectable.
Berkeley played like the top 20 I-A team that they are in this game but we never backed down, not even after losing our top two QB's. No scoring by either team in the second half. Roughly the same score as Cal's game last week against Minnesota, for whatever that means. On to Ogden next week!
