For the second consecutive year, Cal has come up short in a bowl game.
The Bears’ offense struggled throughout most of Wednesday’s game as Cal fell to No. 24 UNLV 24-13 in the LA Bowl at Sofi Stadium.
Cal was without starting quarterback Fernando Mendoza after he announced last week that he was entering the transfer portal.
The Bears went with third-string QB CJ Harris, but he left the game in the third quarter with an injury, prompting true freshman EJ Caminong to finish the game.
