The Golden Bears' 9-1 start has caught the attention of several of the top recruits in the Golden State and on Thursday, Cal picked up its biggest commit yet of the 2017 recruiting class when Los Angeles (Calif.) four-star athlete Vince Berg made the call.

"The coaches have been talking about how they are losing quite a few guys and the see me coming in and starting," Berg told TheBearsDen.com.

Berg is rated 93 overall and four stars by the 247Composite and chose Cal over offers from USC, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA and others. He's ranked the No. 38 athlete in the nation and can play both offense and defense.

Last season he caught 32 passes for 592 yards and eight touchdowns and on defense he registered 64 tackles and seven sacks, forced three fumbled, had an interception and blocked two kicks.

"Coaches like how I'm versatile, they said they could see me at safety, linebacker or if I put on some weight I could even move to defensive end," Berg said.

HOUSTON - As Charlie Moore's 3-pointer fell through the net with one second left, it finally sunk in for the Houston Cougars that they had let the game slip away. The shot pushed Cal ahead for a 58-55 win.


Charlie Moore did not disappoint in his NCAA debut.

The Golden Bears started the game off on a 12-5 run but the Cougars offense got into gear and scored six straight points to cut the lead to 12-11. The tides would continue to turn as a 24-23 Houston lead turned into a 37-25 halftime lead.

After the half, instead of managing the game, Houston took careless shots and gave the Golden Bears a chance to nickel and dime their way back into the game.

True freshman Charlie Moore led the way with 18 points and three assists in his NCAA debut. Moore was 6-of-7 from the field and 4-of-5 from 3-point range for Cal.

Jabari Bird added 11 points and three rebounds for the Golden Bears and Jordan Mathews added 10 points and two rebounds, while Kameron Rooks pulled down 15 boards and Ivan Rabb grabbed 10.


Jabari Bird slams down a dunk in the first half.

Egi Gjikondi led the Cougars with 12 points and five rebounds and Devonta Pollard grabbed 12 boards for Houston.

Cal cut the Houston lead to 50-43 with 6:03 to go as time was not working in the Golden Bears' favor, but they continued to chip away and trailed 52-48 with 3:23 left in the game.

A Moore three pointer pulled the Golden Bears within one, 52-51, with 2:49 to go. Moments later Moore would find Bird on an assisted layup to take the lead 53-52 with 2:28 remaining.

Houston regained the lead on a 3-pointer, but Moore quickly evened it up 55-55 with a layup of his own.

Both teams struggled to break the tie for the final two minutes of play until Cal (1-0) got the ball with 26 seconds left. Moore held the ball for the final shot, from NBA range, to put Houston (0-1) away 58-55 in front of their home crowd.

BERKELEY - Davis Webb didn't have the best game of his career, but he put a last-minute drive together and ran in the go-ahead touchdown himself to put the Golden Bears ahead with nine seconds to go and keep their BCS hopes alive with a 28-24 win over Arizona.


Webb scored from seven yards out to take the lead with nine seconds left.

Arizona gave No. 14 Cal fits all game long as the two schools slowly exchanged scores in a back-and-forth defensive battle. With 3:55 to go in the forth, Brandon Dawkins found Nate Phillips from 10 yards out to take a 24-21 lead over Cal.

Phillips led the Wildcats with seven catches for 81 yards and one touchdown and Dawkins finished the day 19 of 33 for 228 yards and three touchdowns to just one interception for Arizona, but it was Webb who had the final say for Cal.


The Bears survived again in front of a sold-out crowd.

Webb put together a drive that took three minutes and 46 seconds and ran it in himself from seven yards out for the win with nine seconds to go.

Webb completed 29 of 42 passes for 301 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Once again, his go-to target was freshman wide receiver Carlos Strickland who hauled in 10 catches for 127 yards and one touchdown.


Strickland led all receivers with 10 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown.
With the loss, Arizona (3-6, 1-6) has to win out to become bowl eligible while Cal (9-1, 6-1) is playing for a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game and still has hopes of playing in a major bowl game.

SEATTLE - No. 15 Cal gave No. 24 Washington plenty of opportunities to pull the upset, but the Huskies let the Bears hang around and survive in overtime 34-27.

The Washington defense intercepted Cal quarterback Davis Webb four times as the Huskies got off to an early 14-0 lead before going into halftime up 14-7.


The Huskies defense intercepted Webb four times.

Webb's woes continued after the half and Washington took a 24-14 lead into the fourth quarter. Washington shot itself in the foot when the offense fumbled and Cedric Dozier returned it 57 yards for a Golden Bear touchdown to cut the lead to 21-24.

Cal's defense stood tall and got the ball back for the offense, which fought down to the goal line and couldn't punch it in, so a Noah Beito chip shot forced overtime.


Carlos Strickland hauled in the go-ahead touchdown in the second overtime.

The first overtime resulted in field goals for both teams and in the second overtime Webb found Carlos Strickland on a 6-yard strike for the Bears (8-1, 5-1) to go up 34-27. Washington (5-4, 2-4) couldn't match with a score of their own as the Cal defense forced Jake Browning to throw it away on 4th-and-1 to suffer a heart-breaking loss.

CORVALLIS - Davis Webb had a record-breaking performance as No. 16 Cal rebounded from last week's loss with a 47-13 romping of Oregon State in Corvallis.


Webb broke NFL Draft No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff's record for passing yards in a game.

Webb completed 43 of 57 passes for a school record 569 yards and six touchdowns. He was picked off three times but eclipsed the 600-mark for total yards by adding 11 carries for 49 yards on the ground.

It was all Cal from beginning to end as six Golden Bear receivers eclipsed the 74-yard mark, with four passing the 90-yard mark and two going for over 111 yards each.


Kanawai Noa had another big day with 11 catches, 121 yards and a score.

Kanawai Noa led all receivers with 11 catches for 121 yards and one touchdown. Raymond Hudson scored twice on seven catches for 111 yards and Khalfani Muhammad also had two touchdowns on six catches for 74 yards and added 71 more on the ground on 10 carries.

Cal (7-1) built a 21-3 first half lead over Oregon State (3-4) and never let up, continuing to pile on points until the final buzzer.

Despite dropping its first loss of the year to No. 6 UCLA, 33-24, Cal is still sitting at No. 16 in the country, bowl eligible at 6-1 and hot on the recruiting trail.

After Saturday's loss to the Bruins, on Sunday, the coaches got some good news when three more recruits made pledges to the 2017 class, including their top quarterback target, Mark Hall of Augusta (Kan.).

Hall is rated 86 overall and three-star by the 247Composite and had offers from Tulsa, North Texas, Kansas, as well as interest from Penn State.

"The coaches told me I'm their guy for this class and they don't plan on taking another quarterback in this class," Hall told TheBearsDen.com

Hall is 6-foot-1, 196 pounds and has been clocked as low as a 4.59 in the 40-yard dash.

San Jose (Calif.) defensive tackle Jonathan Smith also jumped on board over the weekend.

"Cal's education is top notch and that was a major factor for me," Smith said. "Also, spots are starting to fill up so I went ahead and committed."

The 6-foot-2, 274-pounder is rated 83 overall and three-star by the 247Composite and chose Cal over San Jose State, San Diego State and Nevada. UCLA had also recently got into the mix for the three-star, but had not yet offered.

Last, but not least, Modesto (Calif.) wide receiver Andre Brown committed to Cal over an offer from Colorado and increasing interest from Stanford. Brown is rated 80 overall and three-star by the 247Composite and the No. 128 receiver in the country.

"I like Cal's offense, I feel like I can catch a lot of balls," Brown said.

The Golden Bears will look to take one or two more guards and possibly a running back if they can find the right fit, then the remaining scholarships will be used on defense. They are expected to sign 20 or 21 in this class.

LOS ANGELES - The Golden Bears came into the Rose Bowl ranked No. 15 and riding a six-game winning streak, but the No. 6 UCLA Bruins had something to say about it and handed Cal its first loss of the year, 33-24.


Paul Perkins' late touchdown put the game out of Cal's reach.

Josh Rosen completed 21 of 36 passes for 300 yards and a touchdown and added another score on the ground with 31 yards on 14 carries. However, the player of the game for the Bruins was running back Paul Perkins, who averaged 5.6 yards per carry on 25 carries for 142 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught five passes for 48 yards.

When UCLA pulled ahead in the fourth quarter, Cal fought back within two points and was driving to take the lead until Randall Goforth intercepted Davis Webb in UCLA territory. Rosen led another Bruins (5-0) drive which resulted in a 17-yard touchdown by Perkins with 1:09 left in the game to put it out of reach for the Golden Bears.


Randall Goforth intercepted Davis Webb to stop a potential go-ahead drive for Cal.

Webb completed 24 of 37 passes for 293 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for Cal and Khalfani Muhammad added another 84 yards on 13 carries. Chad Hansen, Kanawai Noa and Vic Wharton III each had 69 yards receiving for the Golden Bears (6-1).

*Apparently pretend Paul Perkins returned for his senior year in this case.

Several of Cal's top targets were in town over the weekend to catch the Golden Bears' 35-21 victory over then-No. 19 Washington State and by the end of the weekend, the Golden Bears' commit list grew by three.

Six-foot-five, 272-pound offensive tackle Michael Seward out of Compton (Calif.) is the highest rated of the new commits and chose the blue and gold over offers from UCLA and Stanford.

"The atmosphere was amazing and I really feel like they are a team that's on the rise," Seward told TheBearsDen.com

At 89 overall and three-stars by the 247Composite, Seward is ranked the No. 23 tackle prospect in the country.

Heath Maxwell, an 82 overall three-star center from Florence-Graham (Calif.) also committed to Cal over interest from USC, UCLA and Washington. At 6-foot-1 and 274 pounds, he is ranked the No. 20 prospect in the country.

"I feel like Cal wants me the most, like they have shown me the most love," Maxwell said. "Honestly, I've been thinking about this for awhile."

San Francisco's (Calif.) two-star tackle, 6-foot-6, 298-pound John Gibson also made a pledge to the blue and gold. He's rated 76 overall and the nation's No. 95 tackle by the 247 Composite.

Gibson chose Cal over Arizona, Boise State and San Diego State.

These additions give Cal a total of four commits for its 2017 recruiting class, all offensive linemen.

BERKELEY - Davis Webb found the end zone five times as the No. 23 Golden Bears knocked off No. 19 Washington State in a heated, physical Pac-12 match-up.


It was a heated, physical battle from the get-go.

Webb finished the day 27 of 41 for 385 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions and punched in another score on the goal line for Cal. Freshman receiver Carlos Strickland was on the receiving end of three of Webb's touchdowns and finished the day with six total catches for 107 yards.

Chad Hansen also eclipsed the 100-yard mark, with five catches for 112 yards and a touchdown. Khalfani Muhammad rushed 23 times for 154 yards and caught seven passes for 37 yards for the Golden Bears.

Gabe Marks hauled in 15 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns for Washington State and River Cracraft added five catches for 86 yards and one score.

After a scoreless first quarter from both teams, the Golden Bears struck first when Webb connected with Strickland for a 24-yard touchdown midway through the second. Moments later Luke Falk led a touchdown drive for the Cougars to take a 7-7 tie into halftime.


Strickland was on the receiving end of three Webb touchdowns.

The halftime speech apparently hit home as Cal came out fired up after the break. A few plays into the third quarter, Strickland hauled in his second touchdown, a 70-yarder, and followed it with a 7-yard score on the next drive.

Falk wasn't going to let the Cougars (3-2) go down easy as he found Gabe Marks for touchdowns in both the third and fourth quarters to cut the lead to seven, 28-21, with 3:05 to go.

However, Webb had one more long touchdown drive in the tank, which resulted in a 60-yard strike to Chad Hansen to make it a two-score game, 35-21, and hang on to the win for Cal (6-0).

Defeating Oregon for their fifth consecutive win wasn't the only good thing that happened for Cal over the weekend. Following the game, the Golden Bears also picked up their first commitment for the 2017 class when Vista (Calif.) offensive tackle Wayne Butler pulled the trigger.

"I'm 100 percent committed to Cal," Butler told TheBearsDen.com. "They're really building something special out here and I'm excited to be a part of it."

Butler is rated the No. 24 offensive tackle in the country by the 247Composite, at 89 overall and three-stars, and can play either spot for the Golden Bears. The 6-foot-5, 327-pounder chose Cal over an offer from Washington.

"I like their style of offense, I feel like it fits me well," Butler said.

Butler has a 3.8 GPA and was named second-team all-state as a junior.

BERKELEY - Davis Webb tossed five touchdown passes to boost Cal to a 35-28 home win against Oregon on Saturday as the Golden Bears are off to a 5-0 start on the season for the second consecutive year.

After only eight total yards of offense in the first quarter, Webb got going in the second quarter tossing two jump-ball touchdowns to Carlos Strickland, then finding a wide open Vic Wharton just before halftime to take a 21-7 lead into the locker room.


Webb threw for 332 yards and five touchdowns.

Royce Freeman busted a 44-yard run for the Ducks just after halftime to make it a game again, but Webb still had the hot hand connecting with Wharton on a 28-yard touchdown strike then Kanawai Noa on an 11-yard strike to end the third quarter up 35-14.

The Ducks finally got going in the fourth as Freeman found the end zone again and Vernon Adams Jr. connected with Dwayne Stanford for a second fourth-quarter touchdown, but there simply wasn't enough time left for Oregon.


Wharton had over 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns.

Webb finished the day 30 of 46 for 332 yards and five touchdowns to just one interception and Khalfani Muhammad added 71 yards on the ground on 12 carries for the Bears.

Wharton led the receiving corps with six catches for 106 yards and two scores, but Noa also caught seven passes for 81 yards and Hansen pulled in seven for 71 yards. Strickland finished with five catches, 49 yards and two touchdowns.

Oregon (2-3) dropped its third consecutive game against a ranked team and Cal won its fifth straight (5-0).
