Webb was nails before exiting the game with a minor back injury.
Webb hadn't missed a receiver yet, when he left the game 10-of-10 for 112 yards and a touchdown. He was injured, when he tucked the ball and went upfield for extra yardage when no receivers were opened and fumbled the ball away at the point of contact.
However, Bowers stepped in for the injured Webb and completed an astounding 19 of 23 passes for 281 yards, two touchdowns and just one interception as the two Cal quarterbacks completed a combined 88 percent of their passes.
Khalfani Muhammad and Bowers combined for 130 yards on the ground on 20 carries and four Golden Bear receivers - including Khalfani - passed the 70-yard mark on the day.
Hansen's 49-yard touchdown silenced the crowd at Sun Devil Stadium.
Both teams exchanged scores for the entire first half as the Sun Devils went into halftime up 21-17. The Golden Bears (4-0) quickly gained the lead in the third quarter, but Arizona State wasn't going to let it slip away easy.
Zane Gonzalez hit a 41-yard field goal in the fourth for the Sun Devils (1-1) to tie the game 24-24, but Bowers would find Chad Hansen on a 49-yard strike for the go-ahead score to start conference play off with a win.

Davis Webb had the hot hand early on for Cal, completing 11 of 15 passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game in the second quarter with a minor ankle injury.
Webb was replaced by sophomore Chase Forrest, who didn't let up on the Bear Raid assault. Forrest completed 14 of 23 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns of his own and was intercepted twice.
The crowd came alive early when Forrest found Kanawai Noa on an 87-yard touchdown strike, which Khalfani Muhammad followed with a touchdown run minutes later to lead 28-10. A Longhorn field goal closed out the first half 28-13.
Noa is a big reason Cal is now sitting at 2-0.
Forrest found Muhammad again to open up the third quarter on a 23-yard touchdown strike. At that point, Texas decided it had had enough as Shane Buechele led the Longhorns offense on three consecutive touchdown drives to pull within three, 35-32, with 1:20 left in the game.
Two plays later, Muhammad busted open a 40-yard touchdown run on a sweep to secure the win.
Muhammad's 40-yard touchdown sealed the deal for the Golden Bears.

The Warriors jumped out to a 21-7 lead early in the second quarter, but Texas Tech quarterback transfer Davis Webb led the charge for Cal and brought his team back within three at halftime, 21-18.
Webb made his first start since transferring to Cal.
Webb completed 31 of 54 passes for 392 yards and three touchdowns in his Golden Bear debut and also rushed 15 times for 65 yards two more scores on the ground, including the game-winner on a quarterback dive in the third overtime.
Khalfani Muhummad added 77 rushing yards and a touchdown on 15 carries for Cal and caught seven passes for 74 more.
Webb found Hansen with 10 seconds left in regulation to force overtime.
Kanawai Noa was a force, leading all receivers with 104 yards on nine catches and added 44 rushing yards on four carries, but it was Chad Hansen who came up big with two touchdowns on five catches for 95 yards.
Noa returned a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter to put the Golden Bears out in front 25-21, but Hawai'i wouldn't go away easy, scoring twice in the fourth quarter to take a 42-35 lead with 1:03 to go.
Webb displayed his senior leadership and led Cal down the field and found Chad Hansen on an 11-yard strike with 10 seconds left to force overtime, where Cal (1-0) would eventually outlast Hawai'i (0-1).

Schedules were designed to be as close to possible as Cal’s real 2016-17 schedule, but in some cases, dates and opponents have changed.
Fighting for the Blue and Gold
a Cal Athletic Director Mode Dynasty
Let’s try this again. I'm starting an athletic director mode dynasty. How it works:
I will play football games on NCAA Football 14 (PS3), basketball games on College Hoops 2k8 (PS3) and baseball games on MVP 07 NCAA Baseball (PS2) all with Cal. Seasons will overlap as they do in real life so we’ll follow a comprehensive yearly calendar.
I had one of these going with Navy, called “Making History” in Spring of 2014 and after being inactive for more than a year, I decided to give it another go with a different program that interests me more so I tried to get one going with Texas Tech, then life got in the way. This time around, I decided I already know enough about Texas Tech, so I decided to use this as an opportunity to learn about another program.
Choosing a team literally took hours as I researched past successes in football, basketball and baseball. I didn’t want to pick a team that was too dominant in any sport and I ended up with a Top 5 of Minnesota, Indiana, Northwestern, Washington State and Cal. I was fascinated to learn that Northwestern has never made the NCAA tournament in basketball and their baseball team hasn’t been that great either. With plenty of room to build a good program, combined with their academic prestige, I really wanted to give it a shot, but I just couldn’t do the purple, nor the awkward stripe across the middle of their jersey on NCAA Football ’14. After consulting with a trusted friend, I ended up picking Cal.
The purpose of this is more for the storyline aspect and not to destroy every opponent in every sport in every game. In football I could probably go undefeated for 75 seasons straight but that’s not the purpose of this, so I will be tweaking playbooks, sliders and self-made rules as much as possible to keep it as realistic as possible, for as long as possible. Jumping from sport to sport, following the comprehensive schedule makes it interesting because I’m essentially re-figuring out a new game when basketball starts at the peak time of football season and again, once I get in the flow of playing hoops, it’s time to start baseball. That kind of mixes it up to keep it more interesting and to keep my teams from becoming too dominant due to overplay.
There isn't really any set pacing for this. Sometimes I may be able to crank out several games in a day, sometimes I might not be able to crank out a single game for more than a month. However, the goal is to get through a minimum of one full video game year of all three sports in one year of real time, with two or three seasons being more ideal.
Let me start by giving credit where credit is due and laying the foundation for each sport.
Football:
I'll be using Charter04's Heisman Sliders with 8 minute quarters and sean15012's 2016-17 Roster. Last but not least, conference realignment updating was made easy thanks to Brendan's Conference Realignment Guide.
Recruiting Restrictions and Incentives:
- I can only over-sign by two players in any year, meaning if I have 18 seniors, I can only sign 20 recruits.
- At least 80 percent of my recruiting class must come from California.
- If I win a BCS game, only 60 percent of the following class must come from California.
- Only 10 percent of my recruiting class, rounding up, can be four-stars. (i.e. 14 scholarships = one four-star; 15+ scholarships = two four-stars) and at least ⅓ of my class must be two-star recruits.
- After a 10-win season, 25 percent of my class can be four-star or better and only 10 percent two-star.
- After a conference championship or BCS Bowl, ⅓ of my class can be four-star or better and two-stars are optional.
- Should my team ever win a national championship, then ½ of the class can be four-star or better.
- If my team ever gets too dominant then I'll raise these restrictions and/or switch to coach mode. (Played NCAA for a solid 15-16 years).
Basketball:
-I'll be using AuburnAlumni's All-American sliders - 13 minute halves - and purduefan14's 2014-15 rosters with Cal’s roster updated to what it should be for the 2016-17 season, as of 6-17-16. If the roster isn’t perfect, I’m sorry, I just started following Cal. Finally, conference realignment was made easy thanks to zack4070's Ultimate Conference Realignment for 2014 and Beyond.
Recruiting Restrictions and Incentives
- Recruiting is fairly difficult on here, at least for me, so at this point restrictions take care of themselves and an incentive is actually getting a solid player I’m after. This is subject to change in the future if necessary.
Baseball:
-I’ve only touched this game a few times and still struggle with the default settings, but I will make adjustments as necessary, if it gets too easy. However, I will be doing zone hitting instead of analog and I will be doing classic fielding, instead of analog. Pitching will remain analog.
-I’m unaware of any way to change conferences on here, so unfortunately it’s the old Pac-10 schedule with no Colorado or Utah.
-I can't find any updated rosters for this game, nor do I have an easy way to get that to a PS2 if I could, so I'll just be doing the game-generated names for this one. If there's any serious Cal baseball fans following along, feel free to inbox me some must-have names.
