I scoured the internet but the algorithms kept directing me to individual yardage or it divided it into passing vs. rushing. I got frustrated and went to sleep. It's strange that nobody is referencing that. I can remember times when Cal went over 500 yards of offense regularly with Spav. in 2016 and with Goff before that. But I don't recall going over 600 yards....ever! And it was actually pretty close to 700 yards.

Anybody know the record books on that and where 669 ranks?

Not enough close to the 760 we ran up on Oregon State in 2015

I've decided that 669 yards is a "triple Musgrave". So from here on out, I will be thinking of Cal offense in 223 yard increments

I didn't know that.
It's still got to be top 20, don't you think?

Crazy that Kenny Lawler had 2 completions for 4 yards in this game.

The others make sense. Modern offenses under early Tedford and Air Raid Dykes. But 670 yards in 1958 . . . 1958?!?!?!?!

Joe Kapp was a stud.

That game where Best ran for like 300+ yards and we could have named our yardage and score -- versus UW -- didn't make it?

We went soft on the pups since they were 0-11 and Ty Willingham had been fired already.

The 60-59 win in 2014 was in regulation, but Wazzu did get 812 yards offense.

Trevor Davis had two kickoff returns for touchdowns, I dont know if they consider that 'offense'.

Thank you.
Top 5 is impressive.
Note that those other games all came during very good seasons that included bowls.
I think this is a very good omen

I was at that game.
That was so much fun.
I think that was the game that convinced Shaw to retire.
Cal absolutely humiliated him after he tried to humiliate us by going for it on 4th and goal and failing twice!!!
Hahahaaaaaaaaa

Shaw's arrogance was shoved in his face that night.
It was soooo sweet. We knocked the smug right off his face and it never came back.
