Golden Bears Enjoy Their Holiday

Not a bad gig. A night after taking in the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco, the folks at Image of Sport jet down to San Diego for Thursday night's Holiday Bowl. Where do we apply? ... As usual, there were plenty of fireworks at Qualcomm Stadium (top), especially when California's punishing running back Marshawn Lynch (above) carried the load. He finished with 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the Golden Bears' 45-10 victory over Texas A&M, the Pacific 10's first win of the postseason. ...
... Coach Jeff Tedford and his staff were more than happy to help the officials signal touchdown. Aggie quarterback Stephen McGee, who absorbed some nasty hits, completed 17 of 26 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown. Coach Dennis Franchione, who was on the hot seat entering the season, watched his Aggies fall to 9-4. ...
... California receiver DeSean Jackson had five catches for 81 yards, and Texas A&M receiver Earvin Taylor gets crunched by Syd'Quan Thompson after a nine-yard reception. Golden Bear quarterback Nate Longshore, taking a snap from Alex Mack, was sharp, completing 19 of 24 passes for 235 yards and a touchdown.
