an opportunity to move to the number one spot. In the first quarter, it was announced to the crowd that LSU had lost, causing a large chant of "We're No. 1! We're No. 1!" from the crowd, especially the alumni who were closer to Cal's offense on the field. On the next play, Cal's offense had a false start that led to a stalled offensive drive. During the game, there were several instances where advertising or cheers would continue on into Cal's offensive drives. According to Oregon State players after the game, Cal's presumed number ranking they were informed of during halftime motivated them in the second half. The defeat ended a 10-game home winning streak. Cal, however, proved it was not immune to the upset bug in a college football season that seemed to feature a new number one and number two team each week, and California fell to the feisty Beavers 31–28. A favorable turnover ratio for California in the first 5 games ended with Cal losing three turnovers to Oregon State's one. Cal doubled its season's fumble total with fumbles by Justin Forsett in the first quarter and a critical special teams fumble by Javhid Best in the fourth quarter that led to a field goal providing the final margin of victory. Cal's defense could not stop Oregon State running back Yvenson Bernard during the second half when he ran for 82 yards including a crucial 4th and goal score. The game featured three 4th and Goal with one yard to go plays. Oregon State converted both its opportunities in this situation while Cal late in the third quarter was stopped. Cal was 1st and 2 yards to goal to go on that drive late in third quarter but running back Justin Forsett was stopped short of the end zone on 4 consecutive plays. The game is best known for its dramatic and (for Cal fans) heartbreaking ending. Cal began the fourth quarter down 20–14, but it took only two plays and a 7-yard run by Justin Forsett for the Bears to take back the lead 21–20. Oregon State responded with a touchdown, a two-point conversion, and a field goal following Best's fumble that stretched the Oregon State lead to 31–20. Cal gained no yards on its next possession and punted and Oregon State ran the clock and punted on its next possession. With 3:15 left on
