Clemson isn't as bullet proof as they were in years past. I can see y'all sneaking this one out with a clean day from JKS

You know it's a good dynasty save when Dabo Swinney is struggling like that.

Was definitely a tough one! Very surprised to see Clemson struggle so badly early on, so time to take advantage of that like you guys said!

WEEK 4, 2026
CLEMSON (0-3, 0-1) @ CALIFORNIA (3-0, 1-0)
9/25/26 • 10 PM • 72° • 0% Chance of Precipitation
California Memorial Stadium • Berkeley, CA

BERKELEY, CA • After surrendering 17 first-half points to Clemson, the Golden Bears responded with one of their most complete performances of the young season, shutting out the Tigers over the final 30 minutes on their way to a convincing 30-17 victory at California Memorial Stadium.

The win moves Cal to 4-0, continuing the impressive start under the Bears' new coaching staff.

Quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele continued his emergence as one of the ACC's most efficient passers, despite playing banged up, earning Player of the Game honors after completing 69% of his passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns without committing a turnover. While the offense wasn't as explosive as it had been the previous two weeks, Sagapolutele consistently made winning plays, connecting with Dorian Thomas and Ian Strong for second-quarter touchdown passes that helped Cal erase an early deficit.

The turning point came midway through the second quarter.

With Cal leading just 10-3, cornerback Daniel Harris jumped a Clemson pass and returned the interception 30 yards for a touchdown, igniting the home crowd and swinging momentum squarely toward the Golden Bears. Clemson answered with a pair of touchdowns before halftime to trim the lead to 24-17, but it would be the Tigers' final points of the afternoon.

From there, Cal's defense completely took over.

Despite Clemson finishing with 344 total yards, the Bears tightened inside the red zone, forcing the Tigers into just 1-for-3 scoring opportunities while creating two interceptions and holding Clemson scoreless throughout the second half. Cal controlled possession for over 32 minutes, methodically bleeding the clock and limiting opportunities for the Tigers to mount a comeback.

While Cal's defense delivered another winning performance, the celebration was tempered by devastating news after the game.

Starting safety Aiden Manutai suffered a torn pectoral and will miss the remainder of the season, dealing a significant blow to one of the Bears' defensive leaders. Through four games, Manutai had been a stabilizing presence in the secondary and a key piece of Cal's aggressive defensive identity. Replacing his production and leadership will be one of the biggest challenges facing the coaching staff moving forward.

With a perfect 4-0 record entering the heart of conference play, California is beginning to look like one of the ACC's early surprises, and opponents are quickly learning that this rebuilt Golden Bear program is no longer just competitive.

It's becoming dangerous.
