Independence Bowl: California Golden Bears vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders | Full Game Highlights 

This from a old 1971 Tech grad retired in East Texas. Happy we got to go see the game. Pretty cold, but when your winning it feels pretty good. Might be the last time I see Tech in person. Guns up!

As a T-sipper, it does my heart good to see Tech bounce back from the beating they took in Austin and show that they are a good team with a lot to look forward to next year.

CONGRATULATIONS TEXAS TECH RED RAIDER FOOTBALL 🎊 🎉

Awesome win Tech! That's 1 for the Big 12!!!

Outside of the weird first fumble by Tech, Texas Tech completely and physically dominated Cal in eery facet of the game. Blew out those bears

I wonder if Mendoza's injury got to him. You could see his frustration on the sidelines!

Red Raiders got a dawg in #8. Future 1-2 round pick if they focus on getting him the ball next year. That is a true freshman that has amazing ball skills.

Nice win Red Raiders. Can’t wait to see what they do next season. Hope Morton can stay healthy all year.

When the sniper took out their kicker on the opening kickoff, Cal knew it wasn't going to be their day.

The kicker slips and falls on the opening kickoff. Five seconds later, he’s recovering a fumble setting up his teams touchdown. You can’t make this stuff up. College football is a unique animal at all levels.

Let’s go Texas Tech!!!🏈🏈🏈

Great game by Tech. It's so funny how Cal students and athletes thinks they are so much better than everyone else but always gets clowned on the football field! 😂😂😂

Cal 0-2 all time vs Texas Tech in bowl games

Good game Texas Tech.👍

Техас молодцы хорошо сыграли...не дали калифорнийцам разгулятся..!

Heck yea big 12 kicks off bowl season with a win.

I feel bad for Cal. Their first year of being bowl eligible in years, and in the conference’s last year of existence, and they lose it

Remember when Cal and USC didn’t want Tech and others in their conference for various reasons? Pretty bad they let a mediocre Big 12 defense look so good. Have fun traveling across the country to play your conference games for now on.

youtube is getting crazier with its commercial length and the amount in each video..too bad the premium wasnt cheaper

That QB for Univ. of California looks like he could be a prime player for the Detroit Lions. Heard the Lions are in desperate need.

Did Mendoza know what team he was on??

Cal was hyped in that first quarter

SMH! Didn't know bowl games already started.

Great win over a big time ACC opponent.

I just keep watching it 🎉

I hate that the PAC-12 is going away. But man, I will also miss the easy win that is Cal in just about any sport. I'm not sure Cal even knows they have an athletic department.

Dang! #15 on Cal is a turnover machine. I lost count. Hope Washington is just as generous in the Sugar Bowl.

Which players ball was down ball to Texas tech or cal Iand I don't know close look again

Mendoza should’ve went to Yale…..

I love college football. I've gone to a bowl game, a Rose Bowl in about 1970. The stands were packed. The game meant something. The current state of affairs is dismal. The stands are mostly empty for these games now. Key players sit out the games for fear injury and harm their NFL draft level. These early bowl games are treated as a reward for the schools and players (those who choose to play in them) for winning 6 games during the regular season. I don't know the stats, but the TV ratings must be dismal, with nobody but fervent fans, students, and alumni of the schools involved bothering to watch them. Cable TV is truly starving for any sort of content. Hopefully, the 12-team playoff format will be the last straw for the bowl game custom. Nice win for the Red Raiders.

Congrats Tech!

Good game

That was ruff to watch . I’m.a cal fan ugh .

Man Cal is horrible! Will they ever be good again? Herbstreit has them ranked #9 next season as usual 😂

Announcer: "I dont know why Mendoza only had one scholarship offer." Mendoza procedes to continually turn the ball over 😂

Cal's QB makes Zach Wilson NFL' MVP contender...

Did the announcer just say: Ballz out. 🤣

The Barely Eligible Bowls. I love these games!! Seriously. They're better than the professional social justice league.

GREAT GAME BOTH TEAMS THE TTU PLAYED GREAT 34-14PTS GOOD OFFENSE 100+YDS PASSING 50YDS RUSHING 100+YDS RECEIVING GREAT SPECIAL TEAMS GOOD JOB TTU DEFENSE PLAYED PHENOMINAL 1+INTERCEPTIONS 2+SACKS 1FFUMBLE GREAT DEFENSE AN THE CAL BEARS DIDNT PLAY TO GOOD FOR THIS TO BE THE LAST YEAR IN THEIR CONFERENCEAYBE ALOT WAS GOING THREW THEIR HEAD AND TTU IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION GOOD JOB CAL FOR STILL SHOWING UP AND STILL PUTTING UP 14PTS AND SHOWING HEART GREAT JOB BOTH TEAMS

The independence bowl goes through Lubbock 😂😂😂😂😂

The whole game in 13 minutes? And that includes numerous re plays. What a funny sport.

Remember when bowl games mattered?

@11:15 😂 I’m weak man .

Guns 💪 Up

Why is the Independence Bowl in the second week of December? Isn’t it supposed to be on New Years Eve?

I was there didn’t stay too long it was soo cold 😂💯

Not a Cal guy. Just lived in the Detroit burbs for awhile.

How does ESPN constantly get plays out of sequence in their highlights?

Mendoza what are you doing? hahahahaha

“Wreckum” Thumbs up Guns up, Go Red Raiders! Lubbock Texas has 2 native sons, Buddy Holly and the Red Raiders. Luv um…

I remember when Patrick Mahomes played for Texas Tech

Is that the best quarterback cal can put on the field?!

Some of the commenters in here must be young. 20 years ago both these teams were in the top 10 and sending big name guys to the league. I remember Cal giving USC a run for a few years. Definitely don't see that for these schools with all the league changes and NIL.

Wish CFL was still there or NFL would move Saints there.

Mendoza trying to kick the the Texas Tech player after he got the ball stripped.

Cal guy look like he was throwing to the TT players.

I live in Berkeley - no one here likes Cal - go Red Raiders!

For MY GRANDDAUGHTER !!!! B I G WIN CORTNEY !!!! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 GUNS UP !!!

Different umpires give opposite results. One gave a touchdown when it wasn't and the other took a touch down away because he could. Makes me wonder how much was paid!!!

Cal did as good as they could do with their players. When you have a school with those academic standards it’s almost like getting an ivy league school to compete. Cal and Stanford will never get to where they were

How did Aiken's catch at 2:10 declared a touch down when he never stepped 1 foot in bounds as college football rules state but at 2:28 when Sean Brazille"s catch was called short of the goal line?

Cal QB is horrible 😂

I think we can safely assume that Mendoza's football career is pretty much over.

Hello

T tech wants Bama Cuh

Cal isn't a football school like Michigan,Ohio,USC,Oregon,Alabama, they have to recruit just like every other non football school do.

how was 9:12 not a facemask penalty?

some real bonehead throws by Mendoza

Pathetic performance by Cal

Ys looks clear Cal QB is done for football good n good bye! Should never have been QB!

Radiance Technologies is a defense contractor. Thank your tax dollars that gave them profit for being a bowl game sponsor.

Love a Red state beating a blue state…

Win 6 games got to a championship game 😂😂😂😂😂smfh.

the era of, "everyone gets a bowl game". The battle of mediocrity. Having said that, glad TX beat Cali...

Cal started like they were a Mike Leach team and as the game went on, they still looked like a Mike Leach team - hot at first, fizzling out and losing. Tech looked so much better than their 57-7 loser selves, so much better than just squeaking past losers like UCF, and much more like the world-beaters they were when they blasted all-powerful Tarleton High.

👆👆👆👆👆👆

6-1 day in Bowl Mania An excellent start Only loss so far was that rigged Ohio-Georgia State game. Had I known that Ohio's entire team entered the portal and the game was still a pick 'em, I would have taken Ohio because it was a clear betting trap. My fault for not doing my due diligence with research The refs made sure Georgia State wasn't going to have a chance.

32 team playoffs, 16 game schedule, ni more high school schedules, and no playing small blow out game schools. Better competition better for the fans and the players that want to win a championship and the sport.

Someone please email the Communists At Large coach that 6 +2 = 8. Basic math...

Wow nothin like watching two .500 teams play mediocre football

This was for certificate of participation. So pathetic teams wining and celebrating an average season.

2 6-6 teams in a bowl game? Mediocrity and money are alive and well, it seems.

Both teams suck never heard of this bowl but national championship bowl lol

both suck

Typical showing by a PAC2 team when they play outside the softest conference in the country!

Wish CFL was still there or NFL would move Saints there.
