Jaydn Ott’s 100-yard kickoff return for a TD is tied for the third-longest in Cal history, the sixth-time Cal has had a kickoff return of 100 yards more and the first time since Trevor Davis returned two for a touchdown including one for 100 yards at Washington State in 2014.
Jaydn Ott is the first Cal player to rush for at least 200 yards in a game since Patrick Laird rushed for 214 yards against Oregon State on Nov. 4, 2107
On his 19th run of today's game, Jaydn Ott passed the 2,000-yard mark for career rushing yards. Ott is one of only two Cal player to reach the milestone in his first 22 games with the other J.J. Arrington (2003-04).
Jaydn Ott's kickoff return for a touchdown was Cal's first since Nikko Remigio had a 99-yard return for a score against Sacramento State on Sept. 18, 2021
Jaydn Ott has crossed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the season. He now has 1,001 rushing yards on the season and is the first Cal player to go over 1,000 rushing yards since Patrick Laird rushed for 1,127 yards in 2017.

Brown Jr.'s, 163 rushing yards are the most by a Cal running back in his first start since Justin Forsett rushed for 187 yards against Illinois in 2005
Tyson Alualu had four tackles, two TFL and one quarterback hit in his 100th career start in Pittsburgh's 26-16 win over the New York Giants on Monday, while Devante Downs made his first career start and had his first career fumble recovery while adding one tackle in a loss.

preseason win over Seahawks and starting right tackle Jake Curhan. Jake Tonges and Elijah Hicks scored TD's on a two-yard reception and a recovered fumble in the end zone. Hicks also had five tackles.
Tonight's victory was Cal’s first over USC since a 15-14 decision in Los Angeles in 2018 and first in Berkeley since a 34-31 triple overtime decision in 2003.
Jaydn Ott has now scored at least one touchdown (rushing or receiving) in 11 of his last 12 games. Ott's first touchdown of the game was his 11th of the season. He came into today's contest leading the Pac-12 in rushing touchdowns.
The last time a Cal running back rushed for over 100 yards in his first career start was Jahvid Best in the 2008 season opener against Michigan State (111 yards).
Barrett Miller has become the second player to ever start five times in the Big Game. He started in 2019-22 for Stanford and 2023 for Cal. The only other player to start five times in the Big Game was Cal's Elijah Hicks (2017-21).
There still may be changes before the NFL season-opener this Thursday, Sept. 10, but as of tonight here are the 27 former Cal football student-athletes who finished their playing careers with the Golden Bears who are associated with NFL teams as a player or coach.
Trond Grizzell has a career-high two touchdown receptions. His two TD catches are also the first time in 2023 a Cal player has had more than one in a game and his second TD reception of 54 yards is Cal's longest pass play of the season.
