SAN DIEGO -- Peter Holt kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired, lifting
San Diego State to a 22-20 win over California on Saturday night, ending a
17-game winless streak against Pacific-10 Conference schools.

San Diego State (2-0) of the Western Athletic Conference had been 0-16-1
against Pac-10 teams since beating Stanford in 1985.

This was the season opener for Cal, which beat San Diego State 45-25 at
Berkeley last year.

California had gone ahead 20-19 when Dave Barr, whose pass was intercepted on
the previous drive at the Golden Bears 8, threw a 10-yard scoring pass to
tight end Marc Vera with 5:04 to play. The conversion pass to Tyrone Edwards
was incomplete.

The Golden Bears could have padded the lead, but Ryan Longwell was wide left
on a 34-yard field goal attempt with 3:22 left, and the Aztecs started their
winning drive from the 20.

The biggest play of the drive, a 27-yard pass from Tim Gutierrez to Marc
Ziegler, moved the Aztecs to the Cal 18. After two running plays gained 4
yards, Holt connected.

Gutierrez was 25-of-43 for 314 yards and two touchdowns, with one
interception. Barr was 21-for-34 for 242 yards, also with two touchdowns and
one interception.

The Aztecs, outgained 84 yards to 2 in the first quarter, dominated in the
third quarter as the defense held Cal on three straight drives.

Holt kicked field goals of 22 and 21 yards, and Gutierrez threw a 65-yard
touchdown pass to Will Blackwell with 2:26 left in the quarter for a 19-14
lead.

The long touchdown pass capped an 82-yard, four-play drive that took only 46
seconds. On second-and-10 from the San Diego State 35, Blackwell outjumped
cornerback Artis Houston for Gutierrez's pass at the Cal 40 and raced into
the end zone. A conversion pass from Gutierrez to Curtis Shearer failed.

Cal led 14-7 at halftime.

Cal's Ryan Longwell kicked a 42-yard field goal for the only scoring in the
first quarter.

San Diego State got a quick change of luck to take the lead early in the
second quarter.

With Gutierrez in the shotgun formation on third-and-13 from the Cal 44, the
ball was snapped over his head for a 23-yard loss. Matt Clizbe fumbled the
ensuing punt, with San Diego State's Eric Sutton recovering at the Cal 19.

Five plays later, Gutierrez hit sophomore running back Ken Overby with a
2-yard touchdown pass for a 7-3 lead, 1:36 into the second quarter.

Cal then scored on successive drives.

Barr hit Na'il Benjamin for 38 yards on an inside screen pass, setting up
Langwell's 43-yard field goal with 10:37 left.

Barr capped a 70-yard, eight-play drive with an 8-yard pass to Iheanyi
Uwaezuoke with 5:59 left, then threw a conversion pass to tailback Tyrone
Edwards.
