Domers Prevail In Berkeley

#38 Notre Dame – 23
#27 California – 7

BERKELEY, Calif. -- As seen on NBC, your exclusive home of the gold-helmeted, incomparably self-righteous Fighting Irish, Notre Dame marched into Berkeley and defeated the Golden Bears 23-7. The Irish forced three turnovers, including a pivotal interception return for touchdown by junior CB Gary Gray as the first half expired. In its finale to a disappointing season, Cal found itself unable to overcome several crippling penalties, one of which wiped away a touchdown, and another of which nullified an interception en route to the upset loss. Notre Dame will face the winner of Cincinnati and Air Force in the second round.
