Top 50 Cal Sports Moments -- No. 50: Overtime Elation, 2003

We count down the top 50 moments involving Cal athletics. Only specific acts that occurred while the team or athlete was at Cal were considered, and an accomplishment of a season or a career was not included unless it can be identified in a particular moment.On Saturday, September 27, 2003, as darkness descended on Cal’s Memorial Stadium, Golden Bears place-kicker Tyler Fredrickson kicked a 38-yard field goal in the third overtime to beat No.

Rodgers’ limited second half was less spectacular. USC scored early in the second half to make it 21-14, and Rodgers threw an interception that was returned for a USC touchdown to tie the score midway through the third quarter. That was Rodgers’ last play as he missed the rest of the game because of injuries to his ribs and ankle he had sustained in the first half. He was replaced by Reggie Robertson, who had started the first four games.

USC’s Hershel Dennis fumbled at the 3-yard line on the opening possession of overtime, but Fredrickson’s chip-shot 29-yard field goal to win it was blocked, seemingly ruining Cal’s golden opportunity to pull off the big upset. After Killeen missed a 39-yard field goal to start the third overtime, Fredrickson, who had arrived at Cal as a walk-on, faced another game-deciding kick – this one a from 38 yards -- after having his previous two field-goal attempts blocked.
