Lynch finished with three Mendocino goes 0-for-4 in red zone in second half after rallying from 18-0 deficit touchdowns for the Bears (4- 1, 2-0 Pac-10), running 15 yards for another score. Longshore’s 39-yard TD pass to Lavelle Hawkins gave Cal the early lead. Before the first quarter was over, Longshore found DeSean Jackson with a 27-yard scor- ing pass and Lynch’s TD run made it 21-0. Lynch had his second touchdown reception of the season, a 27-yard pass from Longshore, midway through the second quarter. Tom Schneider kicked a 37-yard field goal to make it 31-0, before Alexis Serna, last season’s Lou Groza award winner for the nation’s top kicker, hit a 58-yarder to make it 31-3 at the half.
