For the record: After a 36-21 victory over Fresno State in San Francisco, California is 1-0 overall (0-0 in the Pac-12).
Streaking: Receivers Keenan Allen (eight catches, 112 yards) and Marvin Jones (five catches, 118 yards) became the first Cal duo to top the century mark since DeSean Jackson and Lavelle Hawkins against Minnesota in 2006.
Who’s hot: In his Cal debut, junior quarterback Zach Maynard passed for 266 yards and two touchdowns against Fresno State. He also rushed for 52 yards on six carries. Maynard, a transfer from Buffalo, is the half-brother of Allen.
Who’s not: We’re being picky here, but Cal was penalized 11 times for 90 yards against Fresno State.
Key stat: Cal entered the season with concerns about its unproven running backs, but junior Isi Sofele rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns against Fresno State.
FYI: The game between now Pac-12 foes Colorado and Cal this weekend likely will confuse many fans because it won’t count as a conference game. It was originally scheduled as a nonleague game — a rematch of last year’s 52-7 Cal win over CU in Berkeley — and after Colorado joined the Pac-12, the teams failed to find suitable replacements.
Injury report: None reported by the Bears.
