Bowers threw for 363 yards and four touchdowns, while Cal rallied from an early deficit during a game-changing sequence and beat North Carolina 35-30 in Saturday’s opener. Bowers, a sophomore, had never thrown a pass in a college game and had to win a preseason battle for the starting job. But he shook off two interceptions and came up with several good throws to help Cal win its first East Coast day game since 2012. The offence still put up strong numbers on the strength of several huge gains, while the defence never let a young UNC offence build any sustained momentum. The Tar Heels host No.
