Armed Forces Bowl 2015: Full highlights and final score

The California Golden Bears and quarterback Jared Goff rolled to a win over the Air Force Falcons.

The Armed Forces Bowl might have been a blowout, but both the California Golden Bears and Air Force Falcons put on a show. Both teams put up a lot of points on the board and it was a day where defenses were non-existent.

For California quarterback Jared Goff, it was the final game of his collegiate career. Goff is heading off to the NFL Draft, where he will be one of the top quarterbacks taken in the draft, if not the top quarterback off the board.

He put on an impressive showing all day for the Golden Bears. Goff put the ball in the right spot and consistently set up his wide receivers to score touchdowns.

Air Force got the scoring fest started on the day, when Jacobi Owens ran in from a yard out to put Air Force on top. California would answer right back with a rushing touchdown of their own, as Vic Enwere also ran in from a yard out.

From there, both teams would match each other with passing touchdowns, to make it a 14-14 game. California would then begin to gain separation from Air Force.

The Golden Bears would score on three straight possessions, all of which were beautiful touchdown passes from Jared Goff. Air Force would get a score of their own in, but by then Goff and the Golden Bears had a commanding 35-21 lead at the half.

California would continue to extend their lead right out of the half, as Goff found Darius Powe for 12 yards and a touchdown. Air Force would then have a big fumble, which set up a California field goal. The game was suddenly 45-21 in favor of California and looking like a blowout.

Air Force would try to climb back in it, as Karson Roberts and Timothy McVey connected on a 57-yard score. California would respond to Air Force’s touchdown to keep their big lead, when Goff continued to roll with his pass to Kenny Lawler, who made a beautiful sprint to the end zone, which gave Goff six touchdowns on the day.

The Golden Bears held a 52-29 lead and the game was all but over, save for Air Force scoring on another touchdown pass from Roberts. With time running down and a 52-36 lead, California just worked on the clock and making Air Force burn their timeouts.

California capped off their day with a field goal, to make it 55-36. With the win, California became the 2015 Armed Forces Bowl winners.
