Get Out the Cal-culator, Bears Win Again, 42-18 : Nonconference: Cal now has 128 points in two games, and Pawlawski has nine touchdown passes.

Mike Pawlawski threw for three touchdowns, and California’s defense forced six Purdue turnovers as the Golden Bears rolled to a 42-18 victory Saturday.

Four of the turnovers gave Cal (2-0) field position within Purdue’s 30-yard line and led to 26 points for the Golden Bears, off to their best start since 1982, when they also won the first two games.

Cal has scored 128 points and Pawlawski, who completed 22 of 33 passes 275 yards against Purdue, has nine touchdown passes.

Pawlawski had two passes intercepted in Saturday’s game, which marked the first time Cal and Purdue had met in football.

Russell White rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown, and took a screen pass 51 yards for another score.

Purdue (1-1) didn’t have a turnover in last week’s 49-3 win over Eastern Michigan.

Purdue’s third turnover allowed Cal to take 21-10 lead two minutes into the third quarter.

White ran five yards for a touchdown three plays after linebacker Cornell Collier’s recovery of quarterback Eric Hunter’s fumble.

During the ensuing Cal possession, on a first-down play from the Bears’ 49, Pawlawski threw in the flat to White, who ran down the field untouched for the score.

Hunter threw a second touchdown pass to Ernest Calloway, a 15-yarder, as Purdue closed to 28-18 with 1:36 left in the third quarter. But Corey Rodgers fumbled on the first play of the fourth quarter, with linebacker Jerrott Willard recovering at Purdue’s 24.

Pawlawski’s two-yard touchdown pass to Mike Caldwell put Cal ahead, 35-18. Greg Zomalt scored on a 10-yard run immediately after free safety David Wilson’s interception and 28-yard return off Hunter, who threw two of his three interceptions in the fourth quarter.

All of Cal’s first-half points came in the second quarter on three field goals by Doug Brien and a 30-yard touchdown pass play from Pawlawski to Sean Dawkins.
