BERKELEY, Calif. — Fernando Mendoza threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, leading California to a 31-10 victory over San Diego State.

The Bears defense did the rest, keeping the Aztecs out of the end zone until the fourth quarter. Cal has held all three opponents to 14 points or fewer after giving up 32.8 points per game last season.
