‘Seattle’s exhausted defenders did get a break from Lynch, but it was only after they may as well have surrendered; he took his final snap with 13:50 left in the fourth on a drive that began the previous quarter. The capable Fred Jackson took every carry from then on, as the starter earned himself virtually a full stanza off. Winning early means getting to play spectator late in games, which is not only fun in itself for the Cal product but also good for a team that needs him to stay intact.’
