The fog rolled in so thick that you couldn't see more than 15 yards. It took away the passing game completely. Punts were impossible to track.
Fortunately for Stanford, skies were clear and high temps were in the 60s at the beach all week.
The worst fog months are May and June, but fog can strike any time. Too bad you had a night game, Marty. As you probably know, the fog usually burns off by noon.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
