The 2003 Insight Bowl was a post-season American college football bowl game between the Virginia Tech Hokies and the California Bears on December 26, 2003. The game was the final contest of the 2003 season for both teams, in which Virginia Tech had come third in the Big East Conference, while California had tied for third place in the Pacific-10 Conference. From the beginning of the game, it was a quick-paced, high-scoring contest. In the first quarter, Virginia Tech jumped out to a 21–7 lead. In the second quarter, California scored two touchdowns but Tech took a 28–21 lead into halftime. Bolstered by an improved defensive effort, California scored 21 unanswered points to take a 42–28 lead into the fourth quarter. Tech evened the score at 49–49 after an 80-yard touchdown drive that took less than two minutes and a punt return by DeAngelo Hall for a touchdown. The post-score Tech kickoff went out of bounds, and with time running out, California began to drive for a game-winning score. The Bears needed just seven plays to advance 47 yards and set up a field goal attempt. As time expired, kicker Tyler Fredrickson (pictured) kicked a 35-yard field goal to give California a 52–49 victory. (Full article...)
