![]() ![]() On August 18, 2022, the University of California announced that Starkey would retire after the Golden Bears' 2022 season. Other previous assignments include the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL and basketball games for the NBA's Golden State Warriors and the University of California Golden Bears. His trademark call, whenever the Seals scored a goal, was "What a bonanza!" It was the same call he carried into his football broadcasts to describe outlandish catches, notably by Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens. Starkey was also the radio and television voice of the now defunct National Hockey League's Oakland (later California Golden) Seals and Colorado Rockies, who later became the New Jersey Devils. He has broadcast for the NFL's Minnesota Vikings (1977) and Denver Broncos, the USFL's Oakland Invaders and the first telecaster for the NHL's San Jose Sharks. He attended Loyola University Chicago, graduating in 1964 with a Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Science in international relations in 1965. Starkey grew up in Chicago and briefly played football at Thornton Junior College. ![]() Starkey is most famous for his frenetic call of The Play in the 1982 Big Game between Cal and Stanford: "Oh, the band is out on the field!" Starkey nearly lost his voice during and after this event, which he hailed as "the most amazing, sensational, dramatic, heartrending, exciting, thrilling finish in the history of college football!" Career He previously worked as the sports director of KGO radio in San Francisco, California and play-by-play announcer for the San Francisco 49ers for 20 seasons from 1989 to 2008. Starkey (born 1941) is an American sportscaster who has served as the radio play-by-play announcer of California Golden Bears football from 1975 to 2022. To check out the full Bears vs 49ers box score, I find that ESPN has an easy to navigate site.Īll statistics and snap counts are taken directly from the NFL’s Game Statistic and Information System, as are the accompanying pictures.For the Canadian ice hockey player, see Joe Starke. Trestan Ebner returned 2 kicks for 48 yards. Trenton Gill (aka the Gill-otine) punted 6 times for a 46.2 average while hitting one inside the 20-yard line.Ĭairo Santos missed 2 of 3 extra points, but the veteran kicker made sure to let the media know that the unsportsmanlike penalty that Gill got for bringing a towel out on the field was his responsibility. SPECIAL TEAMS* *The above image has players that only played in the third phase. Some of the Bears’ defensive ends are still listed as linebackers per the graphic above, but they had a nice rotation up front all afternoon. The rookies showed out with Dominique Robinson getting 7 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a tackle for loss, Jaquan Brisker had 4 tackles, a TFL, and a fumble recovery, and Kyler Gordon had 6 tackles and a TFL. Jaylon Johnson had 4 tackles, 1 TFL, and a forced fumble. Roquan Smith led the Bears with 9 tackles, and he added a pass defended and a half sack.Įddie Jackson (3 tackles) had his first interception since December 12, 2019. Once the club is off of Patrick, and he’s able to snap the ball, it’s presumed he’d slide into the starting lineup at center. Head coach Matt Eberflus said it was the team’s plan all week to rotate Teven Jenkins and Lucas Patrick at right guard. The weather threw a wrench into what offensive coordinator Luke Getsy wanted to do, but the staff adjusted the gameplan and put the team in a position to succeed. David Montgomery had 3 catches for 24 yards but was held to 26 yards on 17 rushes.ĭante Pettis had a 51-yard TD catch, and Equanimeous Tristan Imhotep J. Khalil Herbert led the Bears in rushing with 45 yards on 9 carries and a TD. Three knees in victory formation dropped his rushing numbers to 11 for 28 yards. Justin Fields had a rough first half passing (3 of 9, 19 yards, 1 int, 2 sacks), but he bounced back in the second half (5 for 8, 102 yards, 2 TDs). Now let’s take a closer look at the playing time breakdowns for the Bears and also some individual stats. The 49ers outgained the Bears, 331 yards to 204 yards, had more first downs, 17 to 15, had the time of possession edge, 33:28 to 26:32, and were better on third downs, 47.1% conversions to 35.7%, but the Bears kept plugging away all game long.Ĭhicago won the turnover battle (2 to 1), and they played more disciplined with just 3 penalties for 24 yards to 12 for 99 for the ‘Niners. The buy-in from the players was evident all offseason, but with them trailing 10 to 0 midway through the third quarter, we saw how much this team believes in themselves with 19 unanswered points. The Chicago Bears pulled off one of the bigger upsets of Sunday with a 19 to 10 win against the San Francisco 49ers, and while the awful conditions were a factor, it wasn’t as critical as Matt Eberflus’ H.I.T.S. ![]()
