David Ash added his name to the list of quarterbacks who’ve caught a touchdown pass in the Holiday Bowl and he also threw for one score to lead the Texas Longhorns to a 21-10 victory over the California Golden Bears at the Holiday Bowl in San Diego, CA.

Ash caught a 4-yard pass from wide receiver Jaxon Shipley in the second quarter to join BYU’s Steve Young, Texas A&M’s Bucky Richardson and Oregon’s Joey Harrington as quarterbacks who’ve caught touchdown passes in the Holiday Bowl.

Defensively, the Longhorns (8-5) put on a show, getting five takeaways and sacking Cal’s Zach Maynard six times, both season highs.

The Golden Bears (7-6) are winless in five games against the Longhorns dating to 1959.
