Jared Goff Sets Record for Most TD Passes in Cal History

Jared Goff further etched his name into the Cal record books during Saturday’s game against Washington State, tossing his 65th career touchdown pass to move ahead of Kyle Boller for the most in school history.

According to Kevin Danna of Pac-12.com, the high mark is Goff’s 23rd at Cal. He also owns records for passing yards (8,721), total offense (8,600 yards) and completions (728), reflective entering Saturday.

The junior set the record with a 34-yard strike to Bryce Treggs with one minute and 50 seconds left in the first quarter.

Goff set the record at the institution where Aaron Rodgers ascended to national distinction. Rodgers, the reigning NFL MVP, tossed 43 touchdowns in his two seasons at Cal.

However, during Rodgers’ tenure, the Bears relied more on a ground attack, averaging 246 yards per game to the 167.6 from 2013 to present with Goff.

Goff has naturally received comparison to Rodgers as a Cal product with tremendous upside. But NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah says "not so fast" when pinning the pair’s skill sets against each other. Here's what he had to say while appearing on the The Rich Eisen Show (via NFL.com):

"

I would pump the brakes on that one. They're different guys. Aaron Rodgers, you're talking about arm strength that's a different level than Goff, and even the natural feel for the position that Aaron had and some of the pinpoint accuracy he had, those are rare traits. But Goff is very poised. He can move around a little bit and extend plays.

The game looks like it's slow for him, and that's what you want to see at his position.

"

Goff is eligible to enter the NFL draft next season and is currently listed as the top underclassman at his position by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.
