California Golden Bears NCAA Football News

Cal running back Jahvid Best was seriously injured in the Golden Bears' loss to Oregon State this evening.

A magical touchdown run turned into a horrific nightmare in one of the scariest incidents in Cal football history.

California tailback Jahvid Best sustained a concussion and was carted off the field Saturday night and taken to the emergency room after he landed on the back of his head when he leapt more than 5 feet in the air and flipped over a defender to score a touchdown.

Jahvid Best took a direct snap in the second quarter, ran off the left tackle, and at the one yard line attempted to hurdle an Oregon State Beaver.

When outsiders say Oregon State's offense is a two-man show, it comes across as a criticism.

Two years after his fourth-quarter mistake against Oregon State cost California a shot at becoming the top-ranked team in the nation, Kevin Riley can't escape the images of his blunder.

Best sustained his injury Saturday against Arizona State, though he wasn't diagnosed with a concussion until Monday.

California is back in the Top 25. Staying there for more than a week, however, could be a challenge.

THURSDAY, in blissful southeast Portland: Cal running back Jahvid Best and OSU cornerback Tim Clark could compare notes this week.

Riley, California's starting quarterback, isn't shaving as long as the Golden Bearskeep winning, and they're riding a three-game winning streak.

The Oregon State Beavers and the California Golden Bears will clash this weekend in what figures to be a competitive Pac-10 contest.

Seven catches for 55 yards, 30 carries for 166 yards, and two touchdowns. Oh, and more importantly, one big 'W' in the process.

Last week, Cal linebacker Mike Mohamed said he would know better after the game against Arizona State "what are all about." Facing another team in the Pac-10 would reveal which was "the real Cal"-the team that scored six points in two losses or at least 35 in each of its five wins.

In escaping with a 23-21 victory over Arizona State last weekend, Cal proved it can gut out a game that isn't an artistic success.

Call me a 'hater' if you must, but I didn't put Cal in my top 25 when I voted this week.

Quarterback Kevin Riley trotted onto the field with 3:16 left in Saturday's game.

Cal is ranked in the BCS standings for the second straight week--mostly due to the high ranking of both #8 Oregon and #12 USC.

The Bears looked to run away with this contest early, thanks to the sharp throwing of Kevin Riley, who connected on some nice deep balls and threw scores to Marvin Jones and Jahvid Best.

Juice Williams broke loose against Michigan again, and host Illinois stopped the Wolverines on four plays from the 1 before running all over the Wolverines for a 38-13 win Saturday.
