California coach Jeff Tedford said during the Pac-10 teleconference that running back Jahvid Best didn't suffer any new damage to his elbow during the Arizona game and should be able to practice this week and play against UCLA on Saturday. Best was pulled in the third quarter in Cal's 42-27 defeat when his elbow, which he dislocated on Sept. 27 against Colorado State, started bothering him again.
"It's been positive the last couple of days," Tedford said. "I think it was more muscle issues. His elbow felt pretty good on Sunday and [Monday] he came in and said it felt really good." Meanwhile, Tedford said that Nate Longshore and Kevin Riley will continue to compete during the week for the starting job at quarterback. Riley started the first four games, while Longshore started the last two. Riley replaced Longshore in the fourth quarter against Arizona. "Our quarterback situation will be the same as last week as far as they will get equal reps during the week and we'll see how the week goes to see who's going to start," Tedford said.
