Try as he might, California's sensational running back Jahvid Best can't do everything. Despite rushing for 114 yards and three touchdowns in the first half against Minnesota on Saturday, he wasn't of much use to the Golden Bears when they faced a third-and-16 at their own 22 in the fourth quarter of a tie game. So when Best needed a little help, quarterback Kevin Riley was right on the money. Riley threw a strike between two Gophers defenders for a 35-yard completion to Jeremy Ross, moving the chains and jump-starting the game-clinching drive in a 35-21 victory.
"After that, I think everybody on this team knew we were going to win the game," said Riley, whose Bears climbed two spots to No. 6 in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday.
