Modesto Bee: Bench Longshore

CAL -- The Winchester Mystery House has nothing on the Cal Bears. Three weeks ago, the Golden Bears (5-3) were one play away from being ranked No. 1 in the country. Today, they sit in sixth place in the Pacific 10 Conference, a cliff-drop worthy of Wile E. Coyote. Pick your reasons: an ill-timed injury to quarterback Nate Longshore, an underachieving defense and offensive line and creeping conservatism in the play-calling from coach Jeff Tedford. It's time for a bold move -- bench Longshore, whose gimpy ankle weakens him in the second half, and plan ahead with promising freshman Kevin Riley.
