This season has not gone as it could have, maybe should have, for Cal's Jahvid Best. He was a fringe Heisman candidate on a top-five team early in the season, flying high heading into the Pac-10 schedule. Then he and the Golden Bears crashed against Oregon and USC, dropping two straight by a 72-6 tally as Best could only muster 102 yards in those two outings combined.
Still, with three straight wins against the dregs of the conference and two 100+ days, Best and the Bears had righted the ship, and his touchdown in the second quarter against Oregon State cut the Beavers' lead to 14-6 and had the added bonus of being a spectacular five-foot hurdle over the goal line. The importance of the score -- and the game -- vanished seconds afterward, as Best's awkward, helmet-jettisoning landing and instant signs of concussion sucked the air out of the Strawberry Canyon.
