Oregon State is clearly back in the Pac-10 hunt, now let's hope that things work out for California running back Jahvid Best, who was carted off the field after landing hard on the back of his head at the end of a touchdown run.
The word now is that Best suffered a concussion. He has movement in his extremities, which is good news.
Not a lot went right for the Bears after Best got hurt, though, as Oregon State rolled to its fifth consecutive win in Berkeley, 31-14.
Beavers quarterback Sean Canfield continued his hot play. He threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns and he also ran for a score. The senior already leads the conference in passing, and he may be surging toward first-team All-Pac-10 honors.
The Beavers improved to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Pac-10. With a visit to Washington and a road game at Washington State the next two weekends, they have a good chance of playing the Civil War at Oregon with substantial stakes on the line.
Oregon State dominated statistically, outgaining the Bears 436 yards to 239.
Best's TD hurdle that got him injured cut the Beavers lead to 14-7 with 6:07 left in the second quarter, but after that the Bears looked -- understandably -- out of sync.
