California Golden Bears really bounced back last week against UCLA after a two game losing streak and a bye week. The question isn't if the Bears are going to beat WSU Cougars this week, the question is by how many?

Prediction: Golden Bears 58 Cougars 17

Does anybody give the WSU Cougars any shot here at all?

Riley throws three early TDs as Cal routs Washington State



BERKELEY, Calif. -- Kevin Riley threw for touchdowns on his only three passes of the first quarter, Jahvid Best scored three touchdowns and California routed Washington State 49-17 Saturday.

Riley connected with Best, Marvin Jones and Shane Vereen as the Golden Bears (5-2, 2-2 Pac-10) scored 28 points on its first 11 offensive plays to break out to the early lead and cruise to the win.

Jeremy Ross scored on a 76-yard punt return, and Best ran for 159 yards and two scores on 13 carries to help Cal win for the second straight week following two blowout losses to Oregon and Southern California. The Bears are averaging 48 points in their victories but failed to score a single touchdown in the two losses.

The Cougars (1-6, 0-5) gained 299 yards in the first half and finished with a season-high 440. The Cal defense allowed at least 400 yards for the fourth straight game despite facing a freshman quarterback in Jeff Tuel.

I got to feel a little sorry for those Cougar fans up in Pullman. Tough year last year and another tough won this year. Cougars are obviously at least a year away.
