Quarterback Passes For Four Scores As Cal Mangles Maryland
Berkeley, CA (AHN) – Kevin Riley completed 17-of-26 passes for 298 yards with four TDs, as the 12th-ranked California Golden Bears flattened Maryland Terrapins 52-13 Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
Jahvid Best torched the Terps defense on the ground with 137 yards and two TDs.
The Terps were supposed to have improved on their pressure defense, but the Bears encountered no problems in moving the ball in the contest.
Instead it was California that stifled the Terps offense, as quarterback Chris Turner was sacked a couple of times and Maryland was prevented out of the end zone until late in the tilt.
Turner connected on 17-of-30 passes for 167 yards in the setback.
Miscues and tentativeness also contributed in the loss for Terps (0-1), who will seek to bounce back next Saturday when they host James Madison.
The Golden Bears (1-0) will continue their homestand also next Saturday when they face Eastern Washington.
