BERKELEY, Calif. - Marshawn Lynch rushed for 147 yards and a score, and 19th-ranked California beat Sacramento State 41-3 Saturday despite a tumultuous afternoon for three quarterbacks.
Longshore, a redshirt freshman who beat out junior college transfer Joe Ayoob for the starting job, was 8-for-11 for 131 yards with an interception. But Cal led just 7-3 when he sprained his ankle and went to the locker room on a cart.
Ayoob took over, but looked terrible while throwing 10 straight incompletions - most sailing over the heads of his receivers.
Third-stringer Steve Levy, a junior from Cornwall, N.Y., who wasn't expected to play much this season, then threw an interception on his first play from scrimmage. But Levy threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Noah Smith moments later, then led another scoring drive culminating in Chris Manderino's 3-yard TD run.
