The junior running back scored all five of his team's touchdown as Cal defeated Minnesota 35-21 at Minneapolis.

The 5-foot-10, 195-pound junior ran the ball a season-high 26 times, gaining 131 yards and scoring on rushes of 33 and 27 yards in addition to a trio of 2-yard touchdowns. The five TDS marked a career high and fell just one short of the school single-game record set by Dick Dunn in 1922.

After three games, Best has run 53 times for 412 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 137.1 yards per game and 7.8 yards per carry. He's also caught seven passes for 59 yards and one TD.
