California running back Jahvid Best will miss at least one game with a dislocated left elbow, but the versatile speedster won’t require surgery.
Best was injured in the third quarter of the Golden Bears’ 42-7 victory over Colorado State last Saturday. The sophomore is third in the nation with 215.5 all-purpose yards per game, and third in the Pac-10 with 105.3 yards rushing.
California (3-1, 1-0 Pac-10) hosts Arizona State (2-2, 1-0) on Saturday, followed by an off week. Best hopes to be available for the Bears’ trip to Arizona on Oct. 18.
UCONN: Connecticut coach Randy Edsall says quarterback Tyler Lorenzen is expected to be out six to eight weeks following surgery on his broken right foot.
The No. 24 Huskies lost Lorenzen and starting tight end Steve Brouse in Friday night’s 26-21 win at Louisville.
Edsall says Brouse also will miss up to eight weeks after surgery on his broken right leg.
LOUISVILLE: Cardinals quarterback Hunter Cantwell will be ready to go when Louisville plays at Memphis on Oct. 10, coach Steve Kragthorpe said.
