SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Nate Longshore threw a TD pass to Anthony Miller with 2:41 left Saturday to give California a 24-17 win over Miami( Fla) in the Emerald Bowl.
Jahvid Best ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries for the Golden Bears (9-4), who won their fourth straight bowl game. Longshore hit on 10-of-21 passes for 121 yards.
Zack Follett sacked Jacory Harris in the closing minutes of a then-tied game. The sack forced a fumble, and Cameron Jordan made the recovery to set up the Golden Bears at the Miami two.
After Best was stopped for no gain, Longshore rolled to his right and threw between defenders to the end zone for the touchdown.
Harris completed 25-of-41 passes for 194 yards with a pair of touchdowns and an interception for the Hurricanes (7-6). Miami was short-handed due to five suspensions of players for violating team rules under first-year coach Randy Shannon. Starting quarterback Robert Marve was one of the five.
