The Season-Ending Injury to Cal QB Kevin Riley

TUESDAY
QB Kevin Riley was never able to put it all together in his four years at Cal. A sad conclusion to a real up-and-down collegiate career under Jeff Tedford.

Riley, on the moment coach Tedford embraced him as he came off the field,
"I appreciate everything coach has done. He's been hard on me, but who hasn't? Quarterback-wise, he expected the most of me and I expected the most out of him and me together, and that was fine. We've been through a lot. He's defended me when people criticized me and like I say, a lot of people don't know what goes on really inside the game besides the people playing it. When I came off I knew it was probably done and that's why I got pretty emotional. I'm a pretty tough kid and I think he knew when he saw me, I think he knew I knew that it was done, and I felt like it was just kind of a thank you. It felt good. At the time though, I was hoping to get back in the game but I kind of knew I was done."
