California Throttles UCLA, 35-7

California beats UCLA 35-7BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- Shane Vereen rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns, Marvin Jones scored on a 48-yard reverse and California's defense limited UCLA to 144 yards of offense in the Golden Bears' 35-7 victory Saturday.

Kevin Riley ran for a score and threw a short TD pass to Keenan Allen for the Bears (3-2, 1-1 Pac-10), who rolled to a 28-0 halftime lead in their first game back from a bye after two straight losses.

Cal smothered UCLA's struggling offense from the opening drive, holding the Bruins to 58 yards in the first half while snapping UCLA's three-game winning streak.

Kevin Prince passed for 99 yards and a score for the Bruins (3-3, 1-2), who haven't won in six trips to Strawberry Canyon since 1998. UCLA's rushing offense, ranked 10th in the nation with 262.4 yards per game heading to Berkeley, managed just 26 yards against the Bears.

Although Riley was just 9 of 16 for 83 yards, coach Jeff Tedford's offense methodically chewed up yardage and time of possession, capping a 304-yard rushing performance on Jones' run through traffic with nine minutes to play.
