Filed under: California, Injuries

Kevin Riley's final season of college football came to an end Saturday in Corvallis.

The fifth-year senior quarterback for Cal sustained a "significant" injury to his left knee, according to the results of an MRI tests conducted on Monday.

The information released by Cal about Riley's injury was not specific in terms of a diagnosis.

"It's upsetting to see Kevin end his collegiate career like that," said Cal coach Jeff Tedford. "He has been a very strong competitor during his time at Cal and has dedicated himself to our program. He's a great team player and has a lot of passion for Cal football. He's provided a lot of great moments."

Riley was injured in the first-quarter of Cal's 25-0 loss at Oregon State on Saturday. He finishes with a 19-12 record in 31 career starts at Cal. He's won more games than any active Pac-10 quarterback. He was having an up-and-down senior season for the Bears, starting eight games. He completed 111-of-185 passes (60.0 percent) for 1,409 yards with 13 touchdown passes and six interceptions.
