Some records are made to be broken. Others are meant to be tied. At least that was the case yesterday at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Jahvid Best led the Calfornia Golden Bears to a road victory over the Minnesota Gophers, 35-21. Best’s effort earns my POTW.

Best rushed for 131 yards on 26 carries – an average of 5 yards per carry. But that doesn’t earn the POTW. Best crossed the goal line five times Saturday afternoon tying a school record established in 1921 by Duke Morrison.

The Vallejo, California native scored on runs of 33, 27, and a trio of 2-yard runs.

Thus far, the 5’10″ Best has eight touchdowns along with 412 yards on 53 rushes.

Who gets your POTW?
