The beginning of Longshore's career was far from easy. First, he broke his leg in Cal's 2005 opener, ending his season. Then he managed just 85 yards passing with an interception before being pulled from Cal's 2006 opener, a blowout loss to Tennessee. But since the embarrassment in Knoxville, Longshore has compiled 1,501 yards and 17 touchdowns in six straight Cal wins.
