Sophomore Nate Longshore will get the start at quarterback over Joe Ayoob for the University of California in Saturday's season opener at the University of Tennessee, coach Jeff Tedford announced Tuesday.
Last year's starter Ayoob struggled in 2005 with 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Tedford said he will still consider using Ayoob depending on the flow of the game.
Longshore missed all of last season after tearing ligaments in an ankle and breaking a leg in the second quarter of the opener against Sacramento State and has battled back problems recently.
California, ranked No. 9 overall, have their highest preseason ranking in 54 years despite a summer of uncertainty at quarterback.
