AMHERST, N.Y. — Matt Wellers 47-yard field goal with 1:25 left gave Ohio a 27-24 victory over Buffalo on Tuesday night.

Theo Scott completed 22 of 28 passes for 221 yards while LaVon Brazill had a career-high 10 catches for 99 yards for the Bobcats (7-3, 5-1 Mid-American Conference).

Naaman Roosevelt had eight catches for 165 yards and scored three touchdowns for Buffalo (3-7, 1-5).

The teams combined to score 28 points in a 3:19 span in the first half. Tyler Tettleton ran 9 yards for Ohio’s first score and Buffalo answered when Roosevelt caught a 76-yard pass from Jerry Davis.

Vince Davidson scored on a 10-yard run for Ohio, and Brazill and Terrence McCray worked a reverse option for 48 yards.

Zach Maynard hit Roosevelt for a 21-yard TD with three seconds left in the half, and for a 22-yarder in the third quarter.

Cal RB Best at home

BERKELEY, Calif. — California star tailback Jahvid Best is resting at home following his frightening fall and concussion and the team has not talked about when he could possibly return to the football field.

“That’s the furthest thing from our mind, when he’s going to come back and play football,” coach Jeff Tedford said. “The No. 1 concern is his health and his well-being. If he doesn’t play again this year, so be it. We haven’t even discussed that and will not discuss it until probably much later on.”

The Golden Bears (6-3, 3-3 Pac-10) play host to No. 18 Arizona on Saturday before finishing the season with road games at Stanford on Nov. 21 and Washington on Dec. 5.

Best was injured in Saturday’s 31-14 loss to Oregon State.
