Arizona Wildcats 47, USC 24

With no Jayden Daniels in the lineup, the Arizona State Sun Devils (4-2, 2-1) dropped their second straight game and first in conference play to the Colorado Buffaloes (3-3, 1-2) who got their first victory in Pac-12 play. The Buffs seemed to have turned the corner and are playing hot recently.

Stanford 31, Utah 28

The slide continues for the Utah Utes (1-5, 0-3) as even a lackluster performance from the Stanford Cardinal (3-3, 1-3) on the defensive side of the ball couldn’t get Utah over the hump. The Utes are in danger of clinching a losing record in just two weeks time, something that hasn’t happened in some time.

Washington State 42, Oregon State 35

The dream season ended when the Washington State Cougars (6-1, 3-1) connected on a 12-yard touchdown pass as time expired to send the Oregon State Beavers (5-1, 2-1) with their first loss of the season. It was a hard fought battle and shouldn’t hurt their rankings in the power rankings much because both teams look primed to continue their winning ways.

Jake Luton, Oregon State: 9-27, 107 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT

Shemar Smith, Oregon State: 10 total tackles, 7 solo, 3 TFL, 1 sack

UCLA 30, Cal 23

Joshua Kelley and the UCLA Bruins (4-1, 2-0) continued their roll over the Pac-12, literally, as Kelley couldn’t be stopped. Cal (2-4, 0-3) kept it close due to some errant throws by DTR and UCLA, but was undone by their run defense and couldn’t quite get it done, dropping their third consecutive Pac-12 game to start the year.

Passing Stats:
Dorian Thompson-Robinson, UCLA: 13-29, 148 yards, 3 INT
Chase Garbers, Cal: 11-28, 154 yards, 2 TD

Defensive:
Lone Toailoa, UCLA: 8 total tackles, 6 solo, 1 TFL
Evan Weaver, Cal: 11 total tackles, 7 solo, 2 TFL, 1 INT

Oregon 46, Washington 43

It was a classic from the get-go and after taking a quick 14-0 lead, the Washington Huskies (5-1, 2-1) ultimately suffered their first loss thanks to an incredible second half by the Oregon Ducks (6-0, 3-0). Justin Herbert led three different scoring drives in the fourth quarter alone and the Ducks mounted an impressive 22-point final frame to win. The Ducks got by arguably their toughest test remaining on the schedule and are primed for a potential Playoff run.

Passing Stats:
Justin Herbert, Oregon: 18-28, 183 yards, 4 TD
Jacob Eason, Washington: 15-28, 286 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT

C.J. Verdell, Oregon: 24 carries, 128 yards, 1 TD
