The No. ranked California Golden Bears visit Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon on Saturday for a Pac-12 showdown against the No. 13 ranked Oregon Ducks. California fell to 4-1 on the season following its 24-17 loss at home to Arizona State. Cal quarterback Chase Garbers injured his shoulder in the loss. Garbers had one touchdown pass before injuring his shoulder and during the second half was wearing a splint on the sideline.

Oregon won its Pac-12 opener for the first time in 5 seasons.
Cal quarterback Chase Garbers has thrown for 952 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions, but could miss due to an injured shoulder.
