Cal Golden Bears Game Notes
Fernando Mendoza completed 25 of 39 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday’s 50-49 defeat against USC. He also had eight rushes for 48 yards with two touchdowns. Mendoza was responsible for four touchdowns in the loss and was one play away from upsetting the Trojans, but the risky decision to go for two put the final mail in the coffin. The Bears leaned on their run game, but Mendoza was efficient in directing the offense and threw for almost 300 yards. He is likely to hold on to the job when Sam Jackson (undisclosed) returns and the freshman has an excellent chance to be the team’s quarterback of the future.
Oregon Ducks Game Notes
Bo Nix was 24-for-31 passing for 248 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday’s 35-6 win over Utah. He also had four rushes for eight yards with one touchdown. Thanks to a staunch run defense, Nix easily outscored the Utes with a balanced offensive scheme that heavily featured Bucky Irving, who proved that Utah’s efficacy against the run isn’t as good as advertised. All eyes will be on Michael Penix to see if he can bounce back, because Nix and J.J. McCarthy are hot on his heels in the Heisman race.
