This Sunday, the Bears will have an opportunity to even their conference record in Salt Lake City against the Utah Utes.

The Pac-12 has three Top 25 matchups in the same week for the first time and just the 10th time in any conference. Topping the marquee will be Deion Sanders and his Buffaloes charging into Eugene to face the Ducks. Colorado has been the biggest surprise of the college football season in its first year under Sanders, knocking off TCU and Nebraska before surviving in double overtime to beat rival Colorado State last week.

The Pac-12 has some of the top Heisman candidates in the 2023 season so far. These are the top guys to watch as conference play gets underway.

Although he is from less than an hour away in East Palo Alto, Jeremiah Earby didn’t visit Berkeley as a child, nor did he frequent Cal games. However, after developing as a football player, and deciding to double down on being a defensive back rather than a wide receiver at the collegiate level, he realized Cal was the far-and-away best fit for him, academically and athletically. As a sophomore, Earby is one of Cal’s most promising young stars, and he is ambitious and excited about his goals for the future on and off the field.

After a slow start, Cal’s offense and defense caught fire and made quick work of the Vandals, winning 31-17.
