California coach Justin Wilcox spent the week off for the Golden Bears trying to fix a defense that has been one of the worst in the Pac-12. The Bears (3-4, 1-3 Pac-12) will get an immediate test on how well that went when they host reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams and No. 24 Southern California (6-2, 4-1) on Saturday. “He’s a special talent and I know our guys are excited to get to play him again,” Wilcox said.

Baylor coach Dave Aranda reshuffled the starters on his offensive line during the Bears’ bye last week, and the change showed on the field Saturday afternoon.

This time last year, Tyson Bagent was nearing the end of a record-setting career at Division II powerhouse Shepherd University and getting ready for what turned out to be a romp at West Chester (Pennsylvania). The Chicago Bears expect Bagent to be behind center with Justin Fields recovering from a dislocated right thumb when they host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. “The details, a lot of details," Bagent said about the difference between D-II and the pros.

The first game for the Minnesota Vikings without Justin Jefferson was a slog, a glaring reminder of how vital the superstar wide receiver is for their ability to score. The Vikings also suggested in Chicago that acumen, grit and pride might be just enough to keep the season alive while Jefferson is sidelined with a hamstring injury — even if it's going to be ugly at times. “We’re not going to be picky about finding a way to get a win,” quarterback Kirk Cousins said.
