SAN FRANCISCO – Another thrilling week of Pac-12 non-conference football is set to air Saturday, Sept. 17 across ABC, FOX, NBC, ESPN and Pac-12 Networks. Several feature matchups include:

 

 

The 25th-ranked Ducks hit the gridiron for their second top-25 matchup of the season against No. 12 BYU at 12:30 p.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. MT on FOX.

 

Oregon bounced back after a season-opening setback to third-ranked Georgia to topple Eastern Washington, 70-14, last Saturday. The Ducks scored 10 touchdowns, including one from tight end Cam McCormick, who was honoring fellow tight end and friend Spencer Webb, who passed away over the summer, by wearing Webb’s No. 18 jersey. Quarterback Bo Nix threw for 277 yards and five scores while head coach Dan Lanning got his first win at the helm.

 

 

ABC is set to televise a key home contest for Washington as they go up against No. 11 Michigan State at 4:30 p.m. PT / 5:30 p.m. MT in the team’s Purple Out contest.

 

The Huskies wrap up non-conference play against the 11th-ranked Spartans, who are making their first trip to Seattle since 1970. Washington is 2-0 on the year, most recently rolling over Portland State, 52-6, behind 617 yards of total offense. Michael Penix Jr. threw for 337 yards and two touchdowns, and Jalen McMillan hauled in 127 receiving yards and one score. Washington leads the Pac-12 with 571 offensive yards per game and 13 total touchdowns.

 

 

The No. 7 Trojans put their 2-0 record on the line against California-foe Fresno State at 7:30 p.m. PT / 8:30 p.m. MT on FOX.

 

Seventh-ranked USC began Pac-12 play with a 41-28 win over Stanford in the first win over the Cardinal on The Farm since 2014, and the first conference win for head coach Lincoln Riley. Reigning Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week Caleb Williams tossed four touchdowns and added 341 yards while the Trojans posted 505 yards of total offense. USC is currently tied for the best scoring offense in FBS with 53.5 points per game.

 

 

The Golden Bears head to South Bend, Indiana in the first meeting between these two teams in 55 years at 11:30 a.m. PT / 12:30 p.m. MT on NBC.

 

Cal heads into the highly-anticipated matchup 2-0 on the season, and are coming off a thrilling win over UNLV this past weekend in which the Bears’ defense made three fourth-down stops in the final 30 minutes, including one on fourth and goal with 2:46 remaining to help seal the six-point win over the Rebels. Cal’s defense ranks third in the Pac-12 in points per game allowed at just 13.5, and will face a new Notre Dame quarterback this Saturday after starter Tyler Buchner was ruled out for the season.

 

 

Coming off a thrilling last-second comeback win, Oregon State hosts Montana State from Providence Park in Portland, Oregon at 5 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. MT on Pac-12 Network.

 

The Beavers, who are receiving votes in the latest AP top-25 poll, look to improve to 3-0 on the year against the Bobcats before heading into league play. Oregon State trailed by three with 40 seconds remaining against Fresno State last weekend before posting a seven-play, 73-yard drive capped off by Jack Colletto’s game-winning two-yard touchdown run as the clock hit zero.

 

 

"It's just another football team. It's just another test on our schedule."
