Stanford coach David Shaw has a 10-2 mark against UCLA. The road team has won the last four meetings in this series.

No. 8 Oregon (6-1, 4-0) at California (3-4, 1-3), Saturday. The Ducks are looking to win their first five games in conference play since 2019, but have to face a Cal squad that has won two of the last three home games in the series. Oregon QB Bo Nix has 25 total touchdowns (17 passing, eight rushing) which is fifth in the nation. Cal WR J. Michael Sturdivant set career highs last week with eight receptions for 104 yards and two touchdowns.
