Nix is fourth in the conference in passing touchdowns and second in scoring runs.

Troy Franklin is Nix’s favorite target and he caught eight passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns against UCLA. For the season, he has 35 receptions for 561 yards and five TDs.

Cal Betting Outlook

After starting the season 3-1, Cal is having another rough time in the Pac-12. This marks the 14^th consecutive season that the Golden Bears have lost at least three conference games in a row.

California played Washington tough and was down 6-0 at the half last week. However, despite three second-half touchdown passes by Jack Plummer, the Bears fell short as their record fell below .500.

Two of the scoring passes went to J.Michael Sturdivant.

Plummer finished 21-of-34 passing for 245 yards with no interceptions. Sturdivant had eight receptions for 104 yards.

California is scoring just 23.3 points a game, which ranks 105^th among the 131 FBS teams.

A transfer from Purdue, Plummer is completing 61.2% of his passing attempts for 1,754 yards and 12 touchdowns with three interceptions.

Running back Jadyn Ott, a true freshman, is having a fine collegiate debut season as he is fourth in rushing in the Pac-12. Ott has 618 yards and five scores in 103 attempts.

Sturdivant has a team-best 37 catches for 445 yards and five touchdowns. Jeremiah Hunter has added 30 receptions for 448 yards and two TDs.

Oregon vs Cal Prediction

Oregon has won 11 of its last 13 games against Cal, including eking out a 24-17 win in Eugene last season. Hunter had three catches for 78 yards in a losing effort.

The blowout loss to Georgia seems so long ago for the Ducks, who are rolling. Look for Oregon to win big again against the scuffling Bears.

Pick: Oregon -17 (-110)
