| |  | CALIFORNIA: The Golden Bears' pro-style offense fizzled with a paltry 14.8 PPG during a season-ending, five-game losing skid, but figures to be much more exciting this year. Sonny Dykes' brings his fast-paced spread attack from Louisiana Tech (578 YPG, 1st in FBS), but it's unclear if junior QB Austin Hinder or freshmen QBs Zach Kline and Jared Goff will start, as the trio has zero FBS pass attempts. New skill-players are needed to help WR Chris Harper (544 rec. yds) and RB Brendan Bigelow (431 rush yds, 9.8 YPC, 3 TD). The No. 95-ranked defense (441 YPG) will switch to a 4-3 with DC Andy Buh. DL Deandre Coleman (48 tackles, 3 sacks) and DE/LB Chris McCain (50 tackles, 4 QBH) and LB Nick Forbes (85 tackles) make the front seven above average. The awful pass defense (272 YPG, T-107th in FBS) lost three starters. | | OREGON: The Ducks were 12-1 last year with the lone loss coming to Stanford in overtime. When Chip Kelly left, OC Mark Helfrich was promoted and his offense (49.5 PPG, 2nd in FBS; 538 YPG, 5th in FBS) could throw more. Two of the nation's best players return in QB Marcus Mariota (2,677 pass yds, 32 TD, 6 INT; 752 rush yds, 5 TD) and RB De'Anthony Thomas (701 rush yds, 7.6 YPC; 445 rec. yds; 18 total TD). RBs Byron Marshall (447 rush yds, 4 TD) and freshman Thomas Tyner will also share in the nation's No. 3 rushing attack (315 YPG). WR Josh Huff (493 rec. yds, 7 TD) and TE Colt Lyeria (7 total TD) are both polished. Oregon led FBS with 40 takeaways, and brings back DE Taylor Hart (8 sacks) to anchor a stout D-Line and elite CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu (4 INT, 16 PD, 6 FF) to lead the secondary. The linebackers are green though. |

*California-Oregon Preview* ===========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
California (1-2) at No. 4 Oregon (3-0), 10:30 p.m. EDT
After breezing through its first three games and enjoying a week off, Oregon can focus on carrying over that early non-conference success to league play.
The second-ranked Ducks begin what they hope is another successful Pac-12 season Saturday night looking for a fifth consecutive victory over visiting California, which is facing its second straight top-5 opponent.
Oregon (3-0) put together a 184-27 scoring advantage while facing little adversity in FCS school Nicholls, Virginia and Tennessee. Only Baylor, which has faced even less-formidable competition than the Ducks through its first three games, has averaged more than Oregon's 61.3 points and 672.0 total yards.
The Ducks trail only Navy in the FBS with 355.3 rushing yards per contest.
"They are good and they know what they are doing," first-year Cal coach Sonny Dykes said.
Sophomore quarterback Marcus Mariota has recorded 1,151 total yards while throwing seven touchdowns with no interceptions and rushing for four scores. He passed for a career-high 456 yards and four TDs in the 59-14 win over the Volunteers on Sept. 14.
The first Duck to throw for more than 400 yards in a game since Kellen Clemens in 2005, Mariota has at least one TD pass in all 16 career games.
Mariota and the Ducks also showed some early resilience by overcoming four first-quarter penalties and a 7-0 deficit to the Vols.
"We don't get frustrated," said Mariota, who went 27 of 34 for 377 yards with six touchdowns and 42 rushing yards in a 59-17 win at Cal on Nov. 10. "We understand that sometimes we'll get slowed up a little bit. But once we find a rhythm, we're pretty good."
Oregon has been very good in conference play, winning 36 of 39 with its losses coming to Southern California and Stanford twice. The Ducks might have some extra motivation this season after the Cardinal won the 2012 Pac-12 North Division title and a berth in the conference championship game by handing Oregon its only defeat, 17-14 in overtime at Eugene on Nov. 17.
Oregon has outscored Cal 159-48 during a four-game winning streak in the series. Winners in 22 straight home games against unranked opponents, the Ducks have taken two in a row and nine of 10 from the Golden Bears (1-2) at Autzen Stadium.
"It will be a challenge, but our guys will be excited to play, and when you are playing against a good offense, defense or team, you get excited to play," said Dykes, whose squad ranks last in the conference with an average of 556.3 yards allowed.
Like Oregon, the Bears had an extra week to prepare after losing 52-34 at home to No. 4 Ohio State on Sept. 14. Cal last faced top-5 teams in back-to-back games Oct. 13 and 20, 2001, when it lost to the then-No. 5 Ducks and then-No. 4 UCLA.
"This next game is going to be completely opposite of these last three," Oregon coach Mark Helfrich told the school's official website. "Cal has thrown it around probably more than anyone else. ... They throw it a ton, and watching some of the game (against Ohio State), it's just a different set of challenges."
Bears freshman Jared Goff averages an FBS-leading 435.3 passing yards and has thrown seven touchdowns. However, he's been sacked 12 times and two of his four interceptions have been returned for touchdowns.
Oregon has forced seven turnovers and recorded eight sacks this season.
Cal can't afford another slow start after trailing 21-0 in the first quarter to the Buckeyes. It also fell behind 14-7 and needed to rally for a 37-30 win over Portland State of the FCS a week earlier.
"We have got to address it and see what is going on," Dykes said.
Though the Bears have run for 263 yards over the last two games, they rank ninth in the conference with 3.1 per carry.
