Washington State defeats Cal with last minute touchdown, 19-13
Game story from ESPN … Gardner Minshew threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Easop Winston Jr. with 32 seconds left to lift No. 10 Washington State to a 19-13 win over California on Saturday night, extending WSU’s long-shot quest to crash the College Football Playoff.
Minshew threw for 334 yards for Washington State (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12, No. 8 CFP), which is also seeking its first Pac-12 North title. The Cougars have a 12-game home winning streak, fourth-longest in the nation.

Utah loses quarterback Tyler Huntley for the season in loss to Arizona State
Game story from ESPN … “Wilkins, Harry lead Sun Devils past No. 16 Utah 38-20”
Related … “Utah QB Tyler Huntley done for season with broken collarbone” … from ESPN
From the Salt Lake City Tribune … Utah’s seemingly well-paved road to the Pac-12 South football championship turned extremely bumpy Saturday.
The Utes lost quarterback Tyler Huntley to an apparent shoulder injury late in the third quarter and missed their opportunity to take full command of the division race, falling 38-20 to Arizona State at Sun Devil Stadium.
After the game, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said Huntley likely was done for the season due to the injury.
The loss means Utah (6-3, 4-3 Pac-12) is tied with Arizona for first place in the Pac-12 South, pending USC’s outcome at Oregon State. ASU (5-4, 3-3) is a half-game behind the Utes, owning the tiebreaker between the teams. Utah will have beat Oregon and Colorado in its last two conference games and get some help from one of ASU’s remaining opponents: UCLA, Oregon or Arizona.
Utah’s future may be complicated by Huntley’s injury, with redshirt freshman Jason Shelley as his replacement. Beyond Utah’s division title-hopes, the question becomes how much of this season the Utes can salvage.
Does anyone doubt there’s a November curse on this program?

Oregon spoils Chip Kelly’s return to Autzen with 42-21 win
From ESPN … Justin Herbert threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns and Oregon defeated UCLA 42-21 on Saturday in Bruins coach Chip Kelly’s first game at Autzen Stadium since he left the Ducks following the 2012 season.
Dillon Mitchell caught eight passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns for the Ducks (6-3, 3-2 Pac-12), who became bowl eligible. The victory also snapped a two-game losing streak that had dropped the Ducks out of the rankings.
With the loss, UCLA (2-7, 2-4) was guaranteed to finish below .500 in Kelly’s first season with the Bruins.
During Kelly’s four-year tenure Oregon made four straight BCS bowl appearances and he was lauded as the architect of the Ducks’ up-tempo “blur offense.” He was greeted with warm applause when he was introduced prior to the coin flip.
