Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said on Wednesday that Jarrett Stidham will start the final two games at quarterback in place of Derek Carr.

Nick Mullens completed 7 of 9 passes for 94 yards and one touchdown, and the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Minnesota Vikings 26-20 in a preseason game.

California’s game against Southern California has become the first major college football postponed this season because of COVID-19.

Anthony Brown scored on an 11-yard keeper with 4:50 left and ninth-ranked Oregon held off surprisingly tenacious California 24-17.

California doesn’t have the minimum number of scholarship players available for the game as a result of the positive test and the need for other players to isolate under contact tracing protocols, the Pac-12 said in a statement Thursday. Wilcox had said Wednesday night that the game was in jeopardy because of the large number of players needing contact tracing. The school said the player with a positive test is asymptomatic. This marked the first positive test on Cal’s football team since practices began last month. This is the fourth time a Tulsa game has been postponed or canceled because of COVID cases.

Cal has opened the season with four straight wins and looks to maintain that momentum Friday night against visiting Arizona State. That's the best game he has played; it's not even close," Cal coach Justin Wilcox told reporters. Garbers could post similar numbers against a young Arizona State defense that allowed 21 combined points in its first three games but lacked a pass rush in last Saturday's 34-31 loss to Colorado. ABOUT ARIZONA STATE (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12)Freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels threw for 345 yards and two touchdowns against Colorado and relied heavily on senior wideout Brandon Aiyuk, who had nine receptions for 122 yards and a score.

23 California will need an early wake-up call Saturday when the Bears visit Ole Miss for the 9 a.m. Pacific time kickoff. The Bears boast a strong ground game but will be matched up against an improving Ole Miss defense that held both Arkansas and Southeastern Louisiana to fewer than 70 yards rushing. Cal is 20-9 against Power Five non-conference opponents since 2002 including a 27-16 home win over Ole Miss in 2017. Ole Miss hasn't lost a non-conference home game since 2012.

ABOUT NORTH TEXAS (1-1)The Mean Green opened with a 51-31 win over Abilene Christian but allowed five sacks in last Saturday's 49-27 loss to rival SMU. Cal is 7-0 in non-conference games under Justin Wilcox, including wins over North Carolina (twice), Ole Miss and BYU. North Texas is 2-6 all-time against Pac-12 teams, with the last meeting coming in 2002 in a 14-9 loss at Arizona. Cal is 5-for-5 in the red zone with three touchdowns and two field goals.

The Bears hope to showcase their new and improved offense starting Saturday in their season opener against visiting UC Davis. Before visiting Washington next week, the Bears need to be careful not to overlook a dangerous UC Davis squad that won a share of the Big Sky Conference title last season. Cal holds a 9-0 lead in the all-time series against UC Davis including a 52-3 win in the last meeting on Sept. 4, 2010. UC Davis faced one Pac-12 opponent last season, losing 30-10 at Stanford on Sept. 15, 2018.
