Week 1 was far from pretty for the Pac-12. UCLA lost to Cincinnati, Oregon State lost to Oklahoma State and Oregon lost its big chance to make a statement against Auburn, falling in the final moments.
Week 2 went ever so slightly better for the conference, winning six of eight games against other leagues. Additionally, the first two Pac-12 games were both surprising.
Here’s how things went down on Friday and Saturday:
Arizona State 19, Sacramento State 7
It looked like the Pac-12’s rough reputation was about to take another hit for a while on Friday, before ASU managed to pull away from FCS Sacramento State.
