PHOENIX — The Pac-12 had some impressive victories during college football's opening weekend.
UCLA looked sharp behind star-in-the-making freshman quarterback Josh Rosen, California scored 73 points in a rout over Grambling State and Southern California beat Arkansas State by 51.
Those turned out to be exceptions in what's usually a weekend of routs.
For a conference that's been compared to and been mentioned as possibly being deeper than the SEC, the Pac-12 took a big backseat to the conference from the South with some ugly losses the first week of the season.
A rundown of the Pac-12's losses and shaky performances:
Stanford
Result: 16-6 loss at Northwestern.
