California will honor its seniors in a pregame ceremony on Senior Day when the Golden Bears host Oregon State in the final home game of the 2017 season Saturday. After a bye week, Cal ends the regular season with back-to-back road games at Stanford (Nov. 18) and UCLA (Nov. 24). 

The Bears have won each of their last two home finales (Arizona State, 2015; UCLA, 2016). Matt Anderson kicked the game-winning field goal on the final play to beat ASU, 48-46.

Cal set Pac-12 single-game season highs of nine sacks, seven turnovers caused and five interceptions against Washington State, while equaling the most in the conference with three fumbles recovered vs. Weber State. Four Cal players have also been involved in Pac-12 single-game bests. Ross Bowers 75-yard touchdown pass from to Kanawai Noa at Oregon is the longest pass play by Pac-12 players this season, while three others (Ashtyn Davis, 7 kick returns at Oregon; Camryn Bynum, 2 interceptions vs. Washington State; Cameron Goode, intercetpion TD return vs. Ole Miss) have tied Pac-12 game highs. 

Cal set and tied season highs in passing yards (374) and touchdown passes (4) against Colorado, with three TD passes coming from Ross Bowers and one from Vic Wharton III.

Ross Bowers ranks 14th in the nation in passing yards (2356) and 17th in pass completions per game (22.56). He is also tied for second in the Pac-12 in 300-yard passing games (4). 

Kanawai Noa and Vic Wharton III are one of only two FBS wide receiver combos to have at least 43 receptions, 641 yards and 4 TDs each in 2017. 

Dylan Klumph leads the Pac-12 with 12 punts of 50 or more yards.

Cal ranks tied for 15th nationally in fourth-down conversion percentage (14-20, 70.0%), as well as 18th in fourth-down conversion percentage defense (5-14, 35.7%).
