BERKELEY – Brian Driscoll was named the Pac-12 Offensive Lineman of the Week on Tuesday for his performance in Cal's 58-21 season-opening win at North Texas on Saturday. Driscoll won the honor for the first time in his career and is the first Golden Bear to be named a Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week since Ben Coleman in Week 4 of the 2022 campaign.

Cal (1-0) will host perennial national and SEC power Auburn (1-0) in its home opener Saturday when the Tigers visit Berkeley for the first-ever meeting between the teams. The Gold Out contest will be televised live by ESPN and kick off at 7:30 p.m. PT under the lights at California Memorial Stadium, which is celebrating 100 years in 2023.
