Jared Goff’s profile would reach new heights with win at Utah The recent evolution of Jared Goff into a national story line has challenged Cal’s creativity.

The Spartans’ Tyler Ervin has run for 801 yards this season — 460 in the past two games — and figures to get plenty of carries against a UNLV defense that’s allowing 190.8 rushing yards per game. The Rebels will go with sophomore quarterback Kurt Palandech because normal starter Blake Decker, a senior, separated his non-throwing shoulder in a 23-17 win at Nevada last Saturday.
