No. 6 Oregon at Cal - Postgame Notebook
•Marcus Mariota set the Oregon career mark for passing yards, eclipsing Bill Musgrave's (1987-90) former record of 8,343. He now has 8,625.
•Mariota passed for a touchdown for the 33rd straight game - every game of his career. His streak is second among current players behind Marshall's Rakeem Cato (39), who set the NCAA record in the Thundering Herd's win over Florida International last Saturday.
•Mariota has passed for multiple TDs in eight straight games - the longest active streak in the FBS.
•Mariota's streak of passing attempts without an interception ended at 253 after his first pick of the season. It ranks as the second-longest streak in Pac-12 history behind his previous best of 353.

•Charles Nelson had his second touchdown on a punt return this season, scoring from 58 yards out.
•Royce Freeman set the UO mark for rushing yards by a true freshman and now has 748 for the season. Freeman rushed for more than 100 yards for a third straight game, finishing with 112 on 22 carries with two touchdowns. His 13 rushing TDs on the season are tied for the eighth-most by a UO player in a single season and one off the freshman record of 14 set by LaMichael James in 2009.
•Freeman has rushed for multiple touchdowns in 5 of 8 games this season.
•Byron Marshall hauled in a career-long 54-yd TD reception. He became the sixth different Oregon receiver with a catch of 50 or more yards this season.

•Mariota has now totaled 30 touchdowns on the season (24 passing, 5 rushing, 1 receiving), which leads the FBS.
