UNDATED (AP) — There are some standout true freshmen contributing in the Pac-12 this season, among them is USC’s Stephen Carr. Arizona tops the league with 17 true freshmen on the roster. Then there’s Colorado, which has a 30-year-old rookie kicker. Coaches across the league must balance whether playing a true freshman right away is in the player’s or the team’s best interest.

UNDATED (AP) — True freshman Thomas Graham Jr. has started the last two games for the 24th-ranked Ducks (3-0). A cornerback out of Rancho Cucamonga, California, Graham got two interceptions and two pass breakups, and overall Oregon has seven interceptions through three games after just nine last season.
