How to watch Texas vs Cal: Live stream, TV channel, game time

Texas hosts Cal on Saturday night as college football’s third week of games wraps up.

The Longhorns are ranked No. 11 after an exhilarating opening-week win over Notre Dame followed by a blowout of UTEP. Shane Buechele is off to a strong start passing the ball, and a balanced rushing attack has helped pace Texas so far.

Cal will lean on quarterback Davis Webb in its pass-heavy offense, looking to bounce back from a loss to San Diego State and pull off a big upset before entering Pac-12 play.
