The first week of Pac-12 Conference play has a bevy of good matchups that will likely come down to a few plays or keys to the game.

What are those keys in every Pac-12 game this week?

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I get you ready for an outstanding weekend of college football—again—in the Pac-12.

With three Top 25 matchups, winners may very well be decided on just a few plays this weekend.

I’m also back with my weekly ‘Pac-12 Prime Picks’ with the best bets in the league for Week 4.

Multiple favorites have a high level of appeal this week.
