Pac-12 launched its full nine-game conference program for 2021 on Tuesday, becoming the last Power 5 conference to announce plans for what is expected to return to normal after a season severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
UCLA will be the first Pac-12 team in action to host Hawai’i on Aug. 28, leading to an intriguing non-conference roster that includes the state of Oregon at Purdue (Sept. 4), Stanford vs. Kansas State (Sept. 4), UCLA vs. LSU (Sept. 4), Oregon to Ohio State (Sept. 11), Colorado vs. Texas A&M (Sept. 11), Washington to Michigan (Sept. 11) and Cal to TCU (Sept. 11), among others.
