Goff is setting fire to the Cal record book as we speak, but he is also closing in on some pretty rarified air with regard to some all-time conference records...
Passing Yards -- Goff is currently at 9111, which is good for 21st on the all-time Pac 12 list. With likely 8 games to go (7 regular season and a probable bowl), averaging around 325 yards/game (which is a little under where he currently is), he'll add 2600 to that, for a total of about 11,700. That would put him 4th on the all-time list behind Mannion, Palmer, and Barkley, all of whom played for four years.
Mannion has the most all time with 13600 -- Goff would easily slaughter that figure if he came back for a fourth year and stayed healthy. (I know, not going to happen...but I'm just saying...)

Touchdowns -- Goff now has 68 TD's, which puts him in a tie for 18th with Cade McNown. He is averaging 3 passing TD's per game, so add 24 to that total and he ends up at a projected 92 career TD's, good for 5th on the all-time Pac 12 list. Of the four who would be ahead of him, two played for four years (Barkley and Halliday). The other two (Mariota and Leinart) played for teams that went to the national championship game.

Completions - Goff is currently in 18th place with 761 career completions. He is averaging about 25 a game right now, so if you project that through the next 8 games he should finish with around 961. That would put him 4th on the all-time list, and all three QB's in front of him -- Mannion, Halliday, Barkely -- played for four years.

Bottom line, we are witnessing not only one of the greatest QB careers in the history of Cal, but, really, one of the greatest QB careers in the history of the Pac 12 conference.
