PAC 12 Thread v6.0

[Duckboy33]

Cal @ ASU canceled, Herm has virus. If we would have won last week I’d be less pissed about this.

UCLA/Utah also canceled. Rumor is Cal and UCLA are trying to play on Sunday

 

[RegentDenali]

Yep.

 

[TheLonestarDUCK]

Fake stats.

Yes, we are so below UCF yet we still have as many national championships as the Ducks when your biggest donor you know was Nike and ours cared more about academics.

Think you need more money

USC and UO will be smack talking the next few years. With a sprinkle of Utah, ASU and UW. OS & WSU have no shot.

Well I don’t put to much into that considering our highest rated player is a walk on

Did I say Paul Allen made the school a top 5 overall academic university when Wazzu always will be a great tech school? And those “ratings” are all subjective just as what are the best cities to live in.

Oregon could lose one or two of those recruits & I wouldn't be surprised if USC lost up to a third of theirs. The Trojans seem to have problems keeping quality recruits in recent years.

Buffs chopping down the Tree - Noyer looks great, starting to feel a little optimistic. The defense needs work tho, especially the secondary.

Pretty poor game management in the fourth quarter. KD took his foot off the gas and almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Quick react:

Colorado at 2-0 is a bit of a surprise. Is KD actually a good coach?

USC is 2-0 and could easily be 0-2. They are getting the wins, which is the most important thing, however there are still issues in LA.

Ducks move to 2-0 but the defense is still a bit weaker than I was expected. Of course, the offense is better than I imagined so it may be a wash.

UW moved to 1-0 with a win over the Beavs. UW has an elite secondary and a very good defense. Their offense left a bit to be desired. If they want to win the PAC 12, the offense has to improve.

UCLA vs. Cal today should be a good one. I'm really looking forward to it

It's UW's special teams that were hot garbage, not the offense. Sure, they were very conservative on offense, but they didn't make any big errors on that unit. They just chose to be more pete carroll like in their approach. Rookie frosh QB and they didn't want to push him too hard. He did pick up quite a few 3rd and long and extended drives. For sure has to grow. Their run game worked though. over 260y on the ground and controlled the clock for chunks of the game.

The score was too close. I put 100% of it on the special teams. They gifted the beavs a free 7 on the opening drive with a very bad snap over the head on a punt. You can't do that. Their next punt nearly went over his head again. They missed a very short FG that should have been a gimmie. That's 10pts on the ST. Beyond that, they allowed the beavs to make massive yards on kickoffs. Left them with very short fields multiple times and the beavs scored on a couple of them.

If the ST hadn't have struggled that final result was a blow out even with a conservative offense.

They have work to do.

I agree the ST errors made the game a lot closer than it needed to be. But UW was far too conservative on offense considering how close the game was IMO. I get trying to lean on your running game with a freshmen QB but if the coaches have that little faith in Morris, that could be a problem.

All that said, I'm not going to overreact too much to week 1. Especially week 1 in the rain with a freshmen QB making his first career start. But I stand by my original statement. UW will have to show more on offense if they are going to win the PAC 12. I think they certainly could, only time will tell.

Ugghhh...

That USC line could change to USC/Colorado.

 

[trojanfan12]

As of this morning, it looks like USC/Utah will be played as scheduled.

I'm looking forward to that one. Glad to hear things are looking good

Yeah, I guess there was a chance that Utah wouldn't be ready and the Colorado/Utah games would have to be switched, but now it looks like it's a go.
