THE PAC 12 THREAD v.3

[SUBuddha]

With all of the last post written, I forgot my way too early PAC rankings.

North:

1) Oregon - Pending a new QB adapting to the system and their ability to replace key parts of the OL.
2) Stanford - Pending the D gelling and Hogan playing well, they could drop to 4.
3) Oregon State - I don't know why but I have a feeling the Beavs will jump some folks this year.
4) UW - I think UW is on the up tick, but given the offenses in the league, their loses on D will take more time to recover from.
5) CAL- I dislike everything about CAL sports and Sonny Dykes strikes me as a petulant child in interviews. I just think Goff is going to be putting up techmo bowl numbers this year with all their new WR's. The key will be what happens with a D that couldn't stop a drunk senior citizen in a rascal scooter last year.
6) WSU - Leech got a new D-coordinator, but, like CAL, they have not been recruiting the talent they need on D to compliment the O.

South:
1) USC - I like the pieces they have in place, and they get Stanford at home early when the D will be most Suspect.
2) Arizona - They have an easy early season schedule, and then boom they get Stanford at Stanford but they miss Oregon.
3) ASU - They miss Stanford this year in the north, but the early $C and @ UCLA two game set will be a make or break deal, especially if aTm comes to play in the first game.
4) Utah - This is a make or break year for Wittingham IMHO. He has some key players, and they get a fair amount back.
5) UCLA - I do not think UCLA will be bad this year, but I think the south is going to be a blood bath' Add to that, they have their choice of little Neuheisl or a kid that one coach I talked to said has a "major selfish streak" at QB. All of that said, they could win the south as their schedule looks the easiest in the south to me.
6) Colorado - I would love to be more upbeat on the Buffs, but man, they just look so bad.

Did you look at UW schedule. highly reguarded as toughest in the nation next season. Im not sure they even make a bowl.

I did Oly, but the Defense on WSU and CAL just lead me to believe they will be worse than UW, at least UW should beat both of them.

3) Oregon State - I don't know why but I have a feeling the Beavs will jump some folks this year.

IF the Beavs do, it will be because of a run game wif Storm Woods and a decent O-line. W/o that the Beavs QB is a sitting duck on the run.

Nope, news to me. I'm sure all of my fellow dawgs would be saying we hope it's permanent though.

 

[WizardHawk]

Makes the likelihood of Samuels or Browning starting next year much greater. I'm all for it. Take as much time as you need Miles. No, really.

maybe he takes a medical leave and you get to have him a year longer.

As things stand, Miles does not plan to play for the Huskies during the 2015 season, but he is keeping his options open, a source with knowledge of Miles’ plans told The Seattle Times.

Happy days are here again, the sky above is clear again!!!!

Holy shit. What fantastic news.

Fuck no. He needs to go. Anywhere. Somewhere. Nowhere. I don't care, just not on our campus.

I hear he's going to transfer to Oregon. Says Vernon Adams is a fheg.

don't know anyone who'd argue that he would.

Are there any Huskies that actually support him being the starter? I remember the facebook bit of Miles highlights for the 14 season and most were his great pooch kicks.

 

[WhiteMamba]

So the entire thread actually agrees on something.

Impressive.

Hey WAIT! What about JS @ O-Coor? ... uh oh.

My only sympathy for Miles is that he had to shoulder too much of the reponsibility for the 2014 offense when a big reason it stunk most of 2014 is Sark left us with absolutely nothing at RB. Sark rode Sankey which masked the looming disaster at that position once he left for the NFL.

Then also factor in that Sark whiffed on every QB recruit besides Price. That's the killer. The guy is supposed to be known for his ability at grooming pro style offenses, but he end up with a stable of busts at QB.

I guess it's a best situation for him down at USC because the built in recruiting advantage will help mask his sloppy coaching and lack of discipline.

That was a awful situation to be put into for any new starting college QB. No run game. Especially considering the schedule you now face in the PAC with so many quality ranked teams. Miles at least kept the INT numbers low and had a comp % above 65. But it's obvious he's not got the poise and mental discipline to drive to be the best. Peterson expects more from his players.

Miles is another Sark era head case. He should be thankful for all the chances handed to him, but some mofos are just too dysfunctional to do that.

I think a lot of this is the fact that Samuels is going to be the 2015 starter. Miles could of still taken it like a man and be a good team mate about it. Be thankful for all the things provided to him. He could easily be the guy to step up if Samuels gets hurt and have another shot. But appears he can't handle that. Sad.
