THE PAC 12 THREAD v.5

[Eco]

Damn I'm ready for this year to begin.

I imagine ASU will be pretty offensively than last year (better QB play, Harry is a year older), but damn this defense didn't seem to improve at all.

Has anyone posted the 'Predict Your Team's Record" yet?

That game and the Apple cup will be deciding the North this year.

Oregon is still another year away of player buying before they'll be relevant again.

The only game in the north that will matter is the A.C. But by then you guys will have the division wrapped. Stanford is going to get rolled by both Washington schools just like last year.

I expect ASU to beat either the Ducks, Huskies, or Trojans, considering they are all at home and they typically do a lot better in the desert, at night.

On the flip side, I don't expect any wins away from Tempe.

nope
If ASU couldn't beat last years Ducks Im not sure they have much hope with this years Ducks. and I never would have bet on them against this years Fuskies or Trojans anyway

Probably won't beat them, but a game in Tempe is different. So a win against the Ducks wouldn't shock me. We'll see if the QB situation is better particularly in terms on injuries. If so, and Blake lives up the hype he had here at Bama, then it wouldn't surprise me.

Thoughts out to coach Taggart as he deals with the passing of his father yesterday.

It's a big year for Todd Graham and I expect that they will be better than next year. However, I'm not worried about their QB play. It's all about their defense. Last year they lost to the last place teams in both divisions and gave up over 50 points in both of those games.

But ASU with Manny, and without Manny were night and day. Then backups got hurt, and their backups got hurt.

Giving up 50 points is awful, and Graham has addressed it publicly this off season. I predict 4-5 wins for ASU, and I don't see them getting any more than that. If that's the case. ASU will be looking to hire a replacement coach. Maybe Les Miles?

Sanctus, there are two Over and Under Pickems on the SportsHoopla pickem to choose from. One is for all P5 CFB teams, the other is exclusively for the PAC12.

If you have any problems joining, just let me know and I'll help you get through it.

UCLA's per-player star average is 3.43, which is the second lowest in the Scout top 10
UCLA Football Recruiting Currently No. 7 in the Nation

So, who is No 1?

Oregon.

Per your own links right now 4.43 is the lowest. TA&M is next at 4.44 and Oregon is 4.45

Yeah, who knows what they were thinking, those links are all from the same article I linked in the quote.

The fuck'd he do?

Actually he may have given us luck.If he said SC was winning I would worry.Did you catch SC has had Dominic Davis playing CB instead of RB?I'm thinking he wants playing time.I see Rojo taking the bulk of the carries.But Carr has looked very explosive in camp.And its looking like Helton wants to work Carr's skill set into the offense.

Hearing great things about Carr. he's already bigger than Rojo.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Heraing great things about Carr. he's already bigger than Rojo.

From what I've read bigger than Rojo with a lot of burst.Also hearing a lot of great things about the wr's and d so far.This team may be a lot deeper than originally expected

Very impressed with what I've read about Carr. Sounds like he might be a faster version of Lendale.

That's actually the comparison I'm catching the most. Seems like the coaching staff has been very impressed. Also reading great things about Vaughns, pie and Lewis at WR. A lot of depth at TE.Sears looks legit. Sounds like Marshall progressed again this year and may be a great lock down corner. Jack jack is looking comfortable the reps last year may have helped quite a bit. Bigelow is looking good after returnining. Tui, Tufele and Levy may all play big roles. And bolden and pau may be one hell of a combo at safety in the near future. I like the direction Helton and the staff have SC going. Time will tell tho
