Those last 5

@ASU
Cal
@ Stanford
USC
Oregon State

I love that last two are home games. Makes me feel better about it.

I see some PAC teams. End road road. That is tough.

 

[OregonDucks]

the over/under for UW is 4 wins...at first I thought that was outrageous, but now seeing their schedule. that is probably likely.

 

[TheDayMan]

Washington.... Oh my.

Cal
@SC
Oregon
@ Stanford
Zona
Utah
@ASU
@ OSU.
WSU

Better beat OSU and WSU guise.

Boise is going to be near impossible. UW is 2-11 in road openers.

Utah State not easy.

It's probably gonna be a long year. Or not, first year quarterbacks alway win the NC, or something... right?

 

[WhiteMamba]

Is pregon like natty on a platter?

Stop PRE!!

UW....a year away from being something decent..IMO

LOSS vs CAL
LOSS at USC
LOSS vs Oregon
LOSS at Stanford
LOSS vs Arizona
Win vs Utah
Win at ASU
Win at OSU
Win vs WSU.

I see at best 2 PAC wins.

They had better beat USU. that is the game that will save them from 3-9 IMO.

Seems that way you look at the data. And the last one that wasn't was 2012. Ironically MAriotas freshman year. The only team in the country that year that didn't lose a game in regulation.

1 loss Bama got the pleasure of pounding ND rather than 1 loss UO.

It's a bummer because I was kind of pulling for Lindquist... But I suppose they can go with the Freshman if it means a championship.

Does Vernon "I don't count so good" Adams count as a first year QB?

He does. Don't have to be freshman. Stat 4d posted stated first year qbs

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I think it's Arizona that wiins the South again.

I'm still not sure how they don't have a bye week. could wear them down. but I'm not making any south predictions

USU could be tough. I'm pretty sure I read that Chuckie Keeton is finally healthy again.

Hearing the same.

 

[Olyduck]

[SeeYouNT]

we have a lot less USC fans then we did several years ago.

several years ago it was clarkson and doom. Unless you are talking ESPN days.

Utah and @ASU as wins for the huskies? Not this year.
@OSU makes it a smidge harder but still think UW gets that one.
If WSU is at all improved they will be a tough one even at home.
This really could go anywhere from 0-12 to 6-6. I have a hard time believing they do better than that. Even Sac State was a 7-5 team, if they return enough starters and stars they could give UW a test coming off Boise win or lose.

 

[Olyduck]

keeton healthy plus some other talent. Sharp at WR and Natson(tho i think he got hurt or left the team or something I cant remember)
they got som all conference defense talent in Nick Vigil, Kyler Fackrell and Jordan Nielson up front. Devin Centers and Jalen Davis in the secondary.

 

[SUBuddha]

The worst/best part for Stanford is they have no patsies on the schedule. Open at Northwestern, then UCF at home before heading to USC. The secondary should have been tested before they get to USC at the very least.

Kyrin Priester will not have to sit out after transferring from Clemson to Washington State, where he should make an immediate impact for the Cougars.

WSU coach Mike Leach said last Wednesday that the school filed an appeal on Priester's behalf to the NCAA, asking them to waive the typical requirement that transfers between FBS schools sit for one season. It is like that the Cougars requested a "run-off waiver," which the NCAA occasionally grants to athletes that have been told they are no longer welcome at their former school.

Leach noted that the appeal was likely to be granted because Priester's case was similar to those of other athletes who petitioned to have the requirement waived.

Priester was dismissed by Clemson following the 2014 season, but it appears that Tigers coach Dabo Swinney and his staff don't hold any grudges, since one of the stipulations for granting the waiver is that the former school provide documentation supporting the athlete.

Now that Priester can play, the already-deep WSU receiving corps could be one of the country's best. Priester was considered an elite wide receiver prospect coming out of high school, and he has been one of WSU's best players since he arrived for spring practices last year.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound receiver from Brookwood, Georgia, routinely makes difficult catches in practice and his combination of speed and natural strength often leads to big plays once he has the ball in his hands. In practice he has received reps as a kick returner, as well.

During WSU's preseason camp, Priester routinely ran as the No. 2 X receiver behind Dom Williams. Williams, a senior, is likewise expected to contribute heavily this fall. Whoever starts, expect both Priester and Williams to be among WSU's most-targeted receivers this fall.
