THE PAC12 Thread

[4down20]

One of the talking heads on ESPN said it looked like a typical high ankle sprain event, but I'm sure we'll not get any confirmation about it till early next week. Ducks are always extra tight lipped on any injuries.

If it's a low sprain, he could be back in 1-2 weeks, but high ankle sprains can last a lot longer. 4-6 weeks is the usual.

If he just tweaked it, he should be fine and prob just sit out the Colorado game.

They will need him for a high quality opponent like Colorado.

Why are you guys starting a JC transfer sr one year shot QB when it appears he is very one dimensional? I'm not slamming you, just asking a real question. Denker is a real head scratcher.

I doubt he lasts long as a starter... Javelle Allen is a freshman and he's next in line. He's also somewhat one dimensional (runs well) but he has a lot more upside. I've been lobbying for him to start since day 1. I guess Rich Rod just thought Denker was the "safe pick" for the time being. Idk.

 

[RegentDenali]

Denker sucks, and my team is going nowhere. I'll talk about basketball wherever the fuck I want!!! We've got a national title contender bitches!
Never categorize me with Denker, I'll put up a god damn fight if that's what you want Wizard!

Relax Francis. Your team is 3-1 and 8 more Pac games to go. Sky isn't falling.

If you are going to put a one dimensional QB in put the young guy in to give him more experience and see how much he can grow. There is no upside to Denker. We figured he wouldn't complete many passes when he came into this game with a 58% completion rate against 3 very bad defenses.

Next year we've got a 4 star QB coming in... Brandon Dawkins. Good size and arm strength... he'll have a chance to make a big impact for us. I think this team is a good QB away from being very competitive. Obviously it won't be easy to find a good QB but I think Dawkins will be the guy. So much potential.

5 Pac12 games this week and all were blow outs. Not one close game in the bunch. Had the other two played this week that game would have been one too.

I'm a realist... this team will be lucky to win 6 games with this dreadful QB play. We're too predictable offensively.

It's your defense that has held you back for years. That 3-3-5 isn't very impressive and isn't really geared for all of the uptempo offenses being implemented around the conference.

Tonight the weather actually favored your offense more as you are a one dimensional team anyway. UW wasn't able to play their balanced passing game in the first half. your d needs work.

Oh yeah, the defense is definitely a concern. They've actually improved a bit this year though, and next year's class has got me pretty excited. I think we'll keep improving defensively. In 2 years this team could be scary good (as long as Rich Rod keeps bringing in solid recruits). I've followed next year's class quite a bit and it's going to be one of the best in recent years for AZ by far. There's still a couple big fish out there considering us that could push us into the top 10 overall for 2014 recruiting. I just hate waiting.

 

[TheDayMan]

What was I thinking picking USC ...

 

[TheDayMan]

I suppose ASU still has some time to blow it.

it is what they do best, after all... they never make it easy

 

[yeodonie]

3-2 this week. I am not good at this. Figured Oregon would have a closer game and Colorado was better than what they are

 

[WizardHawk]

Stanford really not impressing me.

Stanford ended their game with 55 points on the road against WSU and right now Oregon has 55 points at home against Cal. Not impressed? Then Oregon is a pile of shit. Hell, even ASU scored more on USC than you did on Cal.

 

[OregonDucks]

UW next 3 games...WOW

Stanford, Oregon, Arizona State.

decent size possibility could lose the next 3 and just like that their season is a complete wash.

 

[TheDayMan]

I'm impressed with Stanford...

 

[OregonDucks]

Not with their overall body of work this year. Oregon wont have an issue.

Why do you obsess so much over UW and their schedule when, according to you, this isn't even a rivalry anymore due to 9 straight years of losing to Oregon? Really man, you are totally obsessive.

First of all I don't know of anyone who believes UW is a viable threat to taking the conference title. If that is true then their season isn't over even if they lost 3 in a row in coming weeks. There are plenty of things to play for in a season that isn't the NCG. You should be well aware of that since you all end up missing those targets more often than not.

Second anything can happen in the Pac on any given Saturday and it is far more likely they finish that stretch 1-2 than 0-3 and it isn't impossible for it to end 2-1. Your history of predicting games is suspect. I do believe you picked UW to lose badly to Boise already.

Who was talking over all? Look at tonight's games and tell me they weren't as impressive as Oregon. They ended with the same fucking score as your game AND WERE ON THE ROAD. Really man. Just really.

He's been in extra troll mode all day long. Don't take the bait.
