PAC12 once again...eating its own
USC over Utah 35-17 in the third?
If this goes on and Washington somehow beats Stanford I'm just packing it in.

Re: PAC12 once again...eating its own
The oddsmakers called it...weird line in that game. A unbeaten top 5 team being an underdog to a 3-3 team with an interim coach?
Re: PAC12 once again...eating its own
I think I'm getting spoiled.
A 31 - 14 win and they put up 478 total yards, eating up over 40 min of clock, against the conference's "best defense," but for some reason it just didn't seem that impressive.
The defense only gave up 14 points and 231 yards, but they were playing mostly against freshmen. Still wouldn't be too surprised to see an "L" next to Oregon or Notre Dame.
More insecure than spoiled, I think.
That being said, how fast is McCaffrey? The safety had all sorts of angle on this TD and whiffed by about a yard.
Maybe just unexpected speed?

Fournette and Booker get all the Heisman hype, but McCaffrey had 300 all purpose yards and made it look easy. He's a chip off the old block.Mikey wrote: That being said, how fast is McCaffrey? The safety had all sorts of angle on this TD and whiffed by about a yard.

Re: PAC12 once again...eating its own
While McCaffrey is having a great year, he's racked up a whole buncha garbage-time yards, while Founette has assumed his rightful place on the bench during those times.Atomic Punk wrote: Fournette and Booker get all the Heisman hype, but McCaffrey had 300 all purpose yards and made it look easy.

McCaffrey sat out the entire fourth quarter vs. UCLA, his biggest game so far. His 243 rushing came in three quarters. He also had no fourth quarter carries vs. Zona.Dinsdale wrote:While McCaffrey is having a great year, he's racked up a whole buncha garbage-time yards, while Founette has assumed his rightful place on the bench during those times.Atomic Punk wrote: Fournette and Booker get all the Heisman hype, but McCaffrey had 300 all purpose yards and made it look easy.

Re: PAC12 once again...eating its own
From what I've seen, McCaffrey is having a huge year. My vote would go to Fournette.

At this point, so would mine. But I guess there are a few games left.Goober McTuber wrote:From what I've seen, McCaffrey is having a huge year. My vote would go to Fournette.

Re: PAC12 once again...eating its own
If I had a Heisman vote, McCaffrey would get bonus points for doing what he is doing while being Caucasian.
Re: PAC12 once again...eating its own
Damn.
That was close.
Played pretty shitty for most of the game but got the W. It counts.

McCaffrey's Heisman hopes now = not happening now white man.

There might not be one clear dominant team, but the PAC is turning out to be quite the meatgrinder this season.
Hell, toss out Oregon State and Colorado, and it's pretty nasty top-to-bottom. Stanford appears to be the best team, but I'm not even sure. The conference championship is totally up for grabs, although Furd is clearly the clubhouse leader at this point. And I don't know what to make of the South -- Utah? UCLA? Zona? USC?
Next few weeks are going to be awesome for Pac fans. I don't see Oregon making the CCG (but sure could), but I have a hunch they're going to piss in a couple of the hopefuls' Cheerios along the way.

Stanford would have to lose two of their final three conference games, at Colorado then Oregon and Cal at home, not to get to the CCG.Dinsdale wrote:There might not be one clear dominant team, but the PAC is turning out to be quite the meatgrinder this season.

Can't really see that happening, but it's not out of the question. Hopefully they can leave last night behind - I think they weren't ready for the weather or Wazzou's strategy of taking McCaffrey out of the game. Hogan couldn't seem to find his receivers in the wind and rain and, when he did, they didn't want to catch it. When they finally caught on and used McCaffrey as a decoy they started moving the ball.
Utah/Stanford would make a great match-up seeing as how they aren't playing in the regular season. Not sure I'd want a rematch with USC at this point, they seem to be vastly improved without Sark.

That's what my math tells me, as well.Mikey wrote: Stanford would have to lose two of their final three conference games, at Colorado then Oregon and Cal at home, not to get to the CCG.
And I don't see them losing to CU.
@ Autzen... who knows. But with two high-octane offenses going against two mediocre-on-their-best-day defenses (I'm being generous), I'm pretty sure there will be a ton of scoring.
And Stanford has dealt with more shitty weather than Oregon (by a factor of infinity). We'll see how that works out.
