2013 Pac-12 Football Thread

I am insane then.  I can't help it.

I do not believe that will beat USC or any other team this year.

Consider this: our defense was suspect to start with, and we've now lost 7 opening day starters to injury.

We have no push on offense and are not a threat to run. We can move pretty freely between the 20s,but it all comes to a screeching halt once we get there. It seems that if are to score a TD, it will come on a large pass play, and you just can't count on that.

Take a look at our passing yardage and our red zone offense. It's not pretty.

We have major personnel issues.

Unless Goff is hitting guys regularly for 35 yard strikes for TDs, you have no need to worry.

Great season so far, the best this conference has looked in awhile. 

 

1) Oregon

2) Stanford

3) UCLA

4) Washington

5) Oregon State

6) Utah

7) Arizona State

8) USC

9) Arizona

10) Washington State

11) Colorado

12) California

 

I could see the top 5 all actually shaking up quite a bit. I still think Stanford is the second best team in the conference, but Hogan hasn't progressed like I thought he would this year.

Oregon State's opening game is killing them. Had they not lost, they might be a top 15 team. Their defense can't stop a mobile QB. Mannion has put himself into Heisman talk

[nando714]

Pep Hamilton leaving might have effected Stanford more than we thought

We find out Saturday if UCLA is for real

Also big Udubb/ASU game this week. Go Dawgs

Always well coached

It's time to seek help. Beat 'furd!

[nando714]

I think Arizona State has the best offense in the conference. Yes over Oregon. They've been slowed down for 1 half all season vs Stanford. I think they have the best shot at beating Oregon bc their d line is physical and Oregon struggles against physical D lines.

Arizona St vs Oregon conference title game. I like ASU advancing to the Rose Bowl.

[nate]

They will lose their next three games.

[nando714]

They will lose their next three games.

Biggest test @ Utah. I believe they lead the conference in sacks. ASU's O Line is very underrated group imo. Not saying its going to be easy for them but Graham has them playing at a high level. Mike Norvell is awesome probably the best coordinator in the conference right now. I'd be shocked if they lost another game before the conference title game. Thats why they play the game though & barring major injury.

Edit- grammar error

Utah will shut down their offense.  They are a beast in Utah.  Oregon St has the best QB in the country and a very good D.  Bruins have the second best D in the conference and at that time a more experienced OL.

I really wouldn't mind that.

[nate]

Forget what I said about Oregon State's D... wow it is bad.

[nando714]

The Pac's marque match up tonight. Oregon @ Stanford. Who y'all got?

On paper it says Oregon rolls. Im going with Stanford to knock off the ducks again. If not Marriota wins the heisman tonight.

[nate]

I think Oregon wins pretty handily.

[m0nkey]

This is one boring ass game. Oregons defense can't get them off the field

[RallyMo]

I think Oregon wins pretty handily.

 

It's the weekly NKOD (Nate's Kiss of Death)!

[Bruce Nye]

Wow - I didn't see a 17-0 halftime score

[RallyMo]

Wow, this has been an impressive no show by the Ducks.

[nate]

Mariota not being able to run changes the Ducks offense completely.  Totally marginalizes them.  Combine that with Stanford having an excellent D and this is what happens.

It really is remarkable how often I couldn't be more wrong on my predictions.

 

Another reason I don't gamble.

[RallyMo]

USC will obliterate Cal. Book it.

 

 

Hell yeah!

[xboom28x]

Oregon proves to be pretenders once again.

[nate]

If UCLA and Stanford win out they face each other again in the P12 champ.

 

I think the Bruins will struggle to win out with the OL injuries.  Still have to play UW, ASU and USC.

[OregonLAA]

Another choke job by Oregon. I kind of like it. Oregon fans are unbearable. Most of my friends went straight to talking crisp about the Beavers after this game
