12 Pac Review: UCLA stuns, Oregon State looks blue, Ducks and Tree set to meet on Gameday

Print1a. Oregon 42 at Arizona State 31 - At the end of the season we may look back on this win as being one that turned out to be better then we thought. ASU didn't look anything like they did last year as they were ready to play in the heat, and came right after the Ducks on both sides of the ball. It will be interesting to see how many teams try and copy the Sun Devil game plan of selling out to stop James and making Thomas beat you with his arm and legs... hold on this paragraph is taking too long and my keyboard has cramps and I'll need to stop for a while. Speaking of which, I hope Vontaze Burfict is feeling better.
1b. Stanford 37 at Notre Dame 14 - I struggled with whether or not to put Stanford #1 considering what UCLA just did to Texas, at least we'll have a clear #1 after the upcoming week when the Tree heads into what should be a very hostile Autzen stadium. For all the accolades being given to Luck, look at his line against a mediocre ND defense compared to Thomas against ASU:
Luck - 19/32 238 yards 1TD and 2 INT
Thomas - 19/33 260 yards 2 TD and 1 INT
Biggest factor between the two games was Oregon was 2-13 on third downs while Stanford was 11-16. Should be an interesting game no matter which way you look at it. Let the prognostications and talking heads commence.
3. Arizona 10 vs Cal 9 - Speaking of terrible 3rd down conversions Zona and Cal combined to go 6-26 on third down. That's a line even Jake Locker would be proud of. You had to think that Arizona might stumble coming off such an emotional win at home last week against Iowa, but I didn't think it would take them until the final minute of the game to score their only touchdown. Strong showing by the manic Cal Bears. I'm really interested to see how they respond as they take on UCLA at home next week, a game they really need to win if they have any hope of going bowling at the end of the year.
4. Oregon St 24 at Donkey St 37 - Probably nobody is happier to see the start of Pac 10 play than the Beavers who wrapped up their brutal OOC schedule by getting knocked around by Boise on that god-awful blue turf. They'll need to bounce back and hopefully get healthy this week as they're welcoming in ASU to Corvallis. I'm sure OSU is hoping that Vontaze Burfict hasn't fully recovered from his dives injuries.
5. USC 50 at WSU 16 - Washington St pulled a quick one on USC by adding the stupid pistol offense to their game this week and was able to go up 7 on USC. They were so excited to have a lead in a Pac 10 game that they forgot to play defense and Stanley Havili bounced outside and scored on a 59 yard touchdown run. Then Tuel threw a pick six, and I changed the channel.
6. Arizona State
7. UCLA 34 at Texas 12 - I don't know what to think about this. Is Texas that bad? Is UCLA good, and nobody knew it? How bad is Texas' rush defense when they only forced UCLA to throw 9 times for 27 yards... the entire game. This was really a stunner and I'd be inclined to move UCLA higher if it wasn't for the fact that they got shut out at home against Stanford and looked really bad against Kansas St. We'll know more this week when they take on Cal.
8. Cal
9. Washington - I talked to 20 people yesterday and only 4 were upset that UW didn't have a game.
10. Washington St
Utah 56 vs San Jose St 3 - Here's a talking point for you, which conference is worse, the WAC or the MWC? The WAC has Donkey St and Nevada, while the MWC has Utah and TCU, but other than that, there isn't a lot of strength in much else of the conference.

You guys Still aren't over the whole BSU thing? Donkey st?
You sound like Vandals, which is Not a good thing.
I have said this before on this blog but I’ll say it again: Most BSU fans like and respect Oregon, including myself, and its too bad that it can’t be reciprocated.
We beat you twice, We get more media attention, We are ranked higher, and yes We are in the WAC. Get Over It.
Note: I can Not figure out why Oregon jumped TCU this week.

I will say this though...
watching the game against OS, I was reminded of cheap shots. That is why I would like to see FBSU out of the NC conversation. That, and you don’t have to face the guantet. Sorry, every week is going to be scary in the Pac except we we play WAC wannabe WAZZU.
I'll correct you on one thing
We get more media attention
You’ve gotten more media attention, but now that your football season is over no one will pay attention to anything that happens in Boise unless you lose. We on the other hand will start to play really really good competition on a weekly basis and people will actually care.

Yes, we are in the WAC. I covered that, didnt I? If you look at the SOS as of this week I believe Boise has the toughest of any ranked team.
I am not here to argue SOS, where we are ranked, or if we should be in the national championship.

yeah … it doesn’t read the way I meant it … my bad
they ARE good, but not good enough to go undefeated in the Pac-10 or Big 10 or Big 12 or SEC … probably not the ACC … maybe the Big East
We probably wouldn't go undefeated
you are right. But to make the BCS in the Pac-10 we wouldn’t have to go undefeated…
Boise State Football: The Tim Tebow of 2010: Love 'em or Hate 'em, you've gotta Respect 'em.
true, but this is why people are so tired of your team and your team’s fans … you act like going undefeated year after year in the WAC is worthy of something … if you want to be worthy, play 6 or 7 tough games
Echo...
We can’t help our conference. Our academics dont match our football team. period. We cant even dream of joining the Pac-10. We can only beat who we can play… we did set up the conferences or the fact we are a communter state school.
I would love it if we had the chance to prove it, maybe a playoff…

obviously, a playoff would settle all issues
and is really what is needed. It solves BSU’s perennial access problem, but doesn’t allow them an opportunity to play for a title without being thoroughly tested.

fine then
you take the AQ champs, and any undefeated non-AQ champ gets an invite, so long as they have a win over an AQ team. If a highly ranked at large gets left out, sorry, but you should have won your conference. Don’t feel bad if teams that aren’t conference winners get left out.

Let's say the Big East champ is 9-3.
And wins all their conference games. Would they really deserve one of those playoff spots, over say an 11-1 team from the Big-12?

again
and this is just my opinion, the Big 12 team should have taken care of that by winning their conference. Not feeling bad for them. They had their chance. Its still more access than the BCS.
You’re not going to get a playoff without a guaranteed spot for all AQ conference winners.
--Dave

That's the problem. A playoff is just not manageable when you have 119 teams in a league.
I mean, even the NFL doesn’t have it right, when Seattle could have went 6-10 this year and still ended with a 4 seed in the playoffs, and they have a close to perfect system.

funny
every other division of NCAA football manages it just fine. I personally like a 16 team playoff, but that’s just me. People bitch about being left out of the NCAA basketball tournament. But there comes a point where it become irrelevant. Only letting two teams is is clearly not sufficient.

every other division of NCAA football doesn't have billions of dollars on the line.
And I’m fine with whatever. But I believe the thing that makes college football great is the passion, and adding a playoff takes a bit of that away.

instead of 64 teams having a postseason game, only 16 would. And instead of having 32 tv contracs for postseason games, they’d have one or two.

I'm not going to get into an argument about semantics.
The bottom line is that the system now in place, although much improved from days long ago, is still very flawed. A playoff system may not be the perfect answer, but it would be vastly better than what is currently in place. You argue this point and your doing it just to hear yourself talk.

Wrestling
Isn’t BSU in the Pac 10 for wrestling? I think so. I would love to see BSU in the Pac 10 for football too. It would be a great rivalry game to add to:
1) UW
2) OSU
3) USC
4) (insert here BSU)
That would be cool.
I would LOVE
to be in the PAC-10. I have always loved the PAC. BSU is in the pac-10 because the WAC doesnt have wrestling.
Actually… they are pretty successful too. Granted, its hardly what I think of as the PAC-10
Boise State Football: The Tim Tebow of 2010: Love 'em or Hate 'em, you've gotta Respect 'em.
Yes
BSU has an outstanding wrestling team. Bastards down here took that from Oregon. Now only the Beavers have a wrestling team. Oregon has had in the past a very rich tradition in wrestling.

I would love a playoff, I think most football fans would
But, I always read on football blogs, your fellow BSU fans saying that you can’t schedule good OOC games because no one wants to do a home-and-home with you guys … this is ridiculous, OF COURSE THEY DON’T WANT TO!
If you guys would simply take the one-and-done match-ups, then maybe you’d get more respect.
For instance, last year your OOC match-ups were: UO, Miami (Ohio), Bowling Green, UC Davis, Tulsa. That’s 5 OOC games … 5 … and yet you guys only used 1 of them to prove yourselves but then still whined about not being in the BCS Championship game. Seriously, if your conference is so bad (and it is) then your OOC match-ups should all be AQ schools … then you would have 5 legit wins possible, and if you won all 5 of those games, you’d have an argument to belong in the BCS Championship game. As it is though, with 1 AQ team, 3 non-AQ teams and 1 FBS team, you didn’t go out of your way to blemish your record.
I hear you Echo
Trust me, I wasnt scheduling UC Davis. Although, the excuse was that game was done because it was considered our “13th” game. Miami OH was decent when we scheduled them, although they were not AQ anyway.
I dont think many BSU fans were mad about not getting into the NC game last year. Hell, we were lucky to make the BCS period.
Boise State Football: The Tim Tebow of 2010: Love 'em or Hate 'em, you've gotta Respect 'em.
I know it isn’t you scheduling the games, and having too many away games sucks for raising revenue, but if you guys want respect you have to go earn it … schedule a Pac-10 team at home and then go play Florida or Penn State or something (not you, your AD)
Like Florida would agree to that.

What do you think of Kelly Mullens & Co. calling up BSU for a game next year?
The ducks have that hole in our schedule now that we can’t play Utah as an OOC game. Scheduling a one game series with BSU would seem to make sense for both sides. We fill our hole, they can drop one of their non-AQ OOC opponents to get another shot at doing some resume building.
Plus I would really love to watch Oregon get its revenge and be the first team to knock off Boise in forever. The Boise games in recent memory just don’t sit well.

Yes
I agree, I don’t think my fellow Ducks are trying to say BSU is not a good team. We be fooling ourselves if we thought/ said that. They are pretty damned good, but just not tested. We have USC, ZONA, The Tree, and OSU that are all ranked, teams we will have to face. It will not be easy, and I doubt seriously that BSU would survive those teams without at least one loss.
if BSU was in an AQ conference, at least the fans would be humbled when they lose several games a year
So what are you arguing?
That I called you Donkey St? Really? That’s your problem? Sorry, if someone needs to get over it, it’s not me. I “sports” hate your school for many reason (most of which are outlined by others below). Just don’t get your panties in a bunch because of my hate for your school and I called it Donkey St.
I hate the fuskies and the Bavers too, and I don’t feel like apologizing to them for calling them that either.

Nevada
Is going to be a tough game. I watched the Nevada & Cal game and was somewhat suprised by the outcome. I’ve been following Nevada a little bit because my son was there for his freshman year before transferring out to BSU. Colin Kapernick is growing in the Pistol Offense and is really coming into his own as a player. They are hungry and there defense isn’t half bad either. BSU will be tested.
The unexpectedly charming random capitalization was a bit spoilt by the asinine "Get Over It"
which smelt just a tad of overweening arrogance. I don’t know you, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. You might want to consider for a moment, perhaps, there’s a little more than a loss to you that perhaps irks us? I dare say most Boise St fans are fine people. After all, every fanbase has its share of immature nuisances and unpleasant trolls.
But read over your subject line and the rest of your post. You’re not falling into the bucket you might expect.

I hate Boise State
I hate that we lost two games two you, both of which left a bitter taste in my mouth. I hate that Boise State is dirty (the James Rodgers hit further confirmed that in my mind yesterday). I hate that their fans think they deserve a NC shot when they only play one or two teams a year. I hate, hate, hate the fucking blue turf. And I’ve had bad experiences with a lot of your fanbase. Trust me, its ceratinly not out of jealousy, whatever past results or rankings are, we’re still twice the program BSU is. Look at our hatred as a compliment. If somebody hates you, at least you’re relevant. More than can be said for your little brothers on the Palouse.

fair enough...
But the hit on James wasn’t the cheap one. The punches away from the play were the cheap ones, which I hope the player is punished for it…
And if we can’t even be considered, no matter what we do, to play for the big one… then why even play? Why should we even be considered D-1? Do i think an undefeated BSU team should be in the NC game? I dont know… but I think ANY team that has won all of their games should at least have a chance to play. this is just coming back to the playoff thing…

Obviously, the playoff is the answer
I share your frustration on the access issue. Its the problem of only having two slots availiable., With only two slots availiable, IMO, a major conference school has to have two losses to make up for the SOS gap, its just that vast.

explain to me how spearing someone in what clearly was an intentional matter is n't cheap
"Suck it CaDuck!" --Matt Daddy
Katz was two yards short of a first down
Right on the other side of James…. Venable’s intent was not to hurt James. He wasnt going to run around him just when he wasnt looking because he was afraid of hurting him. On 3rd and 2 you dont run around blocks, you run through them. He considered James a blocker, knew he had help if he could make any sort of pile or slow Katz up. There was no ill-intent on that play.
Boise State Football: The Tim Tebow of 2010: Love 'em or Hate 'em, you've gotta Respect 'em.
not only did he lead with his helmet
he was bent over the whole time looking for it

Yes he did
but a lot of guys lead with their helmets. It doesnt mean they are all trying to hurt people.
bad form? certainly. ill intent? no.

Every kickoff… not many college football players tackle with perfect form.

As well coached as BSU is...
I am sure that guys like Venables and Jeron Johnson aren’t getting thrown out of games due to poor form. I remember watching Venables throwing himself head first into Fresno State’s qb last year and the commentators wondering how he wasn’t thrown out. Certain guys on your team seem to be perpetrators of the the same thing.

I think Chris Petersen is a good coach, and a good guy, but I really hate how he handles his team. He’s like the “gee golly” version of Erickson.

Wait… are you saying that if we spliced Erickson’s DNA with Riley’s we’d get Petersen?
Should Chris Petersen be coaching at OSU then?

It doesn't matter
if the intent was to harm or not. Leading with the head is something that should be flagged for everytime. Let’s be clear BSU players in the past have had a history of helmet to helmet contact. Did you see James’ face? He didn’t know where he was at.
Im not arguing he shouldn't have been flagged
Im arguing that Venable didnt try to hurt James on purpose. A flag wouldn’t have bothered me.

I know
but I have no doubt as to his intent. I watched it and it was the intent to harm. It was no accident, just saying…..
Oh, you mean like this?
Ugh...
I cannot go to OBNUG anymore. I just can’t. The comments I’ve read there over the last few days… I… just can’t.
Kevan Lee is great, and a couple of their commenters are great people, but the amount of, disrespectful, arrogant, shameless – for a lack of better word – assholes is just too great.
I’ve never seen a group of people be so arrogant and still hold such a level of victim-mentality.
It only took a span of three years for me to love their fans and their program to complete disdain. If UW was more relevant, I would probably dislike them more than BSU, but they just haven’t been bowl eligible in too long of a time to have an active hatred.
We all want to imagine our players are good natured people and will play dirty. But even I’ll admit every once in a while when an Oregon player pulls some BS.
They are truly trying to defend the undefendable, like it is their obligation. And this has happened over, and over, and over. Even people not associated with Oregon or Oregon State have pointed it out before.
I don’t want to play Boise State ever again, and it isn’t out of fear of losing, or fear of their program. It’s that I honestly have had enough of their bullshit.
Fuck Boise State. Go Colin Kaepernick.

No apology needed—I’m in a similar place with them, and it’s not because of losing to them.

Note: I can Not figure out why Oregon jumped TCU this week.
It’s because TCU is a good team in a horrible conference.
Have fun in that conference. You folks deserve it.
I think it’s more because none of the voters actually watched our game, saw in the morning that we scored 42 points and had 7 turnovers, and figured we played really well.

Welcome to the club, Cody Ross. You can stay at my house.
Oregon jumped TCU
Because Oregon beat a far superior team. That’s why. Most of America can see that…. even the AP and Coaches see it, and voted accordingly. The only people that don’t see it or understand it live in a TCU bubble.
As for the Donkey St. comment your mascot looks like a donkey and not a bronco. The graphics on the BSU helmet and the blue turf looks like a bronco.
I just told you why
The person dressed up and running around in that costume looks more like a donkey/ jack ass/ ass or whatever you want to call it. it doesn’t look like a bronco. Get it now?
at least you've given me an answer. Thank you

Let's be honest here...
the BCS system has been very kind to BSU, NC game withstanding. The team gets to beat one or two teams from AQ conference and gets a fat BCS paycheck. This will be the second year in a row.
Actually
BSU recieved less money than Duke, Baylor, or any other bottom of the barrel AQ team recieved from hanging on coat tails because of the way its distributed and BSU was considered the 2nd non-AQ team. Not to mention, some BS thing was set up that says all non-AQ conferences share the rev…
Boise State Football: The Tim Tebow of 2010: Love 'em or Hate 'em, you've gotta Respect 'em.
let me re-do that post
I am not 100% sure that those teams recieved more money because of their conference affiliation than BSU did last year, thats just what I’m told. I do know tho that we received less than every other school in a BCS game though

When the MWC raids the scraps of the Big 12 in a few years and becomes an AQ conference,

Just giving them more attention.

more attention for what?
are the pollsters reading ATQ comments? Do you think that ATQ has the power to put them in the NC game?
We’ll be discussing Stanford plenty. But judging from the commenters, I’d say you’re being outvoted.

Ever hear the old saying:
“Paybacks are a bitch”? Listen, there D isn’t any better than last year. Yes the did pitch a shutout to UCLA but we were pretty much moving the ball at will on them last year. I don’t see it being any different this year. We won’t have to deal with Toby this year(thankfully) and Andrew Luck can be pressured into mistakes. If a weak ND defense can do that then surely our D can. DT did ok but he will need to improve his accuracy. I think the heat down in the desert did have more affect on the players than we are lead to believe. Did you see how sloppy the 2nd half was? It will not be that way come next week. Bank on that. Also, do you remember what happened the last time ESPN Game Day showed up to Autzen? Yeah, that’s right….. it WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. No worries here bring on the friggin’ tree and the Ducks will cut them down like a Stihl chainsaw going through a defenseless fir tree.
Yes.
Here are additions from my list:
1) no five wide receiver sets.
2) add beef on the dline with polynesians and bigger taylor/bair
3) we got a bad game out of our system.
I agree
We didn’t play like we KNOW that we can, but played well enough to win. The ASU D is very tough and physical, and Stanford’s isn’t. If ever there is a game that Chip “runs” the score up, then it’s this one. In doing so, we will put everyone in the Pac 10 on notice. Did you see the ND game? Looked like Stanford was relying on their TE a lot. ND is weak.
Right now on campus you can hear the sorrows of 7000 pissed off freshman.

You were one of the lucky ones that learned how to use the system a few weeks ago for other games. All of us were frantically yelling at each other trying to figure out what to do. Then all of the damn blank screens started popping up. And that was that.

It sounds like there are plusses and minuses.
But it’s really a shame that they’ve eliminated the possibility for students who really, really, really want a ticket to camp out and assure themselves of getting one.
Hey CaDuck
Do the frosh still get tickets at 6:00? I know the grad students do, so if you guys do as well then it’s safe to assume that everyone does. If everyone still gets their tickets at 6:00, then someone needs to be bludgeoned with a 2×4, because that is THE WORST POSSIBLE IDEA IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER. (And it’s totally avoidable, to boot!)

rookie mistake CaDuck
Dont use the Dorm internet to get tickets. Everyone is logging on through the same network and it bogs it down. Find someone off campus (like quinn) and use their internet or have them do it for you. Works every time.
Go Ducks.....Ducks Go!!!!!
That rumor started floating around, and makes sense.
I will definitely try to get off campus next time, or have someone help me out.

im a senior
dont live on campus, have fast internet. logged on to ticket website at 4pm. clicked on stanford game starting at 6:55, tickets not available message until 7:00 and about 15 seconds. typed in code marked my one seat. not even 7:01 and i got the no tickets available. senior tickets sold out message. then i was mad and tried buying a sro, what do you know, sold out too. too bad i cant afford the 300% mark up for resale tickets.

"I have a commanding voice." - Ed Orgeron
They offered a season ticket package to students,
6 games for 200 bucks. But considering that most of us aren’t around for the first two games, the package isn’t too practical for many of us.
Self anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
and if you want to use the c card
student season tickets dont count. so if you have a wife you want to take to a game you cant. next year its fuck the wife and seaon tickets for me. hopefully nevada finishs the year strong(beats bs) then wash st is the only garbage home game and by next year they should be at least a 2 win team

I think your rankings reflect how I suppose each team would come out in a neutral field setting
Based on resume, I’d have to jump Stanford, USC, and UCLA each one spot (or half a spot for Stanford) though. USC might not be doing it pretty , but they haven’t lost. Oregon State did schedule tough OOC opponents, but it hasn’t performed in those games.

We'll know more after Saturday
I fear the Ducks aren’t nearly as good as advertised.
How well they perform against Stanford will either confirm or disprove my suspicions..
before or after asu advertisement?
I think the defense is good but got far too much credit for being 1 and 1 in yards and points against. I expect to see a lot more asu defense (give up yards, but cause turnovers) and now all i hear is that oregons offense can be stopped so you think they are worse then a stoppable offense and a defense that gives up a ton of yards I hope your suspicions are far from correct and FBSU
