12 Pac Review: Ducks, Bears, Wildcats and Tree look impressive. Huskies lose on the road... again.

PrintUtah 27 vs Pitt 24 (OT) - A future member of the Pac 12 got off to a great start to the 2010 season as the Utes knocked off #15 ranked Pittsburgh at home on Thursday night. A game that saw a lot of errors by both teams seemed destined to finish with another as Pitt's kicker missed a FG that would have tied the game, only to find out he was going to get another shot at it because Wittingham had called a last second time out. Pitt ended up throwing an INT on their first possession of OT, and Utah played it safe kicking the game winning FG.
USC 49 at Hawaii 36 - While the USC offense and specifically Matt Barkley looked impressive, the fact that their defense gave up 36 points and 588 total yards to Hawaii should be alarming to Trojan fans. I'm sure that they will improve as the season progresses considering they have a number of players that were seeing the field for the first time, but you have to wonder if a Pete Carroll coached USC would be satisfied with letting a 2nd and 3rd string WAC QB pick apart their secondary.
Arizona 41 vs Toledo 2 - Nick Foles and Arizona dismantled a MAC team as he went 32/37 for 360 yards and 2 TD's. Juron Criner is an absolute stud and had one of the best catches of the weekend that bounced off his knee before he hauled it in on his back. Nic Grigsby only rushed for 53 yards as it looks like Arizona will be using their pass happy offense again this season.
UCLA 22 at Kansas St 31 - It looks like the losses up front for the Bruins may be greater than a lot of people expected as UCLA ended up allowing 313 yards rushing to KSU. Prince was his usual inaccurate self going 9/26 and throwing 2 interceptions. UCLA needs to get it together quickly as they enter Pac 10 play next weekend against Stanford.
Colorado 24 vs Colorado St 3 - CU got off to a good start with a win over it's in-state rival Colorado St at Invesco Field in Denver. Tyler Hansen went 17/25 for 192 yards and two touchdowns, but it was Scotty McKnight's day as he became CU's all time leader in career receptions.
Oregon 72 vs New Mexico 0 - Be honest, you wanted to see 100 points, didn't you? Defense looks good, Kenjon Barner is flat out awesome (5 TDs) and the only controversy coming out of this game is whether or not Cliff Harris did enough to secure returning every kick. Ok, well at least that's my point of view.
Cal 52 vs UC Davis 3 - Not much you can tell from beating up on an FCS doormat like UC Davis, but couple things really stick out from the box score. Riley had an efficient two plus quarters of play going 14/20 for 258 yards and 3 scores. Shane Vereen picked up 67 yards, as I am sure Tedford opted to pull him early as well. But the biggest eye opener has to come from the debut of Freshman Keenan Allen who caught 4 passes for 120 yards and also rushed 3 times for another 38. Safe to say this kid is going to be something to deal with this season.
Stanford 52 vs Sacramento St 17 - To me it's simple, Luck is better than Locker. I know this week's game is not one to compare the two QB's considering who they each were playing, but I'm not sold on Locker's ability to make the right reads, throw an accurate ball, or even lead a team consistently. Luck has been impressive since the beginning of last year. Sure he had a great RB and still has a huge offensive line, but he has just as much athletic ability (only he doesn't need to show it because he's also smart) and is able to read a defense and make good throws. I'm just glad both have to come into Autzen to play this year.
Washington St 17 at Oklahoma St 65 - Come on Wazzu, I'm not saying you have to beat Okie St, but that is just embarrassing. While WSU's offense looks better this season, as long as Tuel stays healthy, the defense is just plain miserable. This was definitely a game that Wulff needed the team to look focused and ready to compete, I wonder who Moos already has on his speed dial.
Washington 17 at BYU 23 - What can I say, another road game for the huskies, another loss. It's possible that Locker will go 3 plus seasons and not win a road game (still have @USC, @UA, @OR, @Cal, and @WSU left). The huskies managed 0 points in the second half, as Locker finished 20/37 for 266 yards. Husky fans have obviously given up their Heisman hopes, but with the road games they have as well as OSU and Stanford coming into UW, it might be time for them to consider giving up their bowl games hopes too.
Oregon St 21 vs TCU 30 - Valiant effort by the Beavers playing in what was pretty much a home game against a highly ranked TCU. Ryan Katz was thrown straight into the fire against a very good team as a red shirt freshman. It's pretty obvious that the Rodger's brothers are still the entire offense as James had 75 yards receiving and Jacquizz had 75 rushing, but TCU controlled the clock and almost doubled OSU's time of possession keeping both of them on the sideline where they couldn't do much damage.
Arizona St 54 vs Portland St 9 - If ASU drops 54 on Portland St, how many is Oregon going to put up? 75? 100? 6538? There's been lots of talk of Erickson's job being on the line this year, so warm up games against PSU and then Northern Arizona may be just what the doctor ordered for them. We'll know more about ASU's offense when they go to Camp Randall to take on Wisconsin in two weeks before heading home to take on the Ducks.

Its nice that Barner got mentioned but how long will he be able to be on the watch list now that James is going to be back? I think I read that Kelly plans on playing them both a lot but you would think most of it is still going to go to James.
At the postgame reception in the Pittman Room in the Cas yesterday Chip told the room that “I don’t believe the NCAA has a rule against playing with 2 running backs, so, yeah, I’m putting Kenjon and LaMichael both on the field as much as I can”
The O is the new U
i love his responses to stupid questions. i bet it was like “with LMJ coming back, do you think you can still use Barner?”

California has a three tier college system
Set up way back in ‘60 by Governor Pat Brown. It basically ensures that every person has a right to a college education. It just doesn’t say how good of one.
The first level is community college. You are assured of entrance if you graduate HS (or have a GED) but you have to transfer as you can only get an AA from here. If you get your AA you are guaranteed entrance to a full school in either the 2nd or 1st tier but which one you get into depends on your talent.
The second tier is the California State University system (CSU). They’re your typical “state college” versions. Famous ones include: Cal Poly (x2 one in SLO and one in Pomona), CSU Bakersfield, Fresno St, San Jose St, Chico (the drunk school), Humboldt St, CSU Long Beach, etc.
The top tier is the University of California system. They are meant to be top flight research institution and is considered one of the best public university system in the world with numerous Nobel laureates, inventions, patents and esteemed alumni. The schools include (in order of date founded): UC Berkeley, UC SF (med school only), UC Hastings (located in SF – law school only), UC Davis (was primarily an agriculture and wine making school), UC Santa Barbara (“university of casual sex and beer”), UCLA, UC Riverside, UCSD, UC Irvine, UC Santa Cruz (the new Berkeley) and UC Merced.
See: California Master Plan for Higher Education
In other words, Go Bears!

Be honest, you wanted to see 100 points, didn’t you?
I’ll admit that crossed my mind.
I’ve been trying to figure out how much of a jump we will make in the rankings, because some of the teams ahead of us didn’t have good games.
We could do that to PSU

They are generally a pretty pesky team that wont go away when we play them. I am no longer very worried about UCLA. KSU sucks (and honestly, I am amazed that KSU didn’t do everything in their power to drop this game, and schedule New Mexico instead)
UW proved that they weren’t as good as a few crazy people in the media thought they might be. That’s nice.

Is anyone else slightly embarassed about the Pac 10 performance?
I went in to this weekend thinking how great of an opportunity the Pac-10 had to showcase the conference with some decent wins against AQ opponents. But…
UCLA lost to a middle of the road KSU team – their offense looked putrid.
WSU made OkSt’s offense look like Oregon’s.
UW with all the “Heisman” hype and genius Sarkisian couldn’t score more than 17 points on BYU?! And lost to a team that lost both Max Hall and Unga.
OSU had a good showing and yes they played against a strong TCU team with a redshirt freshman at QB, but still lost yet another big game.
It doesn’t help the Pac-10 to follow up a miserable bowl season with an 0-4 start against AQ conferences.
PANIC.

Without looking it up, I’d bet that the PAC 10 played the toughest schedule. TCU, Oklahoma State, BYU, and K-State aren’t exactly cupcakes. Only K-State isn’t either ranked or listed in “others receiving votes”, and that was a road game. I doubt any other conference scheduled that way. Plus, the Big 12 and SEC both has schools lose to FCS teams. That will probably be remembered more than the PAC 10’s weekend.
That being said, we would look really good if we had gone 2-2, 3-1, or 4-0 in those tough games. It can do you some big time favors as a conference when you schedule those types of games if you win them.
And in the Yell-O corner, with a 2009 conference record of 8 wins, 1 loss...the REIGNING...DEFENDING...UNDISPUTED Champions of the PAC TEN...the Oregon Ducks!

Good week for another Oregon Icon
Per John Wilner,
4) I thought Mike Bellotti was very good on the UCLA-Kansas State broadcast — insightful, concise, coherent.
It was the equivalent of a 72-0 victory.
If I had remembered he was on I’d have watched more of the broadcast.
From what I heard he was pretty good. He was with two other guys — I think Jesse Palmer was the other color guy, but whoever it was, he was the typical asshat.

Based off of that tweet,
It sounds to me like Barner and Harris will be splitting return reps. Harris must have REALLY pissed the coaches if TJ3 still has a shot to return punts after Harris’ performance against UNM.

Thomas doesn't like to run the ball very much, not like Masoli!
Thank god! Hey Masoli might have been a good runner, but he is nowhere in the same universe as James and Barner. That just means that the ball will be in the hands of our homerun threats more often. I see Oregon leading the nation in scoring. Looks like another year with 2 backs over 1000 yards. I wouldn’t be surprised if LaMichael James gets close to 2000.
I think it was mainly an issue of making the right reads.
the NM weakside end really stayed home. When CK said that NM didn’t want him to run, he meant it. Thomas didn’t run because he made the right read.

Maybe UCLA beats USC this year. It would be hilarious if Kiffin dropped to 0-2 against them.
Can Abbrederis shoot the long three and effectively distribute the ball to his big men?

the most fun rationale at TDP for the Fuskie loss is:
a) Sark the Magic Play-Caller now sucks as a play-caller
b) Jack Locker plays much better at home then on the road so at least they’ll beat the Trees
c) the referees were 100% one-sided for the home team
d) BYU happens to be a Mormon school which means they’re players are older and more mature which isn’t fair cuz it’s like men playing against boys

Right. It’s not as though items © and (d) could not have been anticipated before the game.
This should be a fun season, watching the delusional Whelp Nation symbolically chasing cars and licking itself.

d) Which explains why Utah has been to the BCS twice, TCU once, and BYU never.

I’m sure the maturity has benefits for BYU. But an “unfair advantage?” Please.

the strict behavior code also has advantages. you play much better when not hung over i’ve heard.

Didn’t they have a 28 year old running back with an impossibly long name who was actually drafted a while back?

The Titans got Ahmard Hall (our starting FB) out of Texas at age 27. He served in the Marine Corps before playing college football.

Did anyone watch the fuskies? I’m watching the replay right now on CBS C(ollege). Man did they ever have their chances to win this game.
And in the Yell-O corner, with a 2009 conference record of 8 wins, 1 loss...the REIGNING...DEFENDING...UNDISPUTED Champions of the PAC TEN...the Oregon Ducks!
…and the playcalling…wow. After a completion for a first down on 3rd and long, then a pass down the middle for like 30+ yards, they are at the 30 with 3 minutes left. Sark calls 2 straight runs up the middle, then a QB draw to get to 4th and long. It seems almost like he was overly-confident that they were going to score and didn’t want to score too fast, but if you are at the 30-ish yard line you have to get a little closer before you start worrying about scoring too fast. You might want to score first.

Stunned to hear there are still Vols-Oregon tickets available. Nonetheless, if you’re interested, there are some left.
