Pac-10 Wrap Up, Week 5

Well thanks to us, the Pac 10 ends the regular season with a 1-6 record against the MWC. I don't think there was anything too surprising this week, except maybe USC laying the wood to UO (come on guys, we all thought SC would win, but not one of you predicted it to be by 34 points, even you CV3000)

Oregon State 28-31 Utah

My Prediction: OSU 27-14 Utah

Well, I think this game has been talked about enough, so I'll just leave it at that. Go Beavs.

Notre Dame 28-21 Stanford

My Prediction: Notre Dame 33-28 Stanford

I guess nothing too surprising here except how flat Stanford came out to start the game. The 'Furds rush defense wasn't bad, holding them to 3.1 YPC, but their pass defense was AWFUL. Clausen threw for 347 yards, 3 TDs and zero interceptions. He absolutely tore apart the Stanford secondary. The offense didn't fare much better, turning the ball over 4 times. It looks like my predictions about Stanford to start the season were incredibly wrong.

Cal 24-14 ASU

My prediction: Cal 45-35 ASU

So this wasn't quite the shootout that most thought it was going to be, but Cal pretty much dominated this game. ASU didn't get anything going and Cal looked decent in the first half, not so much in the 2nd half. Not much else to say about this game, it was kind of a boring game.

Arizona 48-14 Washington

My Prediction: Arizona 45-13 Washington

I don't know how much closer I could have gotten with the prediction but I think it's what we all expected. I still don't think UA is that good, it was more of UW being that bad. Hopefully we find out what UA is all about soon. They still have yet to play anyone of worth and they have 1 loss on their record.

USC 44-10 Oregon

My Prediction: USC 30-17 Oregon

Sorry Duck fans. This is not going to be a very good review. Say what you will about Penn State, Stanford, or even Utah- but the Ducks looked awful. 60 yards rushing on 39 carries isn't very good for a team with one of the nations leading rushing offenses. LeGarrette Blount finished with 0 yards rushing. 0. USC looked like they were pissed off and playing for vengeance. They tore it up offensively, defensively, on special teams, coaching, and everything in between. The bright side for UO: forced 2 turnovers against a very good offense and it took USC nearly 40 carries to get to 155 yards rushing. I'm not going to sit here and bash the Ducks, because I know what will be said in the comments, but I'm just going to say they didn't look very good at all. I really thought they'd be more competitive.

UCLA 28-3 WSU

My Prediction: UCLA 24-10 WSU

More of the same for WSU, making a below average UCLA team look somewhat decent. Sad year for the Washington schools.

That was the kindest recap of the USC-Oregon game I've seen yet...

Bless your heart!

I’ve already bashed the ducks enough for all of us.
I still stand by my statement about your guys’ win against USC. It was a steller win, and one I never expected we would duplicate.

It's spelled "S-h-u-f-a-i-l"

Yeah well

A game like that speaks for itself. Best thing for UO to do now is just move on and get ready for whoever y’all got at the weekend. It’s a down year for the Pac and everything is up in the air at the moment. Oh yeah, and find a new defensive coordinator…

Cal

Yep, was kind-of boring and funny listening to the announcers try and make it more exciting.

But I will say Cal is a good team this year. Can they keep it going? Don’t know with that QB situation, but as of this week I will say they will be a big upcoming challenge for the Beavs.

I’m not as big on ASU as I was earlier in the season. Becoming a very one-dimensional team.

of course it will be a big challenge.

osu proved again this week that the usc game was a fluke. osu didnt win so much as usc lost.

Ha Ha

Thanks for disrespecting my respect for your team.

Oh wait a minute this is about the team from Berkeley – the land of inane contradictions and meaningless hyperbole…

For someone who can't stand them!

You get the prize for closest pick so far on that UA game! Well done!

Its just a matter of time

Before the UA implosion begins. I’m telling you. I’d be really surprised if they finished higher than 6th in the Pac 10. Its bound to happen. One bad game then Stoops loses it. It’s as guaranteed as death and taxes.

This next week...?

I predicted earlier this season that the Stanford game would be the telling one for UA this year. Guess I’ll get to see how well I called that this upcoming weekend!

Non Pac-10

Did anyone notice that Hawai’i beat Fresno State?

I sure did!
