Unofficial PAC 12 Football Thread 2013

[E.J.]

Here we go......LOVE this time of year!

PREDICTIONS

North – Oregon

South - UCLA

Champion – Oregon

OPOY – DAT

DPOY – Anthony Barr


The Utes have to sweep the State of Utah(Utah State, BYU and Weber State) and win three PAC 12 games to be bowl eligible…..UGH. Not sure they can do either. Will cross my fingers for wins against USU, BYU, Weber, Washington St., Colorado and then hope to get either Oregon St./Arizona and go bowling.

15 days until kickout….and that Thursday night against Utah St. should give a decent indication of what type of team Utah is going to field this year.

Nice Picks EJ. Hopefully Utah can have some success this year!

I am going with Utes, Utes U.T.E.S!!!!!!!!!!

Let me guess -- you are also a Raiders fan... :r :r

[E.J.]

3.5 days until kickoff...... Actually a little surprised that Utah is a 3pt favorite.

[E.J.]

Pre-Game....

North Champ: Oregon. The Oregon at Stanford game will determine the PAC 12 North Champ.

South Champ: Arizona State. I know UCLA is the favorite, but I’m going to dare to be different here.

Hopefully Oregon wins the PAC 12 – Go Ducks!

[jovenhut]

EJ great win for Utah. Loved the onside kick

[E.J.]

Solid win for the Utes against a team that won 11 games last year and returned 14 starters, including their entire offensive line and QB, who I think it without a doubt, the most dynamic player in the State of Utah.

Utah appears to have a better offense, though there are concerns with they inability to run the ball effectively against Utah State. The loss of Kenneth Scott to a broken ankle is big...and going to hurt for the rest of the season.

The defense looked bad at times, though I am not 100% sure that wasn't just Chuckie Keeton.... If I had a nickel for every time he should have been sacked and ended up making a play, I may be able to buy a soda.

In the end, a win is a win, for the Utes... After next week they will be 2-0, with the sacrificial lamb, Weber State, coming to town. Then the schedule gets wicked....

Beavers are undefeated

[CigarNut]

Beavers are undefeated
For now... :)

[E.J.]

Beavers are undefeated

Ouch

[jovenhut]

Beavers are undefeated
Eastern Washington... Hahahaha :banger

[Remo]

I liked seeing Washington beat the hell outta Boise St :wo

[racerX]

Eastern Washington... Hahahaha :banger


Brutal. At least the weather was nice

[jovenhut]

Utah beats the Beav's. and Boston College beats USC!

[Remo]

Utah beats the Beav's. and Boston College beats USC!

Yup :tu

[E.J.]

I am feeling better about the Oregon State game. Feel like the Utah front 4 will be able to get pressure on Mannion, making it more difficult to pass. Hopefully that is the case, I don't think the Beavers can beat Utah with the run. IF Utah could win, would be a better start than I expected.

BC better not beat USC, because if so, they face Utah State the next game, who I believe is better than BC or WSU. If USC started 1-3, Kiffen wont coach game 5.

[dave]

Hold on to your hats, left coasters! I'm gonna call my bookie and place a Pick4 on the Big10 this weekend!

[dave]

On the other hand, forget it. I can't ever see wagering real money on Illinois to win anything. But...Badgers, Huskers and Buckeyes....it could happen

[E.J.]

Huskers are getting 4.5, don't think they'll cover, UCLA is good and Mora will have them ready.

OSU is giving 16, they better cover, Cal can't stop a good HS team. Game up 30 to Portland State and 44 to Northwestern.....:r

Wisconsin is getting 4.5, they may cover, this game may show how good ASU really is.(LOVE Gary Anderson)

Illinois is getting 10 - NO IDEA, but just for the sake of this thread, Washington wins by at least 2 TD's.

Straight up, 3-1. UCLA, ASU and Washington win.

[CigarNut]

All that matter is the Ducks kicking some Tennesee butt :)

Not bad, with my thoughts on the line and 4-0 straight up.

Unfortunately, the one that counted(one I had a ticket on), I was 0-1....took Utah -3.5. I felt pretty good about that bet....should have known better.

GO UTES!

[E.J.]

Feeling some bad JuJu here...... Some Utah fan apparently "turned in" one of BYU's best linebackers, for what at BYU is an "Honor Code" violation. Long and short of it is a Spencer Hadley was reportedly with a booster at the Spearmint Rhino in Vegas, someone took a photo or video, sent it to the Utah Athletic Department as a possible NCAA violation. (rumor is the booster flew Hadley down in a private jet) Who forwarded the information to the BYU athletic department.

I doubt anything will happen with the NCAA, but at BYU....you can't be in a Gentlemen's Club. Hadley gets a 5 game suspension for violation of the Honor Code. I don't feel good about "turning in" the competition....feels like it brings bad karma.

[racerX]

Don't sweat the tattle tale. If your dumb enough to go to da club as a byu athlete then you better be ready to sit the pine. This is an interstate rivalry. Tattle tale broke the bro code but when it comes to interstate football ---well played. Boise state and Fresno game pretty good tonight.

He should of told them he was meeting his home teacher scouting out possible mission opportunities

Good win for the Beav's! Mansion showed some leadership in this come back win! :banger

[jovenhut]

EJ Utes almost pulled off the upset! 6 picks and almost beat UCLA nit a bad showing

[E.J.]

Thanks, it was fun and tough to watch, all the same.

[jovenhut]

We see this week if Oregon and Washington are for real

[CigarNut]

It is going to be a great game! The Ducks will win, of course!

[E.J.]

Wonder if the Ducks are going to feel the loss of Colt Lyerla? Not like they haven't played without him...but he's a talent all the same.

Looks like the line is 13.5....moving towards the Huskies from 14. That sounds about right to me, I don't see this being a nail biter. Meaning, the Huskies being a play away from winning the game.


Cardinal coming to town, these are the type of games that can turn a program around....or leave it right where it is(which is my expectation). GO UTES!

[jovenhut]

I believe Oregon rolls like the last 10 years. Mariota and Addison are on Fire!
The Huskies are improved but not ready to be a Top Team yet. They had a good run in the Stanford game but they caught the Cardinals napping last week.

[jovenhut]

SC looked better but they barely pull it out against AZ

[jovenhut]

Ducks win the Decade over UW.

[jovenhut]

EJ unbelievable upset. Congrats to The Utes!

[CigarNut]

We saw some great college football today!

[jovenhut]

Yes we Did! :banger

[E.J.]

YES!!!

[racerX]

Yes!

[E.J.]

Beat Stanford and look great, lose to Arizona and look like they are sleep walking. So much talk here about losing Wilson, but he looked terrible before going out. Surprised there is not more talk about the kicker missing 2 very makeable fieldgoals, his first misses of the season.

In the end, I would have been pleased as punch if the Utes were 4-3 at this point, with a win over Arizona and loss to Stanford....so *****ing about those being flipped, seems unreasonable. Was hoping for a 6 win season and still on track for that. Before last week, I was sort of dreaming of 8 wins and a spot in the top 25....

[E.J.]

Not liking the talk that the Wilson injury may be bigger than missing a half at Arizona. Now talking about pulling the RS off Conner Manning....

Watch him in HS and he is a hell of a QB can really sling the ball. :noon

Thursday Night PAC 12 game of the year!
Stanford vs Oregon

[CigarNut]

Thursday Night PAC 12 game of the year!
Stanford vs Oregon

Really looking forward to this game! Should be a very nice win for the Ducks :D

[E.J.]

Stanford is playing well, but in a nutshell, Oregon is chitting the bed.

[E.J.]

7 straight 3rd down conversions for Stanford...(and counting)

[E.J.]

Moral victory for Oregon...stopped them on 3... Sorry, they get 4 downs, 1st and 10...

[CigarNut]

Oregon definitely did not play well in the first half. I am sure that they will pick it up in the second.

[E.J.]

Well they better.... Playing themselves out of a shot at a shiny trophy...

[E.J.]

Game over...Merry Christmas Florida State!

[jovenhut]

Stanford handing Oregon their asses on a platter

[CigarNut]

Maybe not... :)

[CigarNut]

The Ducks could not pull out a win. Unfortunately, their mistakes and tentativeness cost them the game...

[E.J.]

Well, that was disappointing. Wanted to see Oregon play Alabama... Congrats to my Stanford alumni friends, huge win.

[Remo]

Makes the Utes look better tho!!

[jovenhut]

EJ the one game a year we are on opposite side! Go Ducks!

[E.J.]

Good luck today, Bruce! Our friends daughter, Oregon Cheerleader, is getting some good FaceTime on television here today.

Currently 10-7!

[jovenhut]

Utah' defense line is tough. Really held Oregons run game

[CigarNut]

Very good weekend of College football -- the Ducks won and Stanford lost :D

Soph. Travis Wilson, starting QB for the Utes all year and a chunk of last year, out for the year. Suffered a concussion during the ASU game, they were not aware of the concussion during the game. Had some testing the following Monday and during that testing, found another condition that is(was) described preexisting, that will end his season and possibly his career. He did not travel to Oregon.

I can only hope, whatever the issue is(they did not say), isn't something that causes issues the rest of his life. Positive thoughts his way.

Crazy, could be the second year in a row the starting Utah QB to end their football playing days end mid career. First Jordan Wynn, now Travis Wilson.

[E.J.]

Sark to USC.....

Here we go......LOVE this time of year!
