Default Re: 2007 Pac 10 football thread

Could be an interesting Saturday for the Pac 10, here are the games:

USC @ ND
Sharpley is making his first career start which might be scary for SC he has done some nifty things in his limited playing time. On the USC side it looks like we are getting Cushing back and Stephon Johnson is probable as well which is great news. If we could only get some of the guys back from the O-line we might look like the team from earlier this season. I think this is going to be a blowout for USC, but we'll see. USC has had 3 straight crappy teams to comeback from a shaky performance against Washington and we have f-ed up two of them. Nd is terrible, but their only win was a crusher against UCLA who is currently ranked better than SC, so who knows.

Cal @ UCLA
I don't know whats going on with this conference anymore. UCLA is currently number 2 in the Pac10, not being tied for first because ASU has played one more game than them. They have handily beaten everyone in the conference they have played so far, including OSU who took down Cal. But they got smoked at home by a terrible ND. They have had a bye week to reflect on that embarrassing loss. Tedford still has not decided who is starting at QB for Cal. After a bad start Riley had a good game last week, but can he recover from that mistake at the end? Is Longshore healthy enough to carry them? I honestly have no idea how this game is going to play out, but will not be surprised at all if UCLA wins.

Stanford @ AZ
I can't muster any interest for this game. I just hope UA pounds the trees into the ground for what they did to USC.

Oregon @ UW
Too much offense on one side, no defense on the other. Oregon wins in a blowout, even without Colvin or Johnson.
