I think the line will be ASU (-3). ASU will cover.

Hey Semtex, I'll bet you $500 that Oregon wins straight up. ASU doesn't even have to cover the three. We can have a mod escrow it for security.

That UCLA game was retarded.

They score on the 3rd play of the game, and from then on don't get into the red zone. The Cougs had the good fortune that their starting QB was out, their top 2 rbs were hurt, and their best WR got hung out to dry and had his chest shattered.

The Cougs played much better, bringing more heat on the QB, but it's easy to do that when UCLA had no wrs to exploit our biggest issue.

To me the lesson here is that UCLA sucks and was hurt, not that the Cougs don't blow or anything.

Wazzu might consider blocking the other team's best defensive player when they go for it on fourth down.
Twice, I saw Davis rush through untouched and blow up the Cougs 4th down attempts.
Still a good win for Wazzu.

UCLA definitely earns the most inconsistent team of the year award, which is shocking. Even with the injuries, UCLA had the deepest amount of experienced players in the Pac10. That's something that makes me look real hard at the head coach.

Sad day for the Ducks. Along with Dixon's knee went possible Heisman, National Title hopes, and perhaps marquee Bowl game as well.

I hope the coaching staff can recover and plan for a Leaf-led offense. The offense looked terrible for a long time until Leaf finally showed some confidence with some short passes.

I felt the coaches took too long to adjust and let Leaf throw it downfield; if other teams follow Arizona's plan they'll stack the box and force Leaf to throw downfield. Where was the pump and go type routes that looked like they would have worked?

Well if Ore receivers can't catch even easy passes like they were doing last night, I think Oregon is in for huge struggles at UCLA. Sad thing was the defense did do enough to keep them in the game.

I think Dixon is still day to day at this point but yeah might as well try putting some kind of a gameplan together for Leaf though I doubt it helps. He is terrible and his immobility doesn't help. If he plays this weekend UCLA is going to blitz the crap out of him and I'd put the over/under on interceptions at like 5 (and take the over).

I was rooting for Oregon too so USC could go the Rose Bowl but now I hope they crash and burn. If we can beat ASU we will own the tie breaker against them and BCS here we come. Can't believe potentially a two loss team is going to take the Pac 10.

Oregon can go [censored] itself for losing the one time I actually wanted them to win.
