The Pac-12 Thread....

nw, that peaves me a lot. At this point, if you are an ASU fan, there's no room to talk trash .....yet!

September 29th in Seattle is the mother of all trap games.

P.S. UW blows and will finish 5th in the north division.

Trucker,

I get 7 1/2 and Michigan in the Big House in an early game for Bama.  Michigan has a seasoned offense, and Bama lost a lot on defense.  Plus, it is only $50.00 and it at least gives me an interest in the game. 

As to the sleepers and creepers of the PAC, I too think UTAH could make great strides.  But, do they really have the depth to go the distance in the Conference?  The South might be a weakened division, but they do have a lot of play makers on every team.  Utah seemed to get up for the USC game last year and had numerous letdowns in other games.  We'll see.

YAM----- ASU had a good football team last year until the second half of the Oregon game when you guys fell off the face of the earth.  What happened with Burflict, is he on an NFL roster or in a corrections facility?  Damn that guy was wired tight.  Wicked linebacker.  I thought one of the best sports photos last year was Burflict staring at Barkley across the line during the ASU/USC game. 

UCLA has to be better.........50-0  is pretty much the bottom for any team.

Up North, I think the team that will burn a few is WSU.  They have offensive talent and a new coach who will maximize that offense.  The D can give up 30 pts if the O scores 35.   Washington without Polk is a huge question mark for me.  Can Price carry the load without a freight train to hand the ball to? 

Stanford will remain strong, hope that they will be a lot weaker without Luck is probably wishful thinking.

If we can just keep the players from going to prison in the off season..............

EDuck,
After Burfict's sophomore season he was listed as high as the #5 pick OA. It was all downhill from there. He's a penalty a quarter and showed up at the combine in horrible shape and immune to coaching. Erickson''s lack of disciplne compound3d the probles a lot.
He signed with the Bengals and in my opinion he's has umatched talent at linebacker and an unmatched head to make sure we may never see the football player he was pegged to be.

Thanks Yam.........I'll watch to see if he makes the Bengals.  I agree the kid is a physical beast with nothing resembling self control.

The Trojans have added a WR Steven Mitchell 5' 10" 175. He's supposed to be fast and quick. I didn,t see a ranting on him, but ND,"" Washington and Oklahoma "among others" had also offered scholarship to the WR.


That brings the commit total for USC to 9....  

trucker, If memory serves, I saw on ESPN that he is a 4 star receiver and ranked about 145 or so (I believe) on the ESPN to 150.

Thanks Trojanfan12, makes sense, he's a little on the smallish size. Not a bad idea if he's as quick as it's been reported.....
