      I know our team has some kinks to work out but I’m not terribly worried about it yet. Let’s face it, the focus for non-conference games is nowhere near what it is for in conference. Just look at Stanford. That was not the team that got destroyed by Northwestern.

      Every game going forward is now a playoff game. I’m excited to see what our team does in Oregon.

      Still not sold on Stanford. They looked very vulnerable against NW. Impressive win against SC though – especially with Hogan playing injured.

      I have more questions about SC now.

        I’d love to be playing the Tree this week. It would be three in a row.

      I like our chances against Oregon, EWU put 40 something points up against them right? So their defense is suspect, while our offense is suspect… If our secondary can shore somethings up, we have a chance.

      My gut feeling is that they are not contenders and will be fighting to keep Cal from overtaking them for 2nd in the North. That was a very impressive performance yesterday though.

        Stanford is better than Cal whether at home or on the road. But that’s just an Opinion.

          I agree. I still think there’s a big gap between Oregon and the rest of the north though. One awful pass that got away from Adams kept them from beating MSU on the road.

      All I know is that it gives U$C a loss in the South. C’mon Utes, take advantage of these things!

      Hope Travis is healthy…

        I like the way you think.

        This is sooo important. Any loss that ASU, UA, UCLA, or USC take helps us on our way to a PAC12 South Division Champion title. We need to take care of business against Oregon and we’ll be in a great spot for the south race.

        At this point, everyone has their warts, but I can’t help but think other teams seem to have bigger ones.

      Since we don’t play Stanford this year was it better USC lost yesterday? I know it doesn’t matter about the south race but it sure makes USC seem winnable.

        The USC loss does matter in the South race, because as I understand it, the the winner of the South is determined by each teams overall Pac12 record not the division record. The division record is only important for tie breaker purposes.

      An Angel gets its wings everytime USC loses.

      Personally that USC loss stinks of Sarkisian…It is just another nail in Haden’s and Sarkisians coffin.

      Some teams just match up better.

        In that case it is good news for us because we match up very similar to the Cardinal.

      Stanford has always played tough against USC, so it’s still hard to tell what kind of team they will be this year.

      Seeing what they did to SC makes me feel better about our chances against the Trojans as we play a similar style as the Cardinal.

      As always in this conference, we won’t know anything until next week. =)

      Stanford was always for real. Northwestern looking better and better.
