It has been a quiet week with WSU having a bye. On the plus side it is a mortal lock that the Cougs will not lose their second consecutive game this weekend. However, many other Pac 12 teams have lots too worry about.
Lets jump in with the game of the week to Coug Fans!
UW vs California
We all have heard from the Barking Sark about how great Keith Price is at QB. With the numbers he has put up it is hard not to buy into the hype. Unless of course you look behind the numbers. He has been facing the #81 passing defense of Hawaii, and the #78 passing offense of Nebraska. Plus with two bum knees it is hard to believe any defense will be too worried about him outside of the pocket. Chris Polk is proving to be a force to be reckoned with but lets not forget about his record against solid defenses. Cal held Polk to 86 yards on 19 carries last season. The Cal defense is still pretty solid. It will be an interesting test for Polk.
Cal on the other hand has a new QB who is actually playing up to their potential. Maynard is looking the part but he hasn't really been challenged either. However, he has one huge advantage. The Cal offensive line is very experienced and the Husky D-Line has been less than stellar. Throw in the Husky's inability to make adjustments and second half woes and Cal could put up some serious numbers. Let's not forget that Cal will be thirsty to beat up on the Dawgs who have ended their seasons the last two years.
Cal 35, UW 17
Colorado vs The Ohio State
This is a tough game to call. My guess is that it will be closer than anyone really thinks. Ohio State is just playing poor football. However, they get a few guys back this week and they should win the talent game. This game is a win/win for Coug Fans. Colorado could win and think they are better than they are going into next week or they could get whooped and hurt along the way.
Ohio State 17, Colorado 10
UCLA vs Oregon State
Wow this may be the worst game of the Pac 12 for the year. You have the Bruins who are quitting on Tricky and Rick vs Oregon State who is battling a QB controversy and 2 years of major attrition.
UCLA 31, Oregon State 13
USC vs Arizona State
Has anyone really been impressed with USC yet? Barkely looks good but he underperformed against Minnesota who ranks 112 nationally against the pass. It should be interesting to see what he does when ASU minimizes the damage Woods can do and Burfict shuts down the TE game. My guess is that this is the perfect storm for ASU to win.
ASU 24, USC 14
Oregon vs Arizona
Seriously, I would love to say this will be a game but the Wildcats look like Rubbish lately.
Oregon 42, Arizona 23
