So there was an interesting (to me) call in the SC-UO game. Kessler was called for intentional grounding even though he was outside of the tackle box and threw the ball past the LOS. It was a botched flea-flicker, and the ruling appeared to be that you don't have the intentional grounding protection if multiple people handle the ball. Only the first guy who takes the snap has that protection (if no one else handled the ball).

Oregon dominating SC 31-14 at halftime.

ASU dominating Arizona 28-10 late 2nd Qtr. They're looking to finish the season strong. I was hoping ASU would tank this game.

How important has Adams been for Oregon. Good thing he passed his algebra class. :p

So a I thought they ruled he wasn't outside the tackle box, which I disagreed with, but yeah, now that you mention it, the ref did give some long explanation about other people touching the ball.

What a weird rule. So on a halfback or end around pass play, the passer can't throw it away if under pressure?

I could imagine though, after handing off on a sweep and seeing you're cut off and are going to take a loss you could just toss the ball out of bounds and avoid the loss...so, the second ballhandler not having that option is probably a good thing.

Questions about Vernon Adams:

1. How is it possible to learn the Oregon offense in two weeks? I think that's the amount of time he had between passing his final algebra class at EWU and his first game at UO. The guy must have had their playbook and/or some coaching before leaving.
2. How does a guy who has trouble passing algebra get into grad school? What is he studying at UO?
3. Would we have beaten the Ducks without Adams? (I think not but others might disagree.)

No doubt bullshit went on with Adams. But no one wants to play these guys right now. That was a solid half of football against a good team.

Are the classes at whoregon much harder than an algebra class? (I aced algebra in 9th grade)

A win does make Sparky bowl eligible. So an optimist could say they may not care when they play us.

Best-case scenario: we knock furd out of the CCG, and Utah wins the South and beats Oregon for the Rose Bowl.

Utah and ucla have done a pretty good job of screwing up what were once some sharp unis.

Washington State vs Utah would be a kick

I stand corrected, go Cougs!

Michigan State beats tOSU

It would be nice to have tOSU out of the playoff. MSU in the driver seat.

Helfrich shouts out "Go Bears!" and says "I love the Cal Bears" at the end of the game.

ASU is crushing the cats .... Two pick 6's in the last minutes

Washington smoking the Beavers 35-0 in the first 20 minutes of the game ... rough year for the Beavers

Their win over Oregon also looking better. Should be MSU vs Iowa for a playoff position.

45-0 at half. Beavs are looking like us 2 years ago.

I missed the Arizona vs. State game. Anyone have a scouting report for ASU?

Utah miss Booker? Ucla 17-9..

Sandy's selling out for the $$ with the Cal/UO game at Levis pales in comparison to whatever prostitution took place in Chestnut Hill allowing BC to play in a Notre Dame game in Fenway. Insulting

Notre Dame was the home team and controlled the game location.

Does it matter given our surrender monkey of a coach?

Blitzing D

Very physical back in Balange (sp?).

QB is very up and down
