There's another one who's pretty good. They were talking about him pre game.
Can't remember his name right now

Clay does too? I think Kiko's fam is from Mexico and Skov's dad like fled the country when the economy broke, right?

You mean best UO LB's or best LB's in the nation? Because saying they are the best UO LB's isn't saying much that's probably our worst all time position as far as college prestige and NFL draft picks.

Other than Oregon. And possibly Oregon state. Pac12 teams are streaky and inconsistent.
Toilollo again with an amazing grab. Love that man

#11 #6N Washington State (lost to BYU, Colorado, UO, OS)
#12 #6S Colorado (lost to Colorado St, Sacramento St, Fresno St, UCLA)

Think the North is better but it's top heavy. Cal and Washington State aren't very good and Washington is the cut off for bowl teams IMO.

5/6 Pac 12 games are nationally shown games this week. Solid.

Predictions
Arizona State @ Colorado
Utah @ UCLA
Oregon State @ BYU
Stanford @ Notre Dame
USC @ Washington
California @ Washington State

Arizona State just overmatches Colorado even on a home Thursday night game on national TV. I don't think Utah matches up against UCLA although they did put up a fight against the more talented cross-town rival. Oregon State is going to Provo to face BYU, who ever the QB for BYU isn't going to be able to handle the suffocating defense the Beavers have this year. Notre Dame is going to expose Stanford even more IMO. Stanford had to overcome so much to even win at home during homecoming to Arizona this week and Notre Dame is much more talented. USC is too much for UW although I'm going to be rooting hard for the Huskies on Saturday. Washington State pulls an upset over the weirdest team in the Pac 12. Cal gets pretty much handled by all other Pac 12 teams besides UCLA so far, loses close to Ohio State, and lost to Nevada too. Such a weird team.

ugly performance yesterday...defense single handedly won that game

[broncosfan07]

Colorado could actually win this game because we play well at home on Thursday night games. But ASU is a program, along with USC that CU has never beaten out of the Pac-12.
