What we learned from week 4...

What we learned from this weekend’s games in the Pac-12. First off let me start of by saying I went 3-2 in my predictions last week. Which isn’t good but isn’t bad either. It’s above .500 so you should have no problems in trusting my predictions for this season. lol.

 

1^st- We learned the Oregon is who we thought they were (Danny Green voice). Outstanding plays on all phases of the game against Arizona has catapulted them into being ranked 2^nd in the nation. They not only held Arizona scoreless but they put up 49! Showing that Arizona although Rich Rod has them moving in the right direction, they have a long way to go before being considered one of the nation’s elite. Elite teams compete on the road and Arizona was completely mismatched on all phases the most obvious being the preparedness and focus. They just looked like the timid shy kid standing trying to compete with the Jock. I almost felt bad almost, but Arizona had their chances. They just simply didn’t take advantage.

 

2^nd-Oregon State is for real. Wisconsin was shut down by Oregon States defense in the week 2 upset but this week’s win showed the offense can make plays when needed. After a fast offensive start the defense did the job of limiting UCLA’s comeback bid. They are now ranked 18^th and have beaten ranked opponents at home and the road. Watch out Pac 12 these Beavers are on the rise and could compete for the conference title.

3^rd- Colorado has (finally) showed up. After some terrible losses to start the season Colorado has bounced back with their first win being on the road at Washington State. Many including myself thought this would be a cakewalk game for WSU but when you think about it WSU is a program in transition with new coach Mike Leech and when facing a division rival records and rankings can always be thrown out the window. Way to respond for the Buffalos.

We knew USC would bounce back and that Utah is no doubt going to continue to struggle especially on the road. Same goes for Cal. So the ASU win and USC win didn’t really teach us much but I’m happy that I had these predications right. J So until week 4 be easy and relax I got you on this week’s matchups including big game for No. 8 Stanford at Washington! #Stay Tuned
