I like the rolling pockets they executed last week. That helps to stretch things horizontally, and gives you options on the back side for screens and whatnot if the defense over commits.
yep. Offense needs sustained drives that eat up time and keep the other QB on the bench. We won't be winning in shootouts this year.
"Don't apologize; it's not your fault. It's my fault for overestimating your competence."
Those teams in shootouts are mostly just going short-to-mid range with the pass game too. They are just better at it, and they manage to turn their midrange catches into big plays on occasion.
Suddenly you understand.

Bummer. But, next man up.
Fair enough. I don't see us doing that either.
"Don't apologize; it's not your fault. It's my fault for overestimating your competence."
Yeah, especially not without Dres. It hadn't really happened yet this season, but he was great with yards after the catch last year.
I think I got it. AJ said "all of THE sudden" instead of "all of a sudden".
LA used "all intensive purposes" to bust his chops.
Unfortunately, AJ's malaprop was't even a blimp on the radar for most readers.

That's the malapropism? Sorry, LA, I got this one: http://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.co...f-what-sudden/
I'm both hipper and more original, while still being historically accurate!Summary: All of a sudden is the standard idiom in contemporary English. All of the sudden is a newer non-standard variant that does not appear to be geographically localized. Interestingly, the sudden is the original form if you go back to the 1500s.
"All of a sudden" reads like British English to me. I guess having lived mostly in downstate Illinois and Utah will do that.
I think "all of the sudden" is a fantastic idiom that lends itself, by being sort of a vocalized dramatic pause, to a more theatrical telling of a story. Suddenly falls short in this respect.

Back to football, I thought we had a few successful plays in the second half of the USC game passing out of a two TE set. Maybe some more of this?
I disagree with you irregardless.

I was really pleased to see some creativity Saturday night. I'm excited to see what Christiansen comes up with for ASU.

Booker is an intensive runner.
Things will be more tense without Dres.

I agree. The changes they made for USC filled me with hope.
All of the sudden this situation is making some you look downright ignerent. You're responding on the spurt of the moment. As for me, I have failed to recognize the difference between a malaprop and an eggcorn.

http://www.rantsports.com/ncaa-footb...-pac-12-south/No, it doesn’t seem like Utah can win the Pac-12 South, but the fact that we’re talking about this at all shows that the Utes have outpaced expectations so far, and an epic November is not out of the realm of possibility.

Decent read on TCU's prolific offense this year.

So much for Louisville beating FSU. Jameis Winston does it again.
Too bad both teams couldn't lose.
is there any doubt he is living right on and off the field
Haha! None. He's very blessed!
Pretty spicy article here on ESPN's SEC bias.

Nice blog post about Booker: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_...ath-to-utah-rb
“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
I know it ain't happening but I was looking at Tiebreakers for if Utah wins out and ASU loses to Arizona and either USC or UCLA wins out (both distinct possibilities)
If its a tie between Utah, USC and ASU - ASU wins by virtue of beating the other two teams.
If its a tie between Utah, UCLA and ASU Utah would win because we would have only one divisional loss. If ASU lost to Oregon st or Wazzu instead of Ariz they would be divisional champs because UCLA is eliminated and then they beat us.

Utes stay at 17 in the playoff top 25. ASU at 9 and the Ducks at 4.

I love being in this conversation. Looking forward to Saturday's matchup. Rice Eccles is going to be a great place to be and should erupt for the team.
I would really like to hear the fans yell out "UUUUUUUUUUUU" the whole time that the ducks are on offense. That's what Autzen does )"OOOOOOOO") and it is loud and annoying and disruptive.
I just really like this Mariota kid; though, in different ways, remind me a bit of Andrew Luck.
