Evidence of actual corruption in Pac 12 officiating...to the surprise of no one.
Evidence of actual corruption in Pac 12 officiating...to the surprise of no one.
I don’t follow other conferences officiating but it seems that PAC12 officiating has been a joke for ever. Even back in the Mountain West days, I hated having PAC12 refs as they seemed to always favor the other team (I am sure every fan feels that way).
Way too early for this, but I'm day dreaming. The following teams control their own destiny in the south:
USC at 3-1
Utah at 2-2
The other four teams can still tie for the division lead but lose tiebreakers:
Colorado at 2-1 has a loss to USC
Arizona at 2-2 has losses to USC and Utah
UCLA at 1-2 has a loss to Colorado
ASU at 2-2 has a loss to Colorado
UCLA lost to UW by just a TD last week, and they easily beat Cal yesterday. Sure would have been nice to play them at the beginning of the season when they were awful instead of on a short week on the road when they are good.
USC looked like USC last night. Athletic, strong, fast at every position...except RB. That was the key difference. The WR's are pretty scary, though. The freshman QB looked like a star freshman - plenty of bad throws, some really bad decisions, and a few perfect plays. Hopefully, Gustin is out on Sat.
Too bad Penei and Gustin will be on the sidelines for their homecomings. They should ask Gabe Reid about the experience.
* They should not contact Ty Jones.
This is a fun read:

It’s by Pete Thamel, who’s no slouch as a writer.
Happy to see him put that Pepperdine education to use.
Cameron Smith not likely to play for USC against ASU due to knee issues. It would be a big help if ASU could pull out the win Saturday. I’m not too proud to win the south with 3 losses and a tie breaker.
Well, how about that?
CU loses to OSU, and USC loses to ASU. All of sudden, we are alone in 1st.
Jake Browning benched against Cal for ineffectiveness! Chaos in the pac-12! I love it!
:jig:
Apparently USC fired their line coach and Helton has taken over offensive play calling going forward. All is not well in Troy.
