games left should be exciting!

I maintain that USC is probably the best team in the PAC 12 at this point. We need to keep winning. That UW/USC game is going to be epic. A USC win wouldn't shock me in the least, even in Seattle.

Completely different team with Darnold at the helm. Why he didn't start out the season is beyond me. USC may have been a 1 loss team.

Utah's OL is really pretty average. I suspect injuries have something to do with it. USC's OL is by far the best we've faced all year.

Interesting, I haven't watched them very often this year but that was a great showing against Washington but I might be over valuing UW. USC was great too, we haven't seen a team dominate our front seven like that all year.

I thought the same about UW's D-Line as well, but looking at the numbers they are allowing over 150yds rushing on average. So it would appear their DL is mediocre against the run, but very very good at rushing the passer. Their whole strategy seems to be to force you into a passing situation and then cause havoc.
 
I hope HCMM posts this all over the locker room bulletin board. No respect!

From the original article:

Pac-12. Washington keeps winning, no matter how grinding and ugly it can look, as it did at Utah. But acting as if the Huskies will run the table easily from here on out might is not wise. It starts with a trip to Berkeley. Forget how terrible Cal looked against USC on Thursday night. The Bears were playing a second consecutive early week game and against a team coming off of a bye. The reality is that they might very well be the nation's most dangerous four-loss team not based out of Oxford, Mississippi. After that, the Huskies will be paid a visit from the very reinvented Trojans team that trucked the Bears. Then, after a visit from Arizona State, comes a suddenly ginormous Apple Cup trip to Pullman to face a Wazzu team that's currently undefeated in the conference but has two losses, including their season-opening clunker with FCS Eastern Washington. Should UW stumble along those four weeks, it might have to depend on a Pac-12 title game against a two-loss Colorado team that has been a great story but is far from a great football team.
 
utah is good. they are physical and they are not mistake-prone. we are going to have our hands full with them. usc looks great right now and we had our chances to win that game. we can play with anyone. we are, however, very lucky that 3 of our last 4 are at home. we are a much better team at home.

Not only do they **** on us, but was it really necessary to throw a bone to the world's most overrated football team?

Just superb coaching and game planning. Graham does the same kind of stuff, but he looks like an amateur by comparison. Coach is the position on UW that we probably say too little about - maybe because it just goes unspoken. UW is a sophomore team and all those Sarkisian, paper 4-stars are gone. No one has done more with less than Petersen. With several very obvious exceptions, I think that CU has more raw talent (yes I said it). If UW beats a rising USC I think it will be because of that Petersen dude.

UW could definitely lose to either USC or Wazzu. They seem like world beaters for good stretches of games but have their lapses.

IF USC doesn't turn the ball over I think they would win. I doubt that happens though.

Disagree. USC beat us by 4 points at home against our backup QB. Sefo starts and Colorado wins that game. I think UW is #1 and Colorado is 2nd best at this point.
 
"The most dangerous 4 loss team in the country, outside of Oxfrod, MS". That might be the most ridiculous statement I've heard involving college football this year. Cal is 4-4 and Ole Miss is 3-5. At what point do these teams that have drastically underperformed stop receiving every benefit of the doubt? That statement is like saying "Colorado was the most dangerous 4-9 team in the country last year".

WTF? Do you seriously watch the games or not? Washington might have the most pure team speed in the conference.
