Happy Football Friday.

Three Arizona players to watch. And you should include this frosh linebacker.
Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler played well but heat cramps were a problem.
Is this California's next great running back?
Can Colorado earn bowl eligibility? Buffs coach Jon Embree is a no-nonsense guy.
LSU's Les Miles and Oregon's Chip Kelly have different images. The Ducks are healthy, but linebacker Kiko Alonso's status hasn't been announced.
There is optimism and caution about the return of Oregon State wide receiver James Rodgers. Has coach Mike Riley gone soft with the selective suspensions?
Stanford will play a number of talented freshmen. The Cardinal have high hopes, even beyond the Rose Bowl.
UCLA is mad at Houston. Perhaps that's good because this is a must-win for the Bruins.
USC's biggest concern is its offensive line. More on assistant coach Willie Mack Garza's sudden departure.
Is Utah ready for the Pac-12 stage? We'll see next weekend at USC.
Washington running back Chris Polk looks good enough to play, but will he? The Huskies might have returned to respectability, but the old Husky Stadium crowds have not.
It's rare that the coach of a Washington State opponent is fine with saying, "Go Cougs." Are the Cougs past their growing pains? This is great news... good job, Kim.
