BN Bye Week: Saturday Open Thread: Keep Your Eyes On Stanford-Washington

Lot of interesting games going on right now. Out in Ann Arbor Rich Rodriguez's Michigan Wolverines are in a dogfight with Indiana. Their spread offense is clicking, while the defense looks like vintage Bruin defense from Toledo's last years.
Meanwhile, out in Starksville, MS, the MSU Bulldogs are making Washington's pretty "moral victory" against LSU look not so impressive. The Bulldogs are down by a score of 14-16 at the half time, turning up the heat on Less Miles to few more hundred degrees. Oh those are not the only interesting scores early on. Southern Florida is up 14-0 on FSU (which just last week pummelled BYU) and UNC is losing to Georgia Tech 0-10.
Obviously many here will keep eye on Cal's game against Oregon. Although I picked Oregon to cover the spread, I get the sense that Best and the Cal offense will explode. More importantly for everyone here though, please keep an eye on Stanford-Washington game and serve up your verison of scouting reporters (either via quick takes in this thread or more detailed thoughts in the fanposts).
I am sure Toby Gerhart and co are going to be fired up to make a statement around the league, after what the Huskies did last weekend. I am going to particularly interested in hearing about how Andrew Luck performs against the Husky defense (which I imagine is going to come in with the goal of shutting down the Cardinal running game). It is going to very interesting to see how the Huskies after all their week long hype keep their focus against the Cardinal. You can keep track of the full scoreboard here.
Oh btw if you haven't gotten in your pre-game guesses in (we have a bye week version up), make sure you get them in by 12:00 pm PST.
So with that turning this thread over to you. Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

Michigan struggling today
down 21-26 in fourth.

Michigan
is making our 2005 defense look like tacklers extraordinaire. I’ve never seen so many missed tackles.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Sep 26, 2009 11:48 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Holy crap
IU scores in one play (80 yard TD run) to answer Michigan’s TD drive.
This is Greg Robinson’s defense (thank God he never ended up as a coach at UCLA). Yikes.

I generally root for Michigan vs. The Buckeyes ...
but in situations like these, I’m solidly behind the underdog.
Go Hoosiers!

is MSU. Down 21-30 against LSU … but they are driving.

Michigan's defense
I wonder if Greg Robinson will make it past this season. This D looks as bad as worse than the ones I saw under Larry “you are killing me” Kerr and Alliotti.

Some fun games today
Is Cal for real? I think so, but then again, Oregon may not be all that we expected…
And the Stanford-UDub game will be very interesting. I’m not sold on Washington yet. Washington’s glorious victory last week was nice, but I also think $C is not as good as everyone thought. This again should call everyone’s attention to $C’s QB dilemma (and why Cheatey was such a whiny biatch when Sanchez left the program):
True freshmen QB Barkley who really has not done much so far (nevermind the media hype, just look at the numbers).
Backup QB Corp who the $C fans want pummelled after a pretty bad performance last week (and again, for you Craft haters, Corp’s numbers were WORSE than Craft).
3rd string QB Mustain who I suspect is in Cheatey’s doghouse. Cheatey is trying to make him a punter and, as bad as $C’s punting game is right now, he won’t even be able to take over that spot. But I hear he’s good at riding the pine.
Go Cougs. Blitz the crap out of Barkely. You’ve got nothing to lose.

Oregon
Their offense seems to be getting together. Full disclosure: I haven’t been digging through the team stats yet. I usually start that at least after couple of conference games into the season.

Oregon's spread offense,
any type of spread offense has given us trouble in the past. Hopefully, our team speed and experience can contain the explosive offense of Oregon and Cal; but first we have to handle Stanford.
N, did you get a chance to read the article about ATV:
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/verner-football-something-2580024-see-viney
He is probably my favorite football player. His approach to his role reminds me of Arron Afflalo. He is a great player, leads by example, and is the true model of a student-athlete. I think football might just be a stepping stone for other things he will do in his future. Though ATV is a football player, he is in the mold of a Ben-Ball Warrior

playcalling is HORRIBLE. That D of Oregon’s knows exactly what they are going to do every single down. Its as unimaginative as Dorrells. Cal stands no chance whatsoever unless they learn how to keep the D guessing on playcalls, and that means at least keeping them honest with the pass.

This is Cal. This is what they do. They haven’t won a conference title in football or men’s basketball since 1960.
I said at the beginning of the season when Cal fans were popping off that they would lose at least twice in the conference. Tedford is good for a couple of these games a year.
It’s a shame Prince is such an X factor right now with the injury, because with him healthy we’re good enough to beat Oregon or Kal.

Why was Cal highly rated again??
I’m not sure what to make of this Cal-Duck game. I think many sort of took it for granted that Cal was going to be good, but I didn’t think so. Riley has never impressed me. 50% completion rates are a dime a dozen. They didn’t have any impressive wins last year and lost 4 games, I didn’t see that they did much to improve on that team, except for a bit more experience from guys like Riley and Best. I don’t think this is a huge upset, but an evenly matched conference game where the home team just really got it going.

His playcalling can be weird sometimes.
For example today .. when they first got the ball after Oregon TO … they went with three straight pass plays … with the best RB (still think Best is probably most prolific RB in the country) in the backfield. Mindboggling.
And the way their defense played … reminded me of how our defense used to show no heart during later days of Toledo.

Seems like a defense has to always play on edge
Whereas offense is more about precision and accuracy. These defensive meltdowns must be due to a lack of complete intensity during the week.
This game reminds me of when we went up to Stanford at 6-0, ranked #4, in 2001. It was 35-7 at halftime. (Only difference being that we almost came back to tie it. But that was still a complete mail-in.)

he has benefitted greatly from
Terrible UCLA/Washington programs during his time. His only real competition for number 2 in the conference is Oregon, and they seem to alternate who is better in a given year.
I do not think tedford is a good coach. His teams are terrible on the road, he struggled and Karl Dorrell. He recruited well for KAL and had some nice games, but I don’t see Kal ever being top 3 in the conference again after this year,

Best thing financially for us
is if 2 Pac-10 teams go to the BCS bowls, giving Pac-10 a bigger piece of the national pie and sending us to a slightly better bowl game (if we are eligible).
Best chance of that might be for Oregon or Cal to get the automatic bid and for a 2-loss SC team to be given the last at-large spot ahead of a Big-10 team.

watching Ohio at TN on the Directv package. TN came out and scored immediately, then on the ensuing kickoff, Ohio returned it 95 yards for a TD. Then Crompton threw a pick of course. A few plays later Ohio scored on a WIDE open throw to the end zone. Man, COME ON TN! Jeez!

Stanford isn’t going to lose it for us. Gerhart is a beast and we’re going to have to stuff their running game to have a chance. When I’ve seen Stanford, their throw the ball well if they’re running the ball and utilizing the play action. If the play action isn’t making defenses bite because of a mediocre running game, Andrew Luck struggles.

hey, at least it makes SUC look bad
That’s all that matters right now. They are moving up 5 places and counting. This loss for UW makes them look a little worse than they would have
Troy will fall.

Sean Farnham
Waxing poetic about Lavin era and getting nostalgic about “Maples Massacre.” Moron.

The fact that a guy like Farnham
got significant playing time in that era says it all

Didn't hear Farnham today
But I’ve always thought he was pretty solid on the radio.
Of course, when it comes to sports radio, you have to grade on a curve.

Wow
Onside kick. Classy bunch those condoms. Only up by 20? These guys are so ripe for the picking… They are going to lose at least 3

Needed to fix something
Troy will fall...AGAIN!

I take that back
They move up 4 I think. Ole Miss, Cal, Miami, and Penn St. all lose. Condies will be 8?
Troy will fall...AGAIN!

But I think the realization has set in
Stanford’s got game
Troy will fall...AGAIN!

No Doubt ...
Our defense will get all they want from the Trees. They are a strong, physical team.

Yeah
But so will SUC. The “Pac-1” isn’t looking, I don’t know, singular this year?

Klitschko wins by TKO in 10th.
He beat the hell out of Arreola in the Staples Center tonight. Kobe was there and got the biggest cheer, and the Governator was at a big fight for the second straight week, and for the second straight week got booed by the crowd!

Don't Know If Anyone Noticed...
But what’s up with the shoes that USC is wearing. They ALWAYS wear black shoes. The shoes they’re wearing tonight only make their ugly uniforms look even uglier.

Have you ever seen such a glum set of fans ...
even though they’re pitching a shutout up 20 in the third quarter?

I went to high school and am friends with
Wazzu’s #43 Alex Hoffman-Ellis. He was so excited to be back playing at home that it’s great to see him having a good game.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Sep 26, 2009 10:11 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
he was going to, though
I want a point for pre game guesses, too. I don’t think I get any today.

Meanwhile ...
Cougs have 1st and goal on the 2 with 34 seconds left. C’mon Wazzu!

Score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WSU punches it in!

C'mon Wazzu!
You can score a TD! I heard them say last year was 69-0 in Pullman? u$c* is worse, and Washington State is better I should say.
