That Washington team is not good. They were very lucky though. They got every bounce. BYU sure beat the crap out of them physically, though. How many injuries did they have?

Had Collie been living more righteously, this game wouldn't have been close.

The answer is obvious, but not like you think...

The answer is UNI.

I'm guessing TD is counting down the hours til next weekend's kickoff.

Don't count out ol' Penn State this year. Man, Oregon State looked bad on Saturday, even with a bunch of suspensions on PSU's defense (DUI & weed).

Absolutely. Penn State is definitely the sleeper in the Big Ten this year. I've got a couple of friends who are really excited about their prospects.

Michigan lost its leading passer, rusher, and top 3 receivers from last year.

Washington returned its leading passer, rusher, and 2 of their top 3 receivers.

The funny thing is that people are arguing that history is behind Utah, versus BYU.

I keep hearing "no other team has beat as many BCS teams as Utah."

So now BYU is the upstart, and Utah is the team with history behind it. A reversal of roles.

Is that true? I thought Utah had defeated more? Or is that only in BCS era?

I meant to say Utah.

So there you have it.

Neither were home games.

USC beat UW by four in 2007, and lost to a 7-6 UCLA team in 2006.

So there you have it.
