Pac 12: Week 11

Arizona (5-4 / 2-4) vs Colorado (1-8 / 1-5)

All time, Arizona is a shocking 1-13 vs Colorado.  Last year they never led the game in a crushing 48-29 loss.  Colorado is 7-0 all time in Tuscon, but they have not playing in Tuscon since 1985 (14-13 victory).  With that in mind, it is perhaps worth mentioning that they are just 2-21 in their last 23 conference games.

SC (6-3 / 4-3) vs Arizona State (5-4 / 3-3)

The last time SC played ASU  was last year, where despite leading 22-21 well into the third quarter, they were blown out by a score of 43-22.  This is because SC turned the ball over 4 times.  SC has not lost back to back to Arizona State since 1996/1997.  The last time these two teams met in LA, which was in 2010, SC needed a late FG to win the game by a score of 34-33.

California (3-7 / 2-5) vs Oregon (9-0 / 6-0)

While Oregon did win the last time these two teams met in Berkeley, by a narrow 15-13 margin, they are just 1-3 in their last four trips here.  Many felt that in a controversial game plan that saw Cal players seemingly fake injury that Jeff Tedford had laid out the blueprint for beating Oregon.  However, last year Cal was soundly defeated in Eugene by a score of 43-15.

Stanford (7-2 / 5-1) vs Oregon State (7-1  / 5-1)

Last time these two teams met Stanford was up just 17-13 late in the third quarter, but they cruised to victory behind three straight Andrew Luck led touchdowns to defeat the Beavers by a score of 38-13.  It marked Stanford’s first win at Oregon State in 7 years.

Washington State (2-7 / 0-6) vs UCLA (7-2 / 4-2)

The home team is 4-1 in this series over the past five games. Last year WSU surrender an 8 point lead, and following a late fourth quarter interception, they were defeated by a score of 28-25.  UCLA has won four straight games vs WSU by an average margin of 20 points.  The last time these two teams faced off in Pullman, UCLA won by a score of 43-7.

Washington (5-4 / 3-3) vs Utah (4-5 / 2-4)

While Utah is 0-7 vs Washington by an average score of 25-9, they have not played in Seattle since 1979 (41-7 Washington victory).  Last year Washington walked into Utah’s stadium and won 31-14, despite leading by a score of only 10-7 at half.
