PAC 12: Best & Worst Games of Week 3

Best: No question the game to see out west is SC 2-0 @ Stanford 2-0. It will/may surprise to shock many of you to learn that Stanford has beaten USC four of the last five meetings (2007, 24-23; 2009, 55-21; 2010, 37-35; 2011, 56-47 in OT). The Trojans lone win in the past five years came in 2008, a 45-23 dusting of the Cardinal. That said… Stanford is out of Luck this year… figuratively and literally … Andrew… as in Andrew Luck has left the building. USC is eyeballing this game as payback and an obstacle to their national championship aspirations for 2012 … no way do they look past this game…. with or without Luck…. Stanford will have Southern Cal’s total focus come Saturday!

Worst: Tennessee Tech 2-0 @ Oregon 2-0… Tech has beaten Hampton  41-31 and North Greenville 42-14… these two games certainly have prepped them for the speed they will see on Saturday… not! The Ducks will score and score and score and score and score and score…until time expires…it will not matter how they sub… the bottom third of their roster is significantly better than the Golden Eagles starters! Tennessee Tech has played a FBS team in each of the past three years with the average lost being 42 to 6 … and none of the teams they have played (Iowa, Arkansas, &Kansas State)  have anything like Oregon’s speed.
