Starting out good. These are two good teams. Michigan States secondary is tough.

Mich St. surprised me then they just went away...way away. Sad.

MSU just faded, as you said...Oregon is for real. They have issues, but these kinds of games will temper their steel. Mariotta is a contender.

Mariotta is one heck of a player...very hard to deal with!

I still think Oregon will screw up down the stretch where they shouldn't. Stanford will still be a tough out and even though UCLA hasn't looked that great to open the year, they could present some problems with Oregon. I actually thought Michigan State acquitted themselves okay for the first 45 minutes. Anybody who says that Michigan State was "too slow" to handle Oregon, well, I hate to break it to those guys but everybody is too slow to handle Oregon in space. There's a reason those guys they recruit to play wide receiver were track stars in addition to being good football players.

That's right. Oregon is quick, but that is not the only criterion for winning. MSU will do well this year. Frankly, the PAC 12 is going to be tought. USC and Stanford..not pretty...but those teams are going to win games. Arizona St is winning. Washington may well struggle. Oregon State will be Oregon State, but that Civil War game is just that. I think Oregon can not blink..or they will be kissing their sister.

Stanford is tough! They were a few mental errors away from looking pretty awesome!

USC should be highly thankful...but they hung tough and kept digging to help Stanford slop it up.
