So much for tightening the rotation? Only Kylee Watson didn't play, and, after losing to Colorado, Stanford lost its second game in a row, 70-66 to UCLA.

A far cry from the 80+ points they had been averaging before the Arizona game, where they scored 41. Even though the points aren't where they're expected to be, they did end up out rebounding the Cougars, 49-36. They also shot better, 39% to 25%, overall. The 3 is still not working for the Ducks, 14%, WSU was 22%.

Defense Gets Ducks Back On Track by GoDucks.com The first quarter looked a lot like the last game against Arizona, 2 points in the first quarter, until a 3 made it 5. But in the third quarter it was tied at 38. It would have been 39-38, but a film review showed Taylor Mikesell's left foot was on the 3 point line.

There was 3:22 left in the 1st quarter.

Washington's current home winning streak is 0. Even when they only had home games last season which could have padded their record.

How much better can Noah Sewell get? That will be one of new DC Tim DeRuyter's first priorities with Sewell and Oregon's other linebackers.

It was hopeless until it wasn't!

Mario Cristobal wanted him all along, but why?

Absolutely. This is not some out of left field scenario. It is simply treating Division 1 football in the same manner as is Div.2, and basketball. The interest, by fans across the country in thse playoffs, and the money they generate, should be the model.

UCLA, where apathy towards football reigns supreme could surge past USC if it stays stuck in Clay.

That sure didn't look like team we'd come to know against Arizona.

If Mario thought that DeRuyter was the best DC out there, I'll go with that, he's got an impressive record of picking assistants. Mario didn't pick him just because the "Matrix" said to, but whatever it was that prompted that recommendation must have had some resonance to it.

Remember when the Chargers head coach said Justin, "was a back-up for a reason"? Anthony Lynn was fired for a reason.

I am extremely happy to hear this. Redd does bring experience and he has always been a very reliable player on the field. His leadership to a bunch of new receivers will be very important.

We gotta get this guy, we already have KT and TT, now we NEED JTT!

Yesterday, the Huskies did beat the Buffaloes for their 1st conference win, (1-7) and second overall, (2-11).

One of the best sports announcing moments ever!

He's my hope too. Can the hometown ties to Oregon and the Pac-12 tear him away from Alabama? A challenge can be compelling to people and that will clearly be the case with resuscitating the Pac-12.

Utah is a very good illustration of what recruiting means. The Utes have been a tough team, since before they joined the Pac-10, and with Colorado, made it the Pac-12. They have a good record, but this ranking of 37, is probably close to their average, and that won't win championships.

Will Richardson is still out with a broken thumb, Chris Duarte and LJ Figueroa will miss the game due to Covid 19 protocols. What will the Ducks do?
