JSeahawks pac12 power rankings

The relative weakness of the UW run game is a concern.

The numbers (145 yards/game - 4.5 ypc) aren't super concerning, although you'd want to see a bit more dominance against the three teams they've played.

What is concerning has been their lack of ability to grind out yards and first downs on the ground, and I think that is going to bite them if it's not fixed.

Preseason is over and its time to move on to a full schedule of pac 12 games. Here's how i see it (admittedly I havnt watched a down of a few of these teams):

1A. Washington
1B. Stanford

The winner of that game will win the Pac 12, imo. I give UW the slight edge right now but its really hard to say just how good UW is since they have played 3 cupcakes. Stanford has played 2 good, but not great, teams. I suspect by the end of the season it will be Stanford at #1, but for now i'll put UW.

3. UCLA
4. Oregon. D is improved but still has a TON of work to do. Injuries could derail season. By end of the Nebraska game Oregon was down 9 starters.
5. Utah
6.Colorado
7. USC
8. Cal
9. ASU
10. Arizona
11. WSU
12. OSU

I'd take the Huskies, that seems like pretty easy money.

Duck game is hard to say because of injuries. Colorado's QB is a game time decision, if he can't go, his backups were TERRIBLE against Michigan last week. The Ducks are also as banged up as i've ever seen. Literally half of our starters are either out or game time decisions. The homer in me says take the Ducks. But it really depends on who plays and who doesnt play for both sides. I wouldnt touch that game if i was a better.

Guessing the Ducks will be dropping down after today. As we so often ask about XLIX, why didn't they just run? They had plenty of time and 2 time outs. Prukop? Uh, crappy. Colorado? Better team than they've been in a long time, but a loss to them at home? J, your favorite program is circling the drain. How long til Helfrich is gone?

Hopefully about 2 minutes.

I agree, should have ran it, but man, what a horrible throw by Prukop. Throw the fade to the pylon! It was underthrown by 10 yards. That last drive 5 pass plays were called, one he took a horrendous sack when he easily could have thrown it away, 2 should have been easy interceptions, 1 was saved by a diving catch, and 1 was underthrown by 5 yards and bailed out by an interrecerence call. He's the opposite of clutch.

If the freshman isnt starting at QB next week i'll be pissed.

Washington put up a lot of points on Idaho and P State. But Washington State put up the same amount on Idaho too.

Putting Washington at #1A or #1B is a bit crazy, Stanford clearly owns that spot by itself right now.
