"Like a rat in a pack it attacks from the back." Everyone know that. Actually kind of sounds like the Beav sneaking up on everyone every year by being not terrible.
The big thing to me with this slate if being able to put space between Oregon and USC games. I don't like Oregon early in the season. It just feels like a late-season game when both teams are good.
I'd wager either Oregon State or Utah won't be that good. Oregon State was a tough matchup for a lot of teams last year because they had like 6 super senior actually good DBs to lock up pass defenses and I think all but one is gone and it's not like the Beav are a team that has a ton of talent waiting in the wings. Rising feels like a guy you might be glad actually comes back. [/b]
The Apple Cup just feels like it might never be the slugfest it was in the past anymore. It feels like the Cougs barely ever have players from Washington anymore and I'm sure it's hard for a bunch of guys from CA and Texas and a bunch of transfers to care that much.
At Arizona feels like the sneaky game they lose. On the road, in the desert, it won't be high on their list of priority games. They're terrible against de Laura.
