Hey All,
I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend filled with good times, good food and football. Now it is time for yet another edition of Notes on a Pac 12 Scorecard. We still miss you, Tom Kelly.
Summaries
USC 30- San Jose State 7: Los Angeles, CA- Two things proved to be strikingly clear to the Trojan faithful and their growing sense of unease as their Trojans held a scant 13-7 over SJSU a couple of minutes into the fourth quarter at the Coliseum. One: USC's defense has improved. The unit covered well and tackled better. Two: The offense hasn't. The unit still can't run the ball when they really need to and they don't have a wide receiver capable of taking the heat off top WR Drake London. The crowd grew even more uneasy when yet again the Trojans squandered a red zone drive with a field goal attempt. PK Parker Lewis would make his third FG of the game to give SC a 16-7 lead. On the ensuing drive, the SC defense then put the game out of reach when Safety Greg Johnson pounced on an out pattern throw from Spartans QB Nick Starkel and took it back 37 yards for a TD. SC then managed to keep SJSU off the scoreboard the rest of the way while the offense got late TD pass from Slovis to TE Erik Krommenhoek that made the final score look like a bigger win than it really was. Slovis completed 24 of 36 passes for 256 yards and two TDs. His favorite target was Drake London. London hauled in 12 passes for 137 yards. RBs Keontay Ingram and Vavae Malepeai combined for 151 yards on 29 carries to lead the Trojan ground attack. Starkel threw for 308 yards and two interceptions in the loss.
Telling Stat: 17-0 gets the W; Despite stumbling through most of the game, the Trojans owned the final period, shutting out the Spartans, 17-0 to claim the win.
Montana 13- Washington 7: Seattle, WA- The Huskies came out on their first drive and moved down the field with ease, marching 78 yards in nine plays and grabbed a quick 7-0 lead over the Grizzlies on a one-yard TD plunge by QB Dylan Morris. Montana answered that UW drive with a field goal to make the score 7-3 midway through the first quarter. Then, like the sun on most Seattle days, both offenses disappeared. The defenses reigned for the next two and a half quarters. Montana couldn't generate a single first down in that time span while the Dawgs generated some yards, but never got into the red zone. They turned the ball over twice and missed a 50-yard FG in the process. The fourth quarter came and Montana suddenly started moving the ball. The Grizzlies moved the ball 69 yards in 10 plays and capped off the drive with QB Camron Humphrey finding the end zone untouched from four yards out for the go ahead score. At this point the uneasiness of the Husky crowd turned to dread. Boos rained down as the Dawgs offense took the field and promptly lost seven yards in three plays and were forced to punt. Montana then took six minutes off the clock and tacked on a 22-yard field goal for a 13-7 lead. UW would get the ball two more times and never come close to pulling the game out. The Dawgs last hopes were dashed when Morris threw his third interception of the game with just :31 seconds left. Morris finished the game with 226 yards passing and those three huge interceptions. For the victorious Grizzlies, Humphrey passed for only 105 yards, but didn't turn the ball over and ran for the winning score.
Telling Stat: 55:09 of futility; After taking a 7-0 lead, Montana shutout Washington the rest of the way, limiting the Dawgs to just 201 yards over the final 55:09 and never allowing them anywhere near the red zone.
UCLA 38- LSU 27: Pasadena, CA- They might need to order another bandwagon or two for bRuins "fans" after they pretty much owned this game from start to finish at the Rose Bowl. After a scoreless first period, LSU broke the seal on the game with a 3-yard TD toss form QB Max Johnson to WR Kayshon Boutte. LSU would never lead again. The bRuins immediately answered LSU's score with a 10-yard pass from QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson to TE Greg Dulcich who ran the next 65 yards to paydirt. As the game wore on, it was clear that Johnson and the Tigers O-line couldn't handle UCLA's pass rush. The Tigers did keep it close, but faltered in the final period as UCLA forged a 38-20 lead on a 1-yard TD run by RB Brittain Brown and Thompson-Robinson's third TD pass, a 45-yarder to WR Kyle Phillips. LSU managed a to put one more TD on the board late to make it interesting, but the bRuins defense shutout the Tigers the rest of the day to secure the upset. Thompson-Robinson only completed nine of 16 passes on the night, but they went for 260 yards and three TDs. The bRuins also ran well. They gashed LSU for 210 yards on the ground with Michigan transfer RB Zack Charbonnet toting the rock 11 times for 117 yards and a touchdown. For the Tigers, Johnson finished with 330 yards through the air and three TDs.
Telling Stat: 49 is fine; UCLA's defense made LSU one-dimensional by holding the LSU rushing attack to a measly 49 yards. That enabled the bRuins to pull off the upset victory.
Arizona State 41- Southern Utah 14: Tempe, AZ- The Sun Devils committed 11 first half penalties, but managed to still run roughshod over an overmatched Southern Utah squad. The Sun Devils built up a 28-7 halftime lead on four touchdown jaunts. RBs DeaMonte Trayanum and Rachaad White each picked up two of those scores. Trayanum's runs were from 3 and 20 yards while White's were from 1 and 26 yards. The Sun Devils turned the second half into a glorified scrimmage tacking on two more TD runs to finish off the Thunderbirds. ASU ran for 222 yards with seven different players chipping into the total. QB Jayden Daniels only put the ball in the air 12 times, but completed 10 of them for 132 yards before leaving the game early in the second half due to cramping issues in the hot Tempe night. SUU QB Justin Miller completed 19 of 30 passes for 146 yards and three interceptions in the lopsided loss.
Telling Stat: 30:00 of garbage time; ASU sent everyone to the bars early with big halftime lead against a hapless Southern Utah squad.
Kansas State 24- Stanford 7: Arlington,TX- The Cardinal and the Wildcats hooked up at Jerryworld in the Allstate Kickoff Classic. The Cardinal came into the game with uncertainty at QB. Whether it was So. Tanner McKee or Sr. Jack West under center, the Cardinal offense sputtered. Stanford's OL racked up the majority of the Cardinal's nine penalties and didn't protect either QB well. Meanwhile, KSU's defense stacked up the rushing lanes, holding SU to a paltry 39 yards on the ground. As for the Wildcats offense they got their 24 points on pair of TD runs by QB Skylar Thompson that covered six yards and 13 yards along with a 59-yard romp through the Cardinal defense by RB Deuce Vaughn and 40-yard FG by PK Taiten Winkel. SU's only score came well after the game had been decided when McKee hooked up with WR Brycen Tremayne for a 14-yard touchdown. McKee proved to be the more accurate of the Stanford signal callers completing 15 of 18 tosses for 118 yards and a TD. For KSU Thompson completed nine of 14 passes for 144 and a pick to go with 33 yards rushing on 10 carries and two TDs.
Telling Stat: 3rd and 8= No Bueno for the Cardinal; Kansas State's defense combined with Stanford's ineptitude forced the Cardinal into an average length of eight yards to go on third down.
Colorado 35- Northern Colorado 7: Boulder, CO- The Northern Colorado Golden Bears came to Folsom Field with high hopes and a new HC. Former Stanford and Broncos WR Ed McCaffrey paced the UNC sideline while CU looked to have a good start to 2021 under HC Karl Dorrell. The Buffs took awhile to get rolling while the Golden Bears seemed more interest in taking cheap shots and starting fights than playing sound football. The Buffs got their run game going in the second quarter when they took advantage of a bad UNC punt and a personal foul tacked onto the return to drive 28 yards for their first score. That score was a Jarek Broussard one-yard run. Four of CU' s five TDs on the night were short TD bursts by four different backs as they would control the game form the mid-point of the second quarter on. QB Brendon Lewis completed 10 of 15 passes for 102 yards and a TD for the Buffs, but he did sometimes look lost on the field. Broussard finished the night with 15 carries for 94 yards and a TD. UNC QB Dylan McCaffrey (Son of Ed), completed 24 of 42 aerials for 236 yards and a TD in the loss.
Telling Stat: 281/20 =W; Colorado ran the ball for 281 yards while holding UNC to 20 yards on the ground which paved the way for their easy win.
Purdue 30- Oregon State 21: West Lafayette, IN- The guys with the train tracks on their helmets made fewer mistakes and held on for a win at Ross-Ade Stadium. The teams traded TDs in the first quarter with RB B.J. Baylor opening the scoring with a 9-yard TD run and Purdue countered with an 11-yard TD scamper by RB Zander Horvath who is the modern embodiment of former Purdue FB Mike Alstott. He just does not have the FB title as the FB position has been all but eliminated from the modern game. The Beavers offense then went dormant over the next two quarters while Purdue squandered opportunities to take a stranglehold on the game. Instead, they settled for three FGs from PK Mitchell Fineran that covered 48, 39 and 22 yards. Purdue actually had a shot at a fourth FG early on, but a delay of game penalty followed immediately by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Purdue bench took them out range. Clinging to a 16-7 lead to start the final stanza, the Boilermakers saw the Beavers put up two TDs to their one and cut the score to 23-21 with 3:13 to play. OSU then gave up a 50-yard TD strike from QB Jack Plummer to TE Payne Durham to put the game out of reach with 2:09 to play. Plummer finished the game with 313 yards passing and two TDs while Horvath led all rushers with 81 yards and a TD of his own. For the defeated Beavers, QBs Chance Nolan and Sam Noyer combined to complete 20 of 37 aerials for 251 yards and an interception.
Telling Stat: Donut in the middle means a W; For a 35:02 span from the 3:17 mark of the first quarter until the 13:05 mark of the fourth quarter, Purdue's defense limited OSU to 73 total yards and kept them off the scoreboard. That defensive effort won the game for the Boilermakers.
BYU 24- Arizona 16: Las Vegas, NV- The Cougars and Wildcats played this one at Allegiant Stadium in what was aptly called the Vegas Kickoff Classic. The only thing that really kicked off was the 2021 edition of the modern tragedy that is Wildcats football. BYU QB Jaren Hall threw for 198 yards and two scores while also running for 36 more yards to keep the Cougars comfortably in control for most of the contest. While holding a 21-3 lead the Cougars let UofA back into the game when they got nailed for a safety and then surrendered a short TD drive after the ensuing free kick. BYU then led 21-13 at that point. However, both defenses held firm over the final quarter. The teams traded FGs to finish the game. UofA QB Gunner Cruz lit up the stat sheet completing 34 of 45 passes for 336 yards, a TD and an interception in the loss.
Telling Stat: Bent but not broken; The BYU defense gave up 163 yards in the final quarter but forced a missed FG and an had interception while allowing only three points to secure the win for the Cougars.
Nevada 22- California 17: Berkeley, CA- The Cal offense caught fire quickly then fizzled like a bad sparkler on the 4th of July in their loss to the Wolfpack. The first quarter was owned by Cal who raced out to a 14-0 lead with TD marches of 63 and 72 yards. A one-yard run by RB Damien Moore and a two-yard TD catch by WR Mikko Remigio accounted for the scores. Cal had out gained Nevada 135 yards to six and held the ball for 13:13 of the first quarter. At the quarter break, Nevada HC Jay Norvell read his team the riot act for just about the full time between periods. It definitely woke up his team as they then took the game over for the final 45 minutes. Nevada crawled back into the game with a pair of field goals that covered 44 and 35 yards from PK Brandon Talton and a 43-yard scoring strike from QB Carson Strong to WR Romeo Doubs. Nevada trailed, 14-13 at the intermission. Third quarter saw the Nevada continue to stymie the Cal offense while the offense took the lead on Strong's second TD pass, a 16-yard strike to WR Elijah Cooks and 49-yard FG from Talton. Cal got within striking distance of the Wolfpack when they capped off a nine-play, 64-yard drive with a 24-yard FG by PK Dario Longhetto. Cal wouldn't threaten again. They wouldn't even get the ball past their own 25-yard line as an. interception from QB Chase Garbers and turnover downs killed the Golden Bears last two drives. Strong completed 22 of 39 passes 312 yards with two TDs and an interception in the win. Garbers finished with 25 completions in 38 passes for 177 yards, a TD and an interception for Cal.
Telling Stat: 3, 175= W for the Pack. After that bad first quarter, Nevada's defense allowed Cal to gain just 175 yards and score only three points over the final three periods of play.
Utah 40- Weber State 17: Salt Lake City, UT: It was an emotional home opener for the Utes as they mourned the off-season passing of RB Tyler Huntley in front of a jam-packed home crowd in the newly renovated and expanded Rice-Eccles Stadium. Once the game got under way, the Utes did what they do in season openers of late; they work over an inferior opponent and get almost everyone a little playing time under their belts in the process. One bright spot for this year's Utes is Baylor Transfer QB, Charlie Brewer. Brewer commanded the offense well, completing 19 of 27 passes for 233 yards with two TDs and an interception. Brewer had plenty of time to throw thanks to a solid Utah OL led by SR. Center Nick Ford. (Shameless, but well deserved plug for my old teammate Mike Ford's son who is one of the top OL in the league.) RB Tavion Thomas cracked the century mark on the ground for Utah gaining 107 yards on 12 carries with pair of scoring runs that covered 12 and 14 yards. The Utah defense shut down the Wildcats for most fo the night allowing only a late TD after there game had well been decided.
Telling Stat: Doubled-Tripled-Done; This game was not as close at the score indicates. Utah doubled and even tripled the Wildcats on most statistical categories and were just a couple unforced errors away from hanging at least 55 points the board.
Oregon 31- Fresno State 24: Eugene, OR- The (not seen for years) Fresno State Moral Victory Tour made a stop at Autzen Stadium where the Bulldogs beat the Ducksin every phase of the game but the scoreboard last Saturday. Everything looked great for the Ducks early as they jumped out to a 21-6 second quarter lead on the strength of a pair of short TD scampers by RBs C.J. Verdell and Travis Dye and a 14-yard TD reception by WR Johnny Johnson III. Then, as the happy Autzen faithful went out for locally sourced craft beers and hummus dip, the Bulldogs proceed to take a bite out of the Quacks. FSU QB Jake Haener threw a 17-yard TD Pass to WR Jalen Cooper just before the half to cut the lead to 21-13. Then, the Bulldogs shutout UO in the third period while Haener walked into the end zone untouched and then completed a pass to TE Juan Rodriguez for the two-point conversion. The game was now tied at 21-21. Three possessions later, the Webfoots fumbled on their own 35-yard line. The UO defense did stiffen and the Bulldogs settled for a 22-yard FG from PK Abraham Montano to take a 24-21 lead. At that point, it was so quiet at Atuzen, you could hear Nike's stock price drop. Then, it was FSU's turn to fumble and they did at their own 19-yard line. UO turned that into a game-tying 25-yard FG from PK Camden Lewis. After forcing an FSU punt on their next drive, Oregon pulled their tails out of the fire when QB Anthony Brown raced 30 yards for a TD on 4th & 2. Now down 31-24, the Bulldogs last chance to tie the game ended when Haener was sacked on 4th & 15 from his own 20-yard line. Haener had a good game slicing up the UO secondary, completing 30 of 43 passes for 298 yards and a TD. He also ran for a score. Brown finished with 172 yards through the air and 56 on the ground and a pair of TDs.
Telling Stat: 1-0; The Ducks survived and are 1-0 and now preparing for going to TheeeOhio State next week. That's all that matters to Webfoot fans.
Utah State 26- Washington State 23: Pullman, WA- The Cougars turned in the last of the pathetic performances by Pac 12 North teams in the final game of this weekend's conference slate. The Cougars managed to Coug it alright. Midway through the second period, Wazzu trailed the Aggies, 5-3. Yes, 5-3. USU's lead was due to safety where the Wazzu OL threw several lookout blocks and got QB Jayden de Laura sacked in his own end zone. Speaking of lookout blocks, de Laura had come on for starter Jarrett Guarantano who was injured early on. WSU seemed to wake up after the safety and got a 26-yard field goal by PK Dean Janikowski to take a 6-5 lead into the half. The third quarter belonged to the Cougars as the offense cranked out two TDs thanks to a 64-yard TD dash by RB Max Borghi and 12-yard TD strike from de Laura to WR Donovan Ollie. The WSU defense also seems to have a hold on things forcing field goals on two USU drives and stopping several others. Another Janikowski FG would give the Cougs a 23-11 lead early in the final quarter. WSU's control of the game fell apart down the stretch. After a 2-yard TD run by RB Calvin Tyler Jr. to cut the deficit to 23-18, the Aggies forced a quick 3-and-out from Wazzu. With 2:54 left, the Aggies drove 78 yards for the wining score. QB Logan Bonner swiftly led his Aggies down the field hitting on all seven passes he threw on the drive. A PI call on Wazzu set up USU at the WSU seven-yard line. Bonner then found WR Deven Thompkins for the go ahead score with :11 left. USU also made the two-point conversion to take a 26-23 lead. WSU's last hope ended in a Cal-Stanford type scrum with USU recovering a fumble to end the game. Wazzu gave up over 400 yards with Utah State achieving almost a true 50/50 split with 219 passing and 222 rushing.
Telling Stat: 12/113 1 TD; Utah State's defense held WSU star RB Max Borghi in check which gave the USU offense the time it needed to pull out the game. Aside from a 64-yard TD run, the Aggies held Borghi to just 49 yards and zero scores on his 11 other touches.
Observations
...They paid for this; Washington paid $675,000 to be humiliated by the Montana Grizzlies.
...Double Deuce; Wazzu allowed the rare combo of a safety and a two-point conversion in their loss to Utah State.
...A fixture; Is it just me or has C.J. Verdell played for Oregon forever? I think he'll be offered a tenured position soon.
...Feeling WAC'd; Four Pac 12 games this week feature seven teams that at one time or another were members of the old Western Athletic Conference. San Diego State travels to Arizona, BYU hosts Utah, UNLV heads to ASU and Hawaii will play at Oregon State.
...They still roll; Alabama is still a machine. That is all.
...Brutal, but true; Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times had this bit of hindsight for those who attended UW's upset at the hands of Montana, "The fans- 64,053 was the announced attendance, though the actual figure was significantly smaller- probably should have stayed home. There, at least the alcohol is a whole lot cheaper."
...Literally their Achilles heel; returning Big Ten Running Back of the Year and cornerstone of Minnesota's offense, Mohamed Ibrahim is gone for the season after suffering a lower leg injury against TheeeOSU. Rumor is he tore his achilles and now the Golden Gophers are a hamstrung bunch.
...Not impressed; A lot has been made over Coastal Carolina's 52-14 whipping of The Citadel. Seriously folks, hasn't every team in the south whipped The Citadel by now?
...He's gone; UConn HC Randy Edsall announced he was retiring at the end of the season following his team's 38-28 loss to Holy Cross of the FCS last Saturday. Come Monday, It was announced that Edsall is vacating the post immediately and will be replaced by DC Lou Spanos. The decision to leave earlier was reached by the old "mutual agreement" between Edsall and AD David Benedict. Just leave now, Randy
...A really big 10; Presbyterian College QB Ren Hefley set an FCS record by throwing 10 TD passes in the Blue Hose's 80-43 win over St. Andrews College. The old record of nine TD passes was held by two QBs. Portland State's Drew Hubel who did it in 2007 and the one and only Willie Totten who accomplished the feat with Mississippi Valley State back in 1984 when he had some guy named Rice as one of his receivers.
...Memo to UCLA; You don't own the Victory Bell, you don't get to use the sound of it at your games.
...Only in the Palouse; Wazzu fans on their massage boards are now urging HC Nick Rolovich to keep up his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine so he can be fired for not meeting the requirement for all state employees to be vaccinated by October 18th. Facepalm.
...Don't sweat it; Someone please tell Duke and Indiana fans that Midnight Madness is just around the corner.
...Just a rumor; There is no truth to the rumor that the ghosts of Darrell Royal and Frank Broyles have been seen around Fayetteville in advance of the Texas-Arkansas game this week.
...Old Central Valley vibes; Fresno State is playing at UCLA in two weeks. If they throw the same scare into the bRuins that they did into Oregon, the Bulldogs would be channeling their old HC Pat Hill. The Fresno State pattern under Hill was to scare the big teams, get your guys banged up in the process and then limp into league play and finish third. That's called Bulldog excellence!
...Embarrassment in Fort Collins; Colorado State didn't; just get upset by FCS power South Dakota State, they got humiliated, 42-23 by the Jackrabbits. How bad was it? SDSU emptied their benches in the fourth quarter. I advise CSU HC Steve Addazio to invest in asbestos pants, because his seat is so hot now that Jim Harbaugh and Clay Helton's seats look cool in comparison.
...This just in; Petros is still calling games and he is still annoying.
...Not a great delivery; Don't get on Notre Dame HC for his execution joke. Not many coaches have what John McKay had which was great comic timing. Also, I'm sure Kelly is getting vilified for trying to quote an old USC HC on the ND message boards.
...Almost kid; McKenzie Milton almost pulled off the comeback v ND for FSU. However he captured a whole legion of fans in the process. His mom also got a whole ocean of sympathy tears from all the other moms in America who agonized with her as he took the field.
...Beaten by a Nimrod; Utah State PK Elliott Nimrod hit on all three of his FG attempts and kicked a PAT for Utah State in their 26-23 win over Wazzu.
...The other side of the ball; Anyone crediting all of UCLA's good play to their offense hasn't watched them play the last few years. The offense has put up good numbers, It's UCLA's defense that has improved.
...Horsehide note; the final month of the baseball season has some great pennant races. The NL East and West along with the Wild Card races in both leagues will be nail-biters to the end. Crazy thought, what if Seattle sneaks past Boston and New York for the final AL Wild Card spot? Hmmmmmmmm.
...Horsehide giveaway note; One of the coolest fan giveaways in baseball history will occur on 9/26 when the Milwaukee Brewers will be giving away a Bob Uecker talking Bobblehead.
...A little off; Something just looks little off with this picture of Texas' new end zone renovation.
CFL Update
Hey, I know, you're all eagerly awaiting the news of what is going on in the 110-yard fields of the Great White North. The season did start a couple of months late, but it did start. The strength of the league is still in the West Division where the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (Where Bud Grant once coached ) are 4-1. The Commissioner's favorite squad, The Edmonton Eskimos, are now called the Edmonton Elks and are in third place in the west at 2-2. The East Division has a three-way tie for first place between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts who all sport 2-2 records.
That's cool, eh? According to the folks at 3Downnation.com. Hamilton owner Bob Young bought a beer for all season ticket holders attending their Labour Day game. Free Beer!

Low Score Game of the Week: Goodwell, OK- This game comes from the NAIA ranks where the Langston University Lions held on for a 10-7 win over the Oklahoma Panhandle State Aggies to go 1-0 in Sooner Athletic Conference play. All the scoring took place in the first half. OPSU jumped out to an early 7-0 lead when RB Jamalrian Jones knifed into the end zone from one-yard out midway through the first quarter. Langston got all their 10 points in the second quarter on a 24-yard field goal from PK Hunter Elliott and a 18-yard TD run by RB Larry Harrington. Neither team threatened to score again. All but the last drive of the game ended with a punt. Langston secured the win with an 11-play 59-yard drive on the final drive that took the last 6:32 off the clock.
Blowout Game of the Week: Belton, TX- Mary Hardin-Baylor makes yet another appearance in this column as the Crusaders crushed the Simpson College Crusaders, 84-6 in a D-III tilt. The Crusaders punted just once while racking up 601 yards of offense and crossing the double stripe 12 times.
Razorback Report: Fayetteville, AR- A very loud chorus of boos from the home crowd greeted the Razorbacks when they headed for the locker room at halftime trailing the Fighting White Owls of Rice, 10-7. The Hogs offense didn't wake up until the fourth quarter when they scored 31 points to put away the Owls. RB Trelon Smith rushed for 102 yards on 22 carries to lead all rushers while QB KJ Jefferson completed 12 of 28 aerials for 128 yards, a TD and an interception for Arkansas. Up next for the Razorbacks is a date with their ancient rivals from the old Southwest Conference, the Texas Longhorns. This game has been sold out for quite awhile.

I'm at that stage of life now when I run into co-workers in the supermarket and our conversations now center on retirement plans and grandkids. Wow.
Mud Pie is one of the best desserts ever.
The Love Boat TV series does not hold up well 40 years later.
Until next time folks, remember that being able to run the ball when have to is the sign of a good offense.
