Evidently, my prayers have been answered.
Last week, I called the Pac-12 play "praline flavored." It doesn't get much more scathing then that, and commissioner Larry Scott must have sent out a memo to the league telling everyone to sweeten things up.
In the biggest surprise of the week, USC took down Utah in a 42-24 win, proving the Utes aren't quite as titan-esque as we all thought. Everyone knew the Trojans have the talent; it was only a matter of putting it all together. It appears that they may be doing just that under interim head coach Clay Helton.
