Let the attrition begin.
The PAC 12 became a veritable MASH unit on the western outpost of college football this weekend. No fewer than half of the teams in the PAC are currently playing with reserve quarterbacks. A seventh - Utah - is playing with a starter who is gutting through a leg injury that may have sidelined players of lesser constitution.
And its not just the quarterbacks. Stars and key contributors like Zack Moss, Theo Howard, JJ Taylor, Talanoa Hufanga, Britain Covey Jermar Jefferson and basically every Oregon receiver are also walking sidelines.
