Redemption was the theme for Week 2 as the PAC 12 tried to bounce back from an opening weekend that saw losses to an FCS team, two Mountain West teams and an SEC team. Headlined by Oregon's trip to East Lansing and, to a lesser degree, Oregon State's trip to the Big House in Michigan, the PAC 12 didn't exactly put a clamp on rising suspicions that this might be a bit of a transition year for a conference that has turned young, in particular with three true freshman quarterbacks in starting jobs around the league.
Some PAC 12 observations from the weekend that was:
- Utah's Travis Wilson suffered a sprained right shoulder in the Thursday night win over Utah State.
