The Washington State Cougars bounced back over the weekend, Dante Pettis set an NCAA record and the Pac-12 North could likely be decided at the Apple Cup. Here's our weekend wrap.
Theme of the week I: Line. Of. Scrimmage.
For all the creative playcalling and skill position talent in the conference, the division races have been framed by the trenches.
USC’s lines were in control against Arizona (for most of the game, at least); Washington’s defensive front has dominated all season; and Washington State’s front seven outplayed Stanford.
If you’re drafting lines (offense and defense as a package, and fully healthy), those are three that you’d want — the Huskies and Trojans, for sure, and probably the Cougars, too.
