Predicted the Stanford loss, and the Utah loss. Still think we have a shot at beating Oregon, as we match up better with them, but attrition is killing us. We really DONT have any depth, and as the season goes on, it's harder to beat good teams with depth when you don't have any.

Sanctions make it difficult, but we can still have a good season.

Plain and simple. Our offensive line is horrible this year.

I decided not even to watch the game live-- I went and saw Thievery Corporation play here in DC. I did DVR it, but erased that too so as not to raise my blood pressure with a God awful hangover (and seeing the Saints shite the bed too made me less excited to watch it).

After seeing how awful we were against Syracuse in person, I was fairly sure we would be flat. We always play horribly in our PAC-12 road opener.

One thing I hope this loss does is rally the players. I said to friends last week that it seemed like we were playing not to lose. Now maybe the mentality will change to playing to win.
