Either Cincinnati has a great d-line or UCLA’s o-line stinks. Also some pretty crummy QB play in this game.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson is hot trash at QB for UCLA. That’s the big takeaway from what I saw in that game. Cincy also seemed to win both lines of scrimmage for most part, but haven’t looked at the stats as I type. Probably saw about 3/4 of it, but that is what I concluded when watching.

<p>So far, UCLA and UA look weaker than expected. However, Colorado (dominant 2nd half&nbsp;against CSU, dropping 52 total points in the contest)&nbsp;and Oregon State (dropping 36 points against Oklahoma State, even if their D gave up 50+ to the Cowboys) look better than expected. In my estimation, two road contests that may have been deemed the easiest of road games coming into the season look far more daunting.</p>

UW is having its way with eastern Washington and Easen looks like he will be a good QB for the huskies.  They’re up 14-0 in the first quarter.

Oregon up on Auburn 14-3 early.

If they can keep it up, Pac-12 will be 2-0 against P5 teams.

Clearly Oregon did the most in terms of going on the road against a ranked opponent and beating them solidly.

Washington did what it was supposed to against an overmatched opponent.

Utah looked pretty good against BYU.

I think our defense surprised to the upside today. Our offense hurt itself with penalties and failures to capitalize.  We probably should have been able to score in the 20’s given our total yards and turnover margin, but lots of places where we stepped in it; failure to convert a fourth and a couple, a punt from the 34, a partially blocked field goal.  This game would feel a lot better off it had finished 27-17 (NW also blew a few chances), even with the same margin. It wasn’t pretty, but NW is a legit P5 opponent, who will likely win 7+ games.
