I believe Barry was still an infant when his father was involved in the auto accident that eventually claimed his life (after being in a coma for almost two years).
Back in high school, I saw sickening footage of USoCal's All-American goons, the McKeever twins (https://www.si.com/vault/1959/11/16/601092/lay-those-elbows-down-mike).

You're right. And Mike McKeever retired early from USC's team because of head trauma. To his credit, after his football career, he was heavily involved with the United Way, City of Hope and Big Brothers.
Barry McKeever and Jennifer Hill of Stanford successfully sued the NCAA to avoid drug testing.

Oregon and UCLA tied up at 14 at start of 3rd.
Re: This week in opponent games - martyup - 10-21-2017
ASU is destoying Utah. Not a good omen for the Toejams, who barely beat UT at home.

KSU leads OU 21-10 at the half. Go KSU?

Choklahoma?

Thanks ESPN for the app. I'm stuck in a backroom at Central City Comic Con dressed as Kylo Ren waiting to battle Jedi in training by Rey and Sabine Wren.

Now y'all know why I wasn't celebrating too wildly when Stanford beat Utah. They aren't and never should have been a Top 25 team, as they are about to lose their 3rd in a row. Stanford should have beaten them more soundly than 23-20.
The big takeaway for me here is USC played an inspired game against Stanford that it hasn't played against anyone else, and they aren't very much better than anyone else in the Pac-12, especially now since they have lost so many DL.

If they were, Utah wins against ASU. Also, looking at last weeks result, you would have to say UW wasn't a top 25 team either. I think you are correct about Utah, but this week is not what proves it.
Quote:The big takeaway for me here is U$C played an inspired game against Stanford that it hasn't played against anyone else, and they aren't very much better than anyone else in the Pac-12, especially now since they have lost so many DL.I think you are correct here also, but I also think that the injury factor on both sides of the ball is the biggest effect. It is a different team out there now than the one we played. USC as now constituted can play inspired ball and still get beat. That wasn't true in game 2.

UCLA blew it open and leads 31-14 with 5:50 remaining.
Re: This week in opponent games - DC 86 - 10-21-2017
Meanwhile, Central Florida beat Navy this afternoon to raise their record to 6-0. They look like the strongest non-power 5 FBS team at the moment and Scott Frost has become one of the hottest names in coaching circles, heavily linked to the sure-to-be-open-soon Nebraska job although he may aim higher. UCF's offensive co-ordinator is Troy Walters, one of the greatest Stanford players of all time. Surely as UCF and Frost's stars continue to rise his name will also become more prominent in coaching circles. Good to see success for a good guy.

Second play from scrimmage: 69 yard TD for Barkley (off of a direct snap).
Update: next series, Barkley 15 yard TD. 3-89, 2 TD in the first five minutes.
Re: This week in opponent games - csfoster - 10-21-2017
Rooting for U$C. Great win ASU.

Havent been very impressed with Notre Dames qb. He is very inaccurate.

Yes, but he's a great runner. N.D. will gash Stanford at will on the ground. Best case scenario is a shootout.
Re: This week in opponent games - Hurlburt88 - 10-21-2017
The matchup with Norte dame scares me. Unless our run defense shows some progress, will be a long night
Re: This week in opponent games - PalmTree - 10-21-2017
Yes, neither the SC-VD or PSU/UM games going as desired....Barkley 102 yards with 5 mins left in the 1st half & PSU up by 8
Re: This week in opponent games - BostonCard - 10-21-2017
Three turnovers not helping usc.
Berkeley after a hot start has been quiet.
BC
Re: This week in opponent games - OutsiderFan - 10-21-2017
Can't believe I thought Southern Cal could compete tonight. They look as bad as a team that barely beat Utah at home :P

Haha, shouldn't the f.orum auto.correct do something with that?
