"A 65-38 loss at the hands of rival Oregon meant El Paso instead of Pasadena, but a third straight Top 25 finish was proof that the program has a legitimate claim to the No. 2 spot in the league behind the Trojans."
Nice logic after the beat down we gave them. must be the huge Bowl wins they have had. :lol:

That really is a baffling sentence.

They deserve the spot behind the Trojans, whom they beat. But in front of the Ducks, who handed them their asses at home?

The author must be a "Beaver Beliver".

As soon as he got an opportunity, he became an instant star, running like a more powerful version of Barry Sanders
Wow, another comparison to Barry, this one almost suggesting he could be better, ugh. One question, how many long runs did Quizz break? I think his longest was like 39 yards. Barry was explosive, Quizz just runsfor a gain consistently. He IS NOT a more powerful version of Barry Sanders He is a solid 4 yards and a cloud of dust running back.

Number 2 team in conference... Thats a laugh. I would say that falls to California if not Oregon.. They scored a whopping 3 points in bowl game against Pitt. Thats some ferocious offense they have. I know was with injuries but still. I doubt they scare anyone. Oregon on other hand poses a lot of problems for defenses. Just look at the 65 points they put up agains those beavs.

A more powerful Barry Sanders? That is quite possibly the most idiotic statement I have heard in a long... long time.

I predict this will be a long year for Quiz. Opposing defenses will be ready for him, and the deep threat of Sammy Straughter is gone. Straughter's amazing abilities allowed the Beavs to win a game or two last season that would have otherwise been losses. Defenses will have an easier time keying in on the Rodgers brothers.

Clueless. I don't doubt OSU will compete this year, but this sentence is a joke.

My thoughts exactly. Although a completely dominating running back often can't be stopped, I don't think Quiz is quite that dominating. However, if he puts up similar numbers, I'll drink the kool-aid for next year.

When I saw the thread title, my natural thought was that somebody thinks USC is going to be #3. ;)
