Hello,
Desmond Howard showed his lack of football knowledge and prejudice against allegedly mid-major football teams. He predicted that Washington would beat BYU, he was wrong. He also predicted Oregon St. would beat TCU, he was wrong again. Let me guess Desmond, you are now going to predict that Virginia Tech is going to beat Boise St. I think that will actually be a pretty good game and I look forward to watching the Broncos win. Desmond please fade back into obscurity now.
In all fairness, after watching last night's BYU-Washington game, I thought either team could have won that game. I was actually disappointed by Jake Locker's performance. He didn't look as good as I thought he would. He looked like a good solid quarterback last night, not a Heisman contending quarterback. Meanwhile the two headed BYU quarterback monster looked solid. Both looked good and I see why Coach Mendenhall is having a tough time picking between the two players. Nelson looks to be a good runner and certainly has more mobility and Heaps has a rocket arm.
BYU has a brutal schedule this season and it was important for the Cougars to win this game in order to hopefully finish above .500. Both BYU's offense and defense looked good. Although how good is hard to truly determine after one game. Maybe Washington just isn't that good. We'll know a lot more about Washington when they return home to play 1-0 Syracuse. I'm cheering for Washington to do well. They have a strong legacy and a great young coach in Steve Sarkisian. I'm a big Sarkisian fan, not just because he used to be a BYU quality quarterback and a former assistant coach with USC, but that certainly helps. Actually I wish things would have worked out that he'd been been USC's head coach and not the smug Lane Kiffin.
I continue to wonder about the Pac 10's viability as a football conference. They finished 6-4 in the first weekend. But the six wins came against cream puffs. In all the games where the two teams were more evenly matched the 4 Pac-10 teams lost. Good thing the Pac-10 has the Utes coming next season, they can show the alleged big boys how to play some real football. As for right now the Pac 10 remains USC and the the little sisters of the poor. We'll get a better idea of how good the Pac 10 conference will be in football in Week 3. They play a bunch of weak teams again next week, then week 3 will be a true measuring stick.
It seems to me we should start judging teams by how good the team is and not what conference they play in.
