Washington, Oregon and USC all play each other in the coming weeks, a trio of games that will impact races for both the Pac-12 title and Heisman Trophy.
The detour, hours from any campus, was not designed to hit the links, but rather to snag a few minutes with some of the league's most famous alumni — who would in turn form the basis for the latest marketing push emanating from the conference office. While in the past such an effort may have been centered on a few Hollywood luminaries who were affiliated with some of the 12 schools, this year's marching orders were succinct: quarterbacks on quarterbacks.
"All the hoopla is going to happen, and then we're going to get on the field, and it's going to be another football game," Huskies head coach Kalen DeBoer said this week."It's going to be about winning, just like it is every other game.
"They've done a great job schematically finding ways for to throw people open. He's got great vision down the field, and he's also being well protected," remarked Oregon coach Dan Lanning."A lot of times you want to go into the week and say you can't let this one guy beat us. The reality is for them, they have several guys they can get the ball to."
Whether that can hold up against the barrage they'll have to face over the coming weeks remains one of the bigger storylines as we reach the cusp of playoff rankings season. Five of their final six games are against teams currently in the top 25, and it was at this point last season when a tough road game in a hostile environment tripped up Lincoln Riley's team.
It has the potential to be as spectacular as everybody imagined when seeing roster after roster reload coming into the year.
