And, yet, the PAC 12 Network After Dark squad did not rank us in the top six of the PAC. Although, I get it. UNT can be dismissed as an outlier.

Okay, that makes a win against Auburn that much more important.

P12 kicked everyone's ass this weekend.

Good stuff. Although, Oregon's win was against a FCS school and they rolled up the points. I posted a link to John Canzano's editorial about it.

As has been said, if we had kept our ones in UNT game, we probably could have dropped 80.

Is this squad somewhere between the '90 and '91 teams in offensive and defensive talent?

I bring up the '91 squad as that team dropped 86 on UOP in the season opener at home, pulling the starters after the 1st half, having scored 6 TDs.

wasn't that the game that the cannon ran out of ammo?

Yes, it was. I was on the East side in Section TT for that game. For touchdowns 10, 11, and 12 the crowd supplied a "BOOM!!" cheer.

Rally Comm had saved one charge to signal victory at the end of the game.

I do know that's around the time UOP gave up football.

Fun fact: Cal's last Rose Bowl team lost to UOP.

Maybe that's not all that fun.

Valley boys. I'm not surprised.

Fun Fact: $C was for rich kids that could not get into to Furd, while UOP was for rich kids who could not get into $C. Storybook campus; looks like something from back East with ivy covered buildings.

I confess in having lost interest during that time. Tedford brought me back. So I cannot comment, but it sounds right. We actually have a complementary defense and offense.

Any team that scores 50 in a half is impressive.
