Donning the koolaid man suit, here's a way too early set of predictions for the stars of each game this season.
NAU - Manny: Showcase game of the season, where he shows not only he can run the ball, but hits for a few really nice TD passes. Latu shows he's a load at Nose tackle.
TT - Orr or Perry, Perry or Orr. Both with big games, but think Orr might take one to the house and Devils show some grit defending the quick pass / Slant.
UTSA - Ballage: Proves way too big, way too fast in the second half en route to 2 TD's and 150 yards.
USC - Best defensive line wins this game, and think Smallwood has a monster game, but USC has no answer for DR and he runs wild on the Trojans. Haack with a TD pass on specials.
UCLA - Wicker has been licking his chops for this game, and plants Rosen repeatedly. Think Kohl and Epps work the middle for big games.
Colorado - Tim White gets into the act and can't be covered en route to his biggest receiving day of the year. Wrenn with his best day of the season on defense.
Washington State - Back and forth game and think there is a surprise player --- someone outside the starting 4 in the secodary makes a big play to win this for us. Could be Rhodes, could be Echols, but going with Echols, making a big int late to seal a Win.
Oregon - Snarkiest pick of the bunch... ASU saves all 3 timeouts in the second half and Wilkens drives the team down for a last second QB sneak to win. Game ball goes to Wilkens who in turn gives it back to CTG thanking him for the timeouts.
Utah - Fiso already leading the team in tackles wraps up 20 Utes this game en route to a big win at home. Harry with his biggest game of the season on offense.
Washington - Feels like this one is where the seniors need to step up. Likely a cold wet game up in the northwest... Feels like a game that LM makes his biggest stand of the year, and shakes loose a couple turnovers to surprise the huskies.
UA - We've been saving our secret weapon all season for this. DR starts running well, Ballage gets in on the act, but Nick Ralson, scores 4 tds near the goal line en route to holding up the cup.
