That must have been Karl Dorrel. Stop both of them and UCLA wins... oh yeah... and score a touchdown.

Yeah, but really what's the women's badmitton coach at Stanford know about football, anyway?

Hey Mike in Seattle...
Only we can bash Scott. Go bash your own beatwriter.
And your commentary is off. When you played Oklahoma, you stopped their QB and WR, and lost because of some guy named Adrian.

Not easy to do with Washington's tested and game experienced offensive line, that will give Stanback all the time he needs to find Shackelford. It would be nice to see USC's offensive line do the same for Booty. Not to mention opening holes for an inside running game.

UW stopped OU's quarterback and WR?
Umm, the FIRST line in the AP's recap of the UW-OU game is "Paul Thompson found his go-to receiver..."
Allowing an unproven QB to throw for 270 and 2TDs and a receiver get 121 yards and 2TDs isn't much of a "stop"
UW defensive backs were routinely roasted (completely out of position perhaps a better description) in that game, and likely will be again today.
