Can you believe it’s week 3 already? Pac will be gone before we know it! Sad.

Beavs got this, of course.

38-17

I’m going to be out and about today so I’ll put the game thread up early.

Gooo Beavs!

Final prediction: 49-17 (Original score adjusted for Smith’s overly aggressive coaching errors)

Just some quick takeaways from Saturday before moving on to my prediction.

Needs improvement:

1. Defense was lethargic, but that picked up by Q2.
2. Smith still doesn’t understand FGs and probabilities. This will obviously never correct, and anything to the contrary is an excuse by fans to protect “their guy”. It’s going to be bad in close games vs good opponents, though, so it’s a big deal.
3. WRs. Irish can’t be the #3. This is the same as last year when Martinez should have been the starter from day 1. This staff doesn’t always get the best option on the field. I’d like to see Zachary Card get a shot. He had great film. Vaslin. Even Noga looked better. Irish can’t be the guy, though.
4. Ivy had a bad game, and that could get uglier vs better competition, but he had good form, and that will go a long way. Secondary overall was fine. D was fine. No drop off as others expected. If anything they seemed to get more pressure and finish more plays. Good tackling overall.

I think this week is even uglier for the opponent. Beavs are tuned up and at home.

56-17, Beavs. Though, the quicker clock does make higher scores harder…I’ll say a 5TD spread.

I’m sticking with 45-13, Beavs.

DJ with 4 total TDs in his debut.

I think the big thing is to savor this game and every game this year. This season is like sipping a Bailey’s or eating mousse cake. You want to really sit it in and savor this. It’s basically Fall (we have leaves dropping already!), air is cooling, angle of the sun changing, corn and pumpkins ripening, and the Beavs about to go [rage] undefeated…enjoy, savor, and Go Beavs!

12:30 on CBS.

Can you believe it’s here? And it will be over before we know it. Savor every game this year, Beavs! We’ll never see PAC football as we know and love it again.

I’m going Beavs either at 1 loss or undefeated this year. I think they’re going to have a rage year and obliterate people. We’ll see.

Final in this one:

45-13.
