So true.  A little soft at times but very talented.  The problem with Oregon's backup center was downright painful to watch.  That kid would go back to the sideline after a failed offensive series usually involving an erratic shotgun snap or two, and he looked absolutely helpless.  His teammates and coaches did everything they could to support him and give him confidence, but he just couldn't snap the ball to the QB consistently no matter what.  I've never seen anything like that at that level where one team is rolling and then an injury to the center derails them.  I think the Oregon backup QB would have managed otherwise because all they needed throughout the second half was a few more first downs and possibly a field goal and they often had nice field position.

Bad finish to bowl season for the Pac12, but 6-4 is still fine and I think Washington is coming with Chris Peterson and USC will improve and Stanford even with a new QB will be very good and there are others.   The B1G will be better with Penn State becoming a full roster, Michigan continuing to develop, and Ohio State being very hungry.  And of course the SEC west will be very good, but there is a lot of change in that conference which will be fun to watch.  The ACC despite the bowl results this year is definitely improving, and I hope Charlie Strong has a Charlie Strong defense at Texas along with some improvement on offense which I think would be good for the Big 12.  College football is great, and every year I love bowl season even if some of the games are blowouts.  Looking forward to next season already.
