Conference play was underway for the rest of the Pac 10. Here are the results:
Washington State 41, Oregon 20: strong road win for #13 WSU (3-0).
Oregon State 31, Arizona State 20: another road win, the Beavers move up to #24 in the rankings with this win (3-1). First loss on the year for ASU. 3 TD passes for Reese, a good returning QB.
Cal 27, Washington 19: 4-0 start for #18 Cal.
USC 37, Stanford 34: #1 USC escapes, outscoring the Cardinal 14-6 in the 4th. First loss of the year for Stanford.
As far as the Virginia game, it was good to see the defense force turnovers. I strongly believe we will have to do that this season, particularly since we seem inept against the run. Perhaps Jack Farmer was actually doing something last year when he wasn't making tackles?
The pass defense was good, holding the UVA QB to 13-34 passing for 259 yards.
Shy went 22-35 for 262 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT. I'm very pleased with the last two games.
Nicolas Morris ended with 34 carries for 165 yards.
OT Paul Glover had his first dominant game. 2 key run blocks and 3 pancakes. We just need him to find some way to stay healthy.
Brian Anderson had 8 tackles (6 solo) along with the fumble recovery and TD.
Davis had 10 tackles (5 solo), a sack and a forced fumble.
CB Dwyer had 4 tackles (2 solo), 2 stuffs, and a pair of passes defended.
Lots of strong performances. Now we have to find a way to shore up our run defense ...
