The Beavs showed heart on saturday in Arizona. Two hours before kick-off Canfield (back up QB) realized he would be playing in place of injured Moevao (shoulder). Then early in the first quarter, the best freshman running back in the nation, "Quiz" also goes down because of a shoulder injury.I will save you details, Canfield played okay. James Rodgers and Sammy Stoughter stepped up, which we needed badly. And our defense played very well. The previous week Arizona scored 45 points at Autzen Stadium. And our defense held the Wildcats to 17 points, AT HOME.
Kahut (kicker), went from the goat, to the hero in just a couple of minutes. If we would have had him, when we played Utah and Stanford both of those games would have been victories. Maybe people forget we played the first 3-4 games with no kicking game.
I like our chances vs the Ducks, especially at home. I am hoping and praying Quiz will be back for the game, but we can win without Moevao.
One more shout out: Coach Riley, who is the man. He can plug any of these wash up back ups we have, and help them play at their highest potential. He does a great job of getting everything out of even his 2nd string players.
Civil War prediction:*Subject to change depending on injuries

Portland Trail Blazers
I am disappointed a bit that we are not in first place in the division right now. We had a tough loss vs Pheonix last night, but we finally get some home games this week. Of the 14 games we have played, ten have been on the road. I am most interested in our game vs the Hornets this week. I have a feeling we could be seeing them in the first round, and a win this week against them would be big for our young guys and their confidence. Roy of course has been playing very well, Oden is starting to come alive, and Steve Blake is shooting lights out lately! We are still in a great spot, we need to win the games we are supposed to, and keep the under-dog games close.Cougs
I didn't see the scuffle at the begining of the game, though I would have liked to. I really thought the Cougs had it when they were down 24-27, who would have ever thought the final score would have been 48-24, and Max Hall threw for 5 interceptions.
I am interested to see what happens in terms of BCS for Utah and Boise St.
Pick em, whit's great week, and next week.
Some of you really struggled this week. I must give credit to Whit, she has only missed one questions out of ten (over the past 2 weeks). She is more then doubling everyone. Way to go Whit, you must have a very informative husband! Way to go Frau Whit.A few of you were too focused on other things like the Holy war to submit your picks this week. I added a new rule, you are penalized -$20 if you miss a week.
This week's questions: (Week 3)
1. (Worth $20) Of course the Civil War. The Beavs will beat the Ducks. (Yes/No)
2. (Worth $10) The cival war game will be decided by LESS THAN 3 points? (Yes/No)
3. (Worth $10) Greg Oden will score at least 40 points in three home games this week. (Yes/No)
4. (Worth $10) Jazz will lose more than one game against the four horrible teams they play this week? (All at home: Bulls, Grizzlies, Kings, & the Nets) (Yes/No)
5. (Worth $10) Mizzou basketball will beat Cal this week? (Yes/No)
Bonus: Whit will win Week 3 of the pick 'em contest? (Yes/No)
Please email me your answers by wednesday 5pm MST.
