UCLA is Still Alive in the Pac-12 South Race

Bruins must beat Arizona State to stay in contention

By Mitch Light

They’ve lost four games, the last three by an average of 30.3 points. They gave up 254 yard rushing to a team (Arizona) that was averaging 71.8 yards on the ground. They don’t have a win vs. a team with a winning record.

Will Utah make its ninth consecutive bowl game?

The first season of Pac-12 play has been a struggle for the Utes.

It has been quite a successful decade for the Utah football program. The Utes have made a bowl game in every season except 2002 over the last 10 years, including undefeated seasons in 2004 and 2008.

Arizona State Rolls the Dice with Dennis Erickson

The Sun Devils took the risk of hiring Dennis Erickson. And it paid off.

This article originally appeared in Athlon's 2007 College Football annual.

This is Dennis Erickson:

He won two national championships at the University of Miami.

He led downtrodden Oregon State to an 11–1 season capped off by a 41–9 rout of Notre Dame in the 2000 Fiesta Bowl.

He’s the all-time winningest coach in University of Idaho history, he guided Washington State to its first bowl victory since 1931, and his record in the college ranks is a gaudy 148–65–1.
