Team of the week: Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

Game recap: The Bears never gave themselves a chance at the Rose Bowl. They allowed UCLA to score on all six of its first-half possessions.
Smith’s first pick set up a Soma Vainuku touchdown run of one yard, flipping a potential two-score USC deficit into a tie.
Conference implication: Hello, Rosen.
With starting center, Max Tuerk, out for the season, Khaliel Rodgers took over under center for the rest of the game. Hopes for the North title aren’t lingering as Stanford is taking control. UCLA stumbled against two good teams and are working their way back.
The home team is a flawless 4-0 AST in the last four contests between the two Pacific 12 Conference foes. Devante Mays leads the rushing attack for Utah State with 410 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Conference implications: Although this will likely be the only conference win for the Buffs, this victory is meaningful. Utah’s 6-0 start was its best since 2010, when the Utes won their first eight games….
Up Next: Oregon will travel for matches at Utah, Friday, at 7 p.m. PT and at Colorado, Saturday at 6 p.m. PT. Even with the loss to Florida, and by virtue of their previous win over Alabama, Ole Miss would win a three-team tiebreaker among ‘Bama and LSU if all three finished at 7-1. Wilson has struggled at times this season, as he has thrown seven touchdowns to three interceptions. USC coach gets fired.
It’s no coincidence that Smith, the middle linebacker, was in on three of Wilson’s interceptions. The senior tailback has rushed for 783 total yards and has eight touchdowns on the season. Hang on tight, because the South is up for grabs. It was expected the Utes wouldn’t escape the Pac-12 without at least one loss. Then Utah’s Kyle Whittingham, nominated by many to be the next Trojans coach, might have flunked the audition if there really was one. And Utah is still a 3½-point underdog to USC.
Wyoming is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. It was all too much for the Huskies. He had rushed for 222 yards on Cal.
“He said we’ve got to take Booker out of the game and force the passing game”, Helton explained. Next week, a visit to Pullman, Washington, to play the Cougars can affect how the North division pans out. Washington went with K.J. Carta Samuels after Jake Browning was out with an injury. Wilson came into the game with just three interceptions all season. But his quarterback, Luke Falk, gets offensive player of the week honors.
Norris’ situation is that of a leader for the country’s surprise team.
No. 17 OKLAHOMA 63, TEXAS TECH 27: In Norman, Oklahoma, Samaje Perine ran for 201 yards and four touchdowns and helped Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield top his old team.
The Trojans’ interim head coach Clay Helton was in his first game as the coach replacing the troubled Steve Sarkisian is the seventh-straight USC Coach to win his home debut. “They’re driven. That stems for great leadership”. Arizona has a tough schedule, considering it goes on the road for two-straight weeks, so fingers are crossed in Wildcats territory.
