The Solid Verbal: Pac-12 elites are pulling away from the pack
The west coast is playing in the shallow end.
***
On the latest and final conference preview, Ty and Dan preview the 2017 Pac-12 season and try to answer the following questions:
• We know about USC QB Sam Darnold’s talent, but where are the certainties and question marks on a very talented Trojan roster?
• How much better can Washington get with a healthy, experienced QB Jake Browning, but without a number of huge pieces off to the NFL?
• Can Stanford win the conference behind strong offensive line and LB/DB play?
• Between Oregon rebooting, UCLA having an excellent defense, Colorado and Washington State trying to continue their leaps, and Utah staying the predictably good (but not great) course, who will emerge of the conference’s second tier?
• If there’s anything to feel good about between Arizona and Arizona State, what ... is it?
• Can Oregon State and Cal show glimmers of what’s to come beyond 2017?
• BONUS: Notre Dame will win more than four games, but with two new coordinators/schemes, a new starting QB in Brandon Wimbush, and a supposedly new Brian Kelly, how high can the Irish climb against a tricky schedule?
.... and much more!
