Book from Oak Ridge got start against Wake today over Wimbush. Looks really good. 325 yards,.. 2TD's. Big offensive spark. 30 PT win over Wake.. I always liked him. Thought he was over shadowed by Browning in HS>

Me either. I believe they are overrated.I'm not overly sold on Wash after watching them struggle at times with ASU
Agreed Cookies. Love to see a kid grind it out. Learns the system and wins the job after a lot of hard work. Didn't transfer or complain. Christ you are getting a ND degree. Lazer for an arm and you can tell coach and teammates have a lot of confidence in him. Athletically a better runner than many think as well. ND vs Stanford is going to be a great game next week. I would say Stanford is better but ND is at home. Stanford was incredible in 2nd half against a much improved Oregon team. Would love to see Cardinal win because they have a shot to be in BCS and at this point the only WC team who has any chance. I'm not overly sold on Wash after watching them struggle at times with ASU.
I still like Washington’s chances. Auburn could very well knock off Georgia or Alabama and a 1 loss Washington would be looking good. I actually had the same feeling as you watching Stanford struggle with San Diego St. Stanford of the second half vs Oregon looked like a playoff team. The first half Stanford looked lost. Oregon actually looked legit up until they collapsed. They were clicking like the Ducks of old.
U of W 6x in Redzone against Auburn and couldn't do anything. That killed them. Brutal. i know what you mean about Stanford and UofO looked like the old teams with that speed in the 1st half. Herbert is stud.
To be honest after watching BAMA play 3x this year does it really matter anyway? I haven't seen that sort of talent on one team in a very, very long time. Just downright silly.
Happy for Book. Def the spark they need on offense. They have enough talent to beat Stanford at home if they can score some points. I know WF isn't a good measure but its a great move by kelly because of the confidence boost.
Pretty cool about the talent of football we have in this area. Guys are playing in big games left and right.
I second that!Burr Kirven and Browning are why I turn the channel on
I think people underestimate browning...they complain about his arm strength (when i see jared goff or aaron rodgers throw, i see a difference) but he has been able to out 40 + yards on it without much of an issue...i think he can work on that..but you look at guys like baker mayfield or desean watson...can they through the ball any harder than browning...and will all qbs, they need a good ol and wrs to make it work....when jake has that, he is surgical in his passing..he can see field and read defenses..i think he sometimes doesnt play to his strength or always trust himself..but when he is at his best, he is lights out..i think he has a better grasp on the qb position than darnols...i think darnold was loved cus he could chuck it and he had thay rose bowl game...i thinknin todays nfl...very few qbs transcend the system...rodgers, brees, maybe goff one day...i think tom brady is the goat but is he partially a product of the new england system..i think browning could be a starter given the right coaching and team..think goff and mcvay..i think having been at washington probably diservices his review somewhat..if he put up the same numbers he did in soph year i dont think he would be questioned..also this whole notion of big game issues for him is misnomer...see article

He has a great arm! and a very smart player! Unfortunately, the UW offensive line isn't that great and it shows in big games.but he has been able to out 40 + yards on it without much of an issue
UW may be slightly overrated, but I also think Arizona St is a lot better than last year. Watched a little of this game, and ASU played with focus and into. They would have been blown out last year in a road game like this. Looks like Herm Edwards is making an impactAgreed Cookies. Love to see a kid grind it out.

SC just needs to hire a big time coach. Helton is not the guyNationally nobody believes in browning Washington is good overall but he limits them it’s like playing Peyton Manning on the backend of his career smart player but lack of arm strength and mobility hurts him in college you almost need a qb that can move a little. I don’t think auburn was that good but they just like bama knew they could only rush 4 and rattle him and drop the rest into coverage. Pc12 doesn’t have a play off caliber team Stanford is good but Oregon was better despite losing and playing against those play off teams with athletic defenses with the size to match folsom isn’t a good match up especially Stanford favorite play being the turn around toss to love and see what hole he can find would get eaten up quick. Our best chances is usc,Oregon and Washington in the future. Usc might be the only big time program that doesn’t want to be elite. Tee Martin as a play caller has been horrible I think that’s why Sam darnold left he did him no favors in that Ohio state beating

Goff looked amazing last night. Great arm, great decisions! The Rams look unstoppable right now.Goff is showing off that elite arm tonight! Shredding the Vikings defense in the first half.
He looks awesome. Proud of the kid from El Dorado Hills!Ian Book is on fire. Honestly he is playing better than Browning right now. He's elusive and making all the right plays. I think ND found something. Great game vs Stanford.

ND is a much better team with him at QB.Book has 9 TD's in his 2 starts this year. 6 in the Air and 3 on the ground...
Absolutely. Everybody around thought they couldn't beat Stanford.ND is a much better team with him at QB.
Goff and Rodgers don’t count?!What do nor cal kids gotta do to get the attention of cal and Stanford?
We have so much talent in nor cal
Ok thats 2 out of how many d1 scholarships since Rodgers?Goff and Rodgers don’t count?!
Not sure about that. Notre Dame was favored in that game. Stanford was lucky to beat Oregon, who is likely a 3rd or 4th best team in the Pac12 this year.Absolutely. Everybody around thought they couldn't beat Stanford.

Notre Dame should have won, but also impressed in the process on the back of Ian Book.
I sure can. Per the current ESPN Top 25 rankings. In order are the PAC12 teams.You couldn’t name 2 teams in the pc12 better than Oregon man do you watch them play they easily have the best qb in the league probably in the country. I didn’t think Stanford looked good this whole year they should throw the ball a lot more. Ian book looked really good but it wouldn’t shock me if they lose to a average usc team because that’s how college football works
I sure can. Per the current ESPN Top 25 rankings. In order are the PAC12 teams.
1. Washington (will beat Oregon)
2. Stanford (beat Oregon already AT Oregon)
3. Oregon
4. Colorado (3 spot difference from Oregon. I think they are better IMO).
