    That is the question is the PAC 12 except for Oregon and USCw a weak conference or are the Tigers scary good? I have a feeling it is the latter. As good as last year's team was limits at QB we depended on tunovers and special teams to spark offense. This year our D is as strong but we can never count on the great turnover advantage year to year. I think our special teams are as good or better than last but the big difference is the O. What a difference a QB makes. Last year for the most part teams stacked the box and while we could overcome that against most teams Ga & Ala excepted with our running game. Nov 3 took poor decisions by Nicky, great play by our D and JJ's surprise appearance to win. We broke Ga's will with TM7 special play.
    This year we have a QB and ability to win through the air. This changes the whole equation to our benefit. We can pass any time and in any situation. This not only strengthens us but multiplys a defense's challenge.
    I believe if these trends continue we will be more than special but and we will see this team as scary good.

    RGIII is the real deal. Can you imagine LSU with him instead of Jefferson the last four years???? ;)

    Washington isn't a bad team, they are just a very average team.

    all I know is that Keith Price outplayed RG3 last year in their bowl game. Other than that I don't know anything about this Washington team except they probably left some husky blood behind in BR.

    I have to agree with Sean Parker. We were likely 45 or 50 points better than UW. We gave them 3 and left some on the board.

    I think that Washington is a bad team. They struggled mightily last week against a nobody and showed nothing against us. I think UNT would beat them.

    I think they are probably a good team. They just ran into an excellent team. I bet they play USC close.
