This week's predictions:
UCLA 24, Utah 17: We don't know if Utah is headed for a quarterback change to get to the future faster, but after the Bruins lost to Cal, the Utes could be in for a fired-up crew in Westwood.
Utah State 28, San Jose State 24: Watch for Gary Andersen to make a run at the WAC title and it all starts with this contest.
Nevada 38, UNLV 19: In this battle of the brothers, Reno easily has the upper hand over Little Brother.
California 34, Washington State 21: The Bears have shown they have a Jekyll-Hyde face to their program, but they will deliver Mike Leach a setback this week.
USC 37, Washington 24: The Trojans will have little trouble with the Huskie defense.
Notre Dame 24, Stanford 14: Defense rules for the Fighting Irish.
BYU 14, Oregon State 7: OSU is without its staring QB and BYU will roll out the recovered version of Riley Nelson. The difference will be the Cougar defense, which hasn't allowed a touchdown in 13 quarters.
Last week 6-2; Overall 29-14 (.674)

All Riles has to do is pound the beavers and we'll More..
So, the fans realize that Doman isn't cutting it, from this article (and several other local writers) it is clear that the sports beat writers realize that Doman and his offense isn't cutting it. Is the last person to realize that Doman More..
