The Trojans’ offense was far below the standard it set in the first three games of the season, but winning that game was still a massive outcome for Lincoln Riley’s team in his first year at the helm.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I react to the first full slate of conference games in the Pac-12.
Winners, losers, and everything in between saw Week 4 deliver some dramatic endings and some blowouts, leaving some fanbases with optimism and others with a real concern about how 2022 might play out on the football field.
Oregon State may have come up short of another upset of Top 10 ranked USC, but the outlook for 2022 remains positive for the Beavers.
Though low stakes in the broad scheme of things, Cal’s win against Arizona could help the Golden Bears build momentum towards bowl eligibility this season.
Similar to Oregon State, the Cougars of Washington State should feel optimistic for one reason in particular despite coming up just short after giving Oregon a very real scare up in Pullman.
