Stanford

Jon Wilner ponders whether or not Bryce Love could have a Christian McCaffrey-esque Heisman campaign.

Maybe…

Arizona

Bruce Pascoe writes about what Book Richardson’s federal indictment could mean for Arizona men’s basketball. Richardson was one of four college basketball assistants arrested on fraud and bribery charges as part of an FBI investigation.

Oregon

With 42 flags in four games, the 2017 Oregon football team is one of the most penalized Pac-12 teams this century (The Oregonian/OregonLive).

Arizona State

A total of 68 Arizona State student-athletes are members of Barrett, The Honors College at ASU, which is a school record (TheSunDevils.com). A round of applause for these #ScholarBallers.

Oregon State

Danny Moran notes that Oregon State wants to get tight end Noah Togiai more involved in the passing game. Togiai had 12 catches for 162 yards and a touchdown over the first two weeks of the season but has just two catches for 18 yards and a fumble since (last two games).
