Around the Pac-10

-Bad news for Husky fan, as it looks like Isaiah Stanback is done for the season with a “tarsometatarsal articulation” of his right foot. Stanback was the entire Husky offense, so UW will have to completely retool if they’re going to make it into a bowl game. U-Dub Dish wonders if blue chip freshman Jake Locker should get thrown to the wolves.

-EDSBS shines some light upon Mike Riley being and the hot seat.

-Patrick Cowan evidently got hit in the throat Saturday, which limited his play calling ability, but Bruins Nation cares not what Karl Dorrell’s excuses are. They are over the Dorrell experiement. The results of their poll are telling, but as a Trojan fan, I think he’s doing quite well.

-Adding to the Trojans’ list of disappointments, Rey Maualuga decided to get into it with some guys at a frat party, prompting Pete Carroll to “discipline” him. I bet that works. Also, former USC defensive tackle Ryan Watson, now on Southern Miss, decided to get arrested this week. Makes our program look better and better every day.

-Offensive tackles Adam Koets of OSU and Andrew Carnahan of ASU have both been named as semifinalists for the Draddy Trophy, the equivalent of the academic Heisman. Congratulations boys! Only question I have is why there are 148 semifinalists. Does every team, like say....Miami, get a player on the list?

-Finally, some good news for Arizona. Mark Stoops was named defensive coordinator of the week by the Master Coaches Survey. That’s nice and all, but hasn’t everyone who has played Stanford looked like the defensive coordinator of the week?

-Mkristo Bruce, the Cougs standout defensive end, was nominated as a semifinalist for the Lombardi Award. They only nominated 12 players for this award though, not 148. And since he is leading the nation in sacks, I say he's the frontrunner for the award.
