Puck and Jim look at other games across the PAC-12, from Oregon beating USC 36-27. WSU vs CAL, oh boy there was a lot that went wrong in that game, from officiating to unfortunate turnovers. What was Lincoln Riley thinking in regard to them going for 2 points instead of taking the extra point attempt. Lincoln Riley stated, “It could have gone either way. You’re going to have to go forward and at one point or another, and the good part about going forward early is it defines what you need to do in terms of the onside kick and all of that. We had a call that we liked and just didn’t quite execute.” Ian Furness drops in to preview what he has planned for his show!
