Related Topics: Twelvers, Justin Herbert, docket

First: #11 Washington State (5-0) changed the entire landscape of the PAC-12 with their 30-27 pillaging of #14 USC (4-1) in Pullman this past weekend. It turns out Mike Leach really is a pirate. This was WSU’s first win over a top-5 team since 1992, when a young Drew Bledsoe was at the helm, and their first win over the Trojans since ’02.

Second: Though Luke Falk (34 for 51 completions / 340 yards / 2 TDs against USC) does not project to the NFL at the same level as Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, or Jake Browning, he has proven himself as much a winner as any of them over his career at Washington State.
