Pac-12 Players Needing Big Years for the NFL Draft

PAC-12 Football Week 1 Preview, Upsets/Underdogs Champ Flemings, QB Battles
On Episode 6 of the Pac-12 Apostles Podcast with George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden, the guys take you through a preview of the eleven games over three days that will set the tone for the entire conference. George and Ralph pick winners, and discuss which games are most important to the image of the Pac-12 as a whole.
But before they do all that, they first discuss the trend of high profile transfer quarterbacks being beaten out for starting jobs by the quarterbacks who have been in the system for multiple seasons, as we’ve seen at Cal, Washington State and Oregon State.
Finally, George and Ralph “cast stones” at the Pac-12’s continued trend of shooting themselves in the proverbial foot by scheduling weekday games.

Is Chris Petersen Forcing the Jacob Eason Storyline?
One thing was fairly certain heading into the Washington Huskies’ 2019 football season: a quarterback named Jake would lead them. The only question being, which one? Would it be Georgia transfer and Lake Stevens, Washington born Jacob Eason, 2018 backup quarterback Jake Haener or redshirt freshman Jacob Sirmon? It’s a question many fans and pundits […]

Preseason AP Poll, USC Disrespect, Offensive Breakout Players, Most Important Players in 2019, Coaching Hot Seats
The preseason AP Poll came out and it featured five Pac-12 teams but there was still massive disrespect for the conference in the mainstream sports media. USC only got 1 vote while Appalachian State, and Army got more votes. Fans don’t realize how big of an affect the preseason polls have on the College Football Playoff rankings. There were countless cases in 2018. Eleven of the top 25 teams in the 2018-19 Preseason AP Poll didn’t even finish ranked. In 2017, nine didn’t finish ranked. In 2016, 13 didn’t finish ranked. Commonly, those early season matchups that were so hyped up turned out to be nothing burgers, but they did affect the CFB Playoff committee rankings.
Jeremy McCarthy wrote an article on Unafraid Show about the 12 breakout Pac-12 Players and the Apostles discuss where he got it right and where he went wrong.
THE 12: There are many players that are crucial to their team and entire Pac-12’s success. We rank them from 1-12. There are defensive lineman, offensive lineman, running backs, a wide receiver, quarterbacks on the list.
CASTING STONES: When will media members stop asking about what coaches are on the hot seat and how many wins it will take for a coach to keep his job. USC’s Athletic Director Lynn Swann was asked that about Clay Helton recently and of course he gave a nothing answer.
