rise and shout ...

ESPN is ranking the Las Vegas Bowl as #12 on the must-watch list ... go Cougs!!


12. Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl: Oregon vs. BYU, Dec. 21, 2006, ESPN
The second bowl game of the season is a killer. Oregon lost its last three games of the season and can turn things around in a hurry and get some major momentum going into next year, while BYU is one of the hottest teams in the nation winning nine straight. If the Mountain West wants to be taken seriously on a national scale, the Cougars have to not only win, but win impressively against a Pac-10 also-ran.

Stars of the show:
1. John Beck, QB, BYU
2. Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon
3. Jaison Williams, WR, Oregon
(I'm adding my own #4 -- Jonny Harline, TE, BYU -- did you see the Utah game?!?)

The knee jerk, off-the-cuff, initial prediction: BYU 34 ... Oregon 20

PS--Gary Crowton (former head coach of BYU) is now the offensive coordinator of Oregon for an even more exciting twist.

Go Cougs!!
