He even underwent radiation treatment while awake, setting a record as one of the youngest patients to do so at the hospital.

The group held Buffalo to 22 and Kansas City to 23. The interior defensive line is a force.

Pac-12 rewind: USC escapes, Colorado survives in riveting Week 6 as a showdown awaits

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:24:46 GMT

Recapping the best and worst of the Pac-12 action …Theme of the week: DramaWith only four games and no matchups involving ranked teams, the seventh Saturday of the Pac-12 season did not have the look of the most dramatic thus far, but it delivered a series of riveting affairs. Only one of the four games was decided by double digits (Oregon State over Cal), and each of the other three was in doubt with two minutes remaining. We figured it would be difficult to top Colorado’s late escape in Tempe — the Buffaloes kicked the game-winning field goal with 12 seconds left — but then USC-Arizona happened. And it was glorious mayhem.Theme of the week II: Plot twistsWho figured UCLA would hold WSU’s high-scoring offense to 10 points. Or that USC would manage just 28 points in regulation (about half its season average) against Arizona. Or that ASU quarterback Trenton Bourguet would throw for 100 yards more than Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. Or that Arizona fre...
