In this episode of Get Off My Pylon, host Matt Zemek covers the latest in Western college football, beginning with the Mountain West where San Diego State is still alive in the Group of Five race following a convincing road shutout over Fresno State. In the Bay Area, Stanford impressed by giving Miami a tough battle for longer than expected, while Cal's agonizing overtime loss to Virginia Tech suggests a middle-of-the-road existence, though a win over Stanford would guarantee a bowl berth. The Big 12 is highlighted by undefeated BYU, led by freshman QB Bear Bachmeier, who continues to conquer in-game adversity in road wins, making Offensive Coordinator Aaron Rodrick a hot coaching commodity. Utah's upcoming game against a surprising Cincinnati team will be a measuring stick for the Utes after they easily dispatched Colorado. In the Big Ten, Washington hammered Illinois, keeping the Huskies in the conference and playoff conversation. Conversely, UCLA was blown out by Indiana, exposing a lack of depth and physicality against top teams, prompting calls for Athletic Director Martin Jarmond's firing and a broad head coaching search. Finally, USC had the week off and faces a crucial, defining road game against Nebraska, which will serve as a playoff and Big Ten title eliminator for the loser.This episode is sponsored in part by TicketSmarter:Use promo code LWOS10 to receive $10 off purchases of $100 or moreUse promo code LWOS20 to receive $20 off purchases of $300 or moreThink smarter.
