Week 5 candidate games
(Written by kencraw)
(OK, I know I’m now two weeks behind. The goal is to watch both finish week 3’s game and watch week 4’s game tomorrow…)
It’s on to week 5… what game should we watch?
This week we’ve got two games that are among the biggest, most consequential games of the last 20 years:
- 2003 USC – Triple overtime thriller of 3rd ranked USC that I’m sure everyone remembers
- 2007 Oregon – This game was remarkable when it happened, although it lost some of its luster after the season took a nasty turn due to Longshore’s injury. Nevertheless, this was a great game.
And then add to that two games that in a normal week would be contenders:
- 2014 Colorado: 59-56 victory at home. The first of two back to back games shootout games of the highest variety
- 2016 Utah: 28-23 victory at home. The one time a Dykes coached team won with defense.
What do people prefer to watch? (If it helps, next week’s game is likely an Oregon game.)

As much as I remember lying on the floor in sheer joy after standing there waiting for the call…
USC 2003 wins every time. Perhaps if 2007 had gone differently…but alas, it didn’t.
