CCR baby

Las Vegas - Most of you know about a 'Bad Moon Rising' from the great band, Creedence Clearwater Revival. Most of you probably don't know about Utah QB Cameron Rising. Cam ain't in the Heisman Trophy chatter, but he is putting up some sweet numbers for the Utes. He has hit on 172 of 274 passes (62.8%) for 2,109 yards, with 17 TDs and only 3 INTs. Most of you have heard of Thurman Thomas, but how many of you know Tavion Thomas? Double T has been a monster for Utah this season, and his numbers keep getting stronger. Tavion started the season with 107 yards against Weber State, got nicked, and didn't see any serious action until the USC game on October 9. From that point, Thomas gobbled up 844 yards in seven games for an average of 120.5 yards per game. In the BLOWOUT against Oregon back on November 20, he rumbled for 94 yards, but the team ripped open holes for 208 total yards. The fact is, the Ducks CAN NOT stop the run. They were RUN OVER by Oregon State last week on the ground, giving up 269 yards to the Beavers. What about the revenge angle Eck? Yea, totally get that Utah SMOTHERED Oregon a few weeks ago, breezing to a 38-7 win, but don't think the Ducks have enough quack to reverse the result. The final score might be a little tighter, but the Utes are gonna cash my ticket on the neutral Allegiant Stadium field here in Vegas.
