• Jay Drew, Salt Lake Tribune: Did Utah catch a huge break from officials during a two-point conversion try against Oregon State?

• John Ryan, San Jose Mercury News: Stanford right tackle Chris Marinelli on Saturday's game at Notre Dame: "I hate it, playing up there. The field, excuse my language, the field sucks. The stadium sucks. I think the area sucks." He wasn't finished: "We'll be ready, we've seen a lot of tape and it is a good challenge for us. But on the same token it's going to go bad for them at one point and we are going to gash the [expletive] out of them, I promise you that.  
So keep bringing it, keep bringing it. They have one sack all year on 200 blitzes."
