Pac-12 Week 1 Awards

Cal was one of the highlight teams in the Pac-12 this weekend (via Dinur)

One of the things that I've actually liked at CGB during football season is them taking the questions that Andy Staples over at SI gets during the week and reanswering them with a Cal perspective, be they about the Pac-12 or not.  Following the same general idea, I've taken the categories from Rivals.com's Tom Dienhart's Awards and answered them with a Pac-12 spin.

With that said, it's on to the awards!

Well done!

WSU and UNLV are playing so that the Cougs can go 2-0 for the first time in along time.

I have a feeling Utah is gonna end up walking away from the USC game with a win.
And if you guys don’t kick Duke in the ass I will literally cry

Attractive, Intelligent, Smart A**
