Morning links: Jamal Morrow back in the driver’s seat

When Jamal Morrow's touches decreased early in the season, he took it in stride. Now the sophomore running back is reaping rewards for his patience.

That's what I wrote about in this story in today's paper. Also in today's paper we have today's Pac-12 Picks. On the blog we've got the transcript of yesterday's live chat, post-practice video interviews with Roy Manning and Mike Leach, and a note about our new policy for practice coverage. While I went 5-1 against the spread with my picks last week, P.J. Kendall, who is way better at picking games than I am, had a rough stretch. Stefanie Loh explains how the Cougars convince running backs to play in the Air Raid.

When Back to the Future came out, Mike Leach was still in law school. … Arizona's quarterbacks are ready to come at the Cougars together. … Washington's defense wasn't all that affected by its NFL losses. … But the UW downfield passing game needs work. … Everyone is starting to realize how good Stanford's running back is. …. Oregon State might also try a two-quarterback system.
