Arizona QB Nick Foles looked extremely impressive, going 32-for-37 for 360 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Backup Matt Scott also threw a touchdown as the Wildcats put up the second best passing performance in the FBS for the opening week.

Toledo clearly didn’t put up much resistance, but Arizona’s game against Iowa in two weeks should be a much clearer indication as to whether or not the Wildcats are for real.

In a game that was over well before half time, Oregon destroyed New Mexico 72-0. The Ducks didn’t take long to show that their offense will be potent even without Jeremiah Masoli, as they scored 59 points before the intermission, on their way to 720 yards on offense.

All of this was accomplished without first string running back LaMichael James, who missed the opener through suspension. Backup Kenjon Barner filled in admirably, scoring five times and gaining 147 on the ground for the Ducks.

Oregon, who represented the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl last season, appears to be even better than last year and could well prove to again be the class of the conference.

Washington also looked strong in their difficult opener on the road against BYU, ultimately falling to the Cougars 23-17. Jake Locker and the Washington offense had chances late in the game, but they failed twice to convert on fourth down, both on Locker incompletions. Locker’s attempt on fourth-and-six with just under two minutes play was knocked down by a BYU lineman, effectively ending Washington’s chances.

While this Huskies team looks capable, they play a tough schedule with the BYU game and a matchup against Nebraska. Coupled with a fairly strong conference, Washington may struggle to be much better than 6-6 this season.

UCLA played an entertaining game at Kansas State, falling 31-22 after the teams combined for three scores in the last 2:03 of the 4th quarter. UCLA had gone down 24-16 with just over two minutes to play, but a fantastic pair of passes from quarterback Kevin Prince got them right back in the game.

The Bruins failed on the two point attempt that would have tied the game, and the onside kick attempt that followed was recovered by the Wildcats. On the ensuing possession, and while keeping the ball on the ground in an attempt to run out the clock, Wildcat running back Daniel Thomas found a seam on the right side and rumbled into the end zone, effectively ending the game in favor of Kansas State.

Oregon State played fairly well against the sixth-ranked TCU Horned Frogs, with the defense forcing two interceptions and providing good field position to the Beaver offense. Still, Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz looked ragged at times, completing only nine of 25 passes. The Beavers did turn both TCU interceptions into touchdowns, but their offense struggled to sustain drives, with only 13 first downs during the game.

After narrowly missing the Rose Bowl last season, Oregon State is going to need much more solid quarterback play and a reliable running game to be competitive this season. Still, I don’t want to be overly harsh on a team that played an opener against extremely solid opposition, so we’ll have to give the Beavers a few more games to show what they’re truly capable of.

Elsewhere, California rolled over hapless UC Davis by a final of 52-3, and Stanford cruised past Sacramento State by a score of 52-17. Washington State traveled to Oklahoma State, beginning this season right where the left off last year, losing 65-17 the Cowboys.

This week, Late Night with the Pac-10 went 3-4 against the spread, and learned a valuable lesson in overestimating the resolve and talent of Toledo and New Mexico.
