The Headlines: College Football Preview

I know I'm really late with this. The college football season begins in hours (if it hasn't started yet).

So here's my quasi college football preview. Now let me explain this. One of the best (or worst) things I've ever had to do while working at the Daily Cal was come up with headlines for stories. Most were very cliche. Some were good. A lot were bad.

And some of the good ones that I thought of, well, they weren't PG enough to run in the paper.

So, I come at you uncensored. Every week, I'll give you "headlines" for all the Pac-10 schools and some of the bigger news in college football.

But today, I give you headlines for a promising season for all Pac-10 schools and then give you my predicted headline for those post-season write-ups of what actually happened. Enjoy.

Season Previewed:
  • Arizona: Can Stoop's Squad Finally Make it to the Promise Land?
  • Arizona State: Be-Deviling the Rose Bowl Hopes
  • California: Longshore Out, Riley In, Forget About Last Season
  • Oregon: Costa Out, Panic Ensues
