Just wait... the links you remember come in November.

• November is when Arizona typically surges.
• Is poor recruiting from former Arizona State coach Dirk Koetter hurting the Sun Devils this season? Perhaps a true freshman will perk up the woeful running game. Very quietly defensive end Dexter Davis is having a good year.
• Though still a bit coy, California coach Jeff Tedford acknowledged that Kevin Riley will start at quarterback against Oregon.
• Oregon hasn't faced a defense like California's 3-4 this season. Did running back Jeremiah Johnson hurt his shoulder?
• Tavita Thompson will give a boost to Oregon State's offensive line against Arizona State.
• Stanford isn't used to being the overwhelming favorite, but Washington State does that to teams.
• The latest injury concern for UCLA? Linebacker and leading tackler Reggie Carter, and the notebook reports that the quarterback situation apparently hasn't changed with Kevin Craft still a clear No. 1.
• What's going on in USC quarterback Mark Sanchez's head? Here's a Q&A with some answers. Another chapter in the strange season of receiver Vidal Hazelton. Running back C.J. Gable is frustrated with his role.
• Washington's assistant coaches are in limbo. Here's a theory why Tyrone Willingham isn't a good recruiter.
• More on Washington State coach Paul Wulff's decision to play freshman quarterback J.T. Levenseller instead of redshirt him.
