Portal guys, week 7

This post is a bit late.

I've been fighting with my old keyboard, where the G and H keys became non-responsive, and now the left ALT and SPACEBAR keys are sluggish.

I don't want to toss the 35 year old warrior, since it's an IBM "M" class keyboard that was built in 1991, and has lasted me through college, grad school, postdoctoral fellowship, and my job ever since.

Another quiet week, due to byes and injuries.

Of note: Steve Angeli is still sidelined, and received a platelet-rich plasma injection to help his Achilles tendon recover.

Offensive MVP: Kenny Minchey

Defensive MVP: Cree Thomas for playing some solid coverage against Utah. Nice to see him bounce back after that disastrous performance against Northwestern.

Honorable mention: The three headed defensive trio at UCLA (Gobaira, Ford, Sacca).
