Upon Further Review Hates Wednesday

USC looked very good. UCLA looked incredibly bad. Beyond that, the Pac-10 remains a work in progress.

Quarterback play, usually the key factor in determining the conference race, has been shaky so far.

USC's John David Booty hasn't been asked to do much, while Cal seems to be winning in spite of Nate Longshore. Ben Olson was horrendous for UCLA and now will be benched for what has been nebulously labeled 'headaches.'

Based on the first three weeks of 2007, previously erratic Dennis Dixon has been the top performer. However, can he maintain his turnover-free play against tougher defenses?

In short - much like the NFL - the way things look this week might not be how they are the next.
