66 2012 COLLEGE BOWL GUIDE2012 COLLEGE BOWL GUIDE

If not for a 17-14 loss at the hands of the Stanford Cardinal, the Oregon Ducks would probably be playing for the BCS National Championship game.

Led by one of the best offenses college football has ever seen, the Oregon Ducks know how to put on a show.

Head coach Chip Kelly is an offensive mastermind, and his team is recognized as the fastest in the country.

Freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota has lived up to the hype and is a force to be reckoned with during the coming year.

With a quarterback rating of 165.4, Mariota threw 2,511 yards and 30 touchdowns on just 312 attempts.

However, as great as Mariota played this season, any conversation

about the Ducks has to begin with the play of running back Kenjon Barner.

Barner is a human highlight reel out of the backfield. The back gets his yards using unbelievable speed and amazing vision.

The senior’s 1,624 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns ranks among the best in the nation.

Arguably the most impressive aspect of the Oregon season was the team’s ability to overcome defensive injuries.

At one point in the season, Oregon had all four defensive linemen out along with star safety John Boyett.

The 2012 season was one of dominance for the Ducks. The team’s average margin of victory was by a staggering 31.73 points per game and their loss to Stanford was the only game this season in which they were held to less than 42 points.

Unfortunately, it was the game that cost them the Pac-12 title and shot at a national championship.

However, the Fiesta Bowl is not a bad consolation prize.

The school’s fourth consecutive BCS Bowl will allow them to prove they still deserve to be national championship contenders as they take on Big-12 champion Kansas State.

Stanford drew up the blueprint on how to stop the Ducks’ potent rushing attack. Now, it is time to see if Bill Snyder and the KSU Wildcats took notes.

For the Kansas State Wildcats, it is hard not to think about what could have been.

Despite being ranked in the top 25 in nearly every preseason poll, the Wildcats exceeded expectations when they competed for a spot in the national championship this season.

They started the season 3-0 and were set to take on No. 6 Oklahoma to prove they were for real.

K-State did just that. They defeated the Sooners 24-19

and would go on to win the next six games.

After going undefeated for 10 games, KSU’s hopes and dreams of a perfect season were crushed in a 52-24 blowout upset by the Baylor Bears.

Before the heartbreaking loss, the Wildcats were ranked No. 1 in the nation and on the way to playing then-undefeated Oregon in the BCS National Championship.

Well, they are meeting Oregon but it is not in the BCS National Championship game.

Instead, KSU is traveling to their first BCS game in since 2003.

Led by legendary coach Bill Snyder in his 21st year with the program, Kansas State earned a Big-12 title and an 11-1 record this season.

The upperclassmen-loaded team played very well in big games, sporting a 5-0 record against ranked opponents.

On the defensive side of the football, it is hard not to recognize linebacker Arthur Brown as a key reason for the Wildcats’ successful season.

Brown was named to the second

team of the AP All-American squad and was also honored as the Big-12 defensive player of the year.

The senior linebacker racked up 91 tackles and intercepted two balls this season.

However, no K-State player deserves more credit than quarterback Collin Klein.

A senior from Loveland, Colorado, Klein gained plenty of national attention.

After gaining 3,380 total yards and scoring 37 touchdowns, Klein was named the Big-12 offensive player of the year, won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and was a Heisman trophy semifinalist.

Expect Snyder to have Klein and his Wildcats ready to rumble when they take on the Ducks of Oregon in University of Phoenix Stadium.

After going 11-3 last year, hopes were high at the beginning of the season for the Michigan State Spartans.

Ranked in the top 15 in nearly every preseason poll, the Spartans kicked off the season with a 17-13 victory against the Boise State Broncos.

They followed it up with a 41-7 victory at Central Michigan and entered week three ranked No. 10 in the AP Poll in preparation of a showdown against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Despite starting the year off with a quality victory over a good team, the Spartans were exposed from game one.

Dominant performances by junior running back Le’Veon Bell and the Spartan defense were not enough to mask the team’s inability to find offensive consistency.

Those things came to light during the team’s 20-3 loss at Notre Dame and would remain Michigan State’s identity for the entire season.

Bell was a workhorse for the Spartans. His 350 carries were the most of any other running back in the nation and his 1,648 yards on the ground was good enough for sixth.

Michigan State’s defense, led by Darqueze Dennard, was very impressive. It ranked fourth in the nation in yards per game, allowing just 273.25 per contest.

As good as the Spartan defense was, the offense was equally as bad.

In his first season as the starting quarterback, junior Andrew Maxwell struggled.

Maxwell and the Spartans nationally ranked 107th in points per game with the meager average of 20.35 points.

Put all those things together and you have a disappointing 6-6 season for Michigan State, bearing in mind they once considered themselves BCS contenders.

This season is tied for the worst season since head coach Mark Dantonio took over in 2007.

The news that might be worst of all for the Michigan State faithful is that Bell is expected to declare for the NFL draft following the conclusion of the season.

This Buffalo Wild Wings matchup against the TCU Horned Frogs could be Spartans fans last chance to see the Doak Walker Award semifinalist in a Michigan State uniform.

In their first season as a member of the Big-12 Conference, the Texas Christian Horned Frogs proved they can compete in a BCS Conference.

With a 7-5 season finish, TCU’s first season in the Big-12 didn’t look like those of recent years. Head coach Gary Anderson’s streak of three straight winning seasons was snapped and the Frogs were in an unfamiliar position amid average conference teams.

Though the Horned Frogs weren’t competing for the Big-12 championship, they showed they belong at times.

On October 20, the Horned Frogs lost to No. 17 Texas Tech in triple overtime 56-53, which proved they could score with the best of them.

Then, on November 3, they played a similar game against No. 21 West Virginia but would eventually come out with a 39-38 double overtime victory.

It was one of two wins against ranked teams this season for TCU.

The season may have gone differently for the Horned Frogs if they had junior quarterback Casey Pachall all season long.

Pachall led the team to victory in the first four games of the season but left the school to enter rehab after his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.

He was replaced by dual-threat freshman Trevone Boykin.

Despite going just 3-5 as a starter, Boykin put up pretty impressive numbers.

In just eight games, he threw for 1,853 yards, rushed for 380 and had 18 total touchdowns.

Considering all the team went through, it is tough not to be pleased with what they accomplished this year. Another point of optimism is the amount of contributions from freshmen.

Defensive end Devonte Fields won the AP Big-12 defensive player of the year and defensive newcomer of the year honors after he recorded nine sacks.

The Frogs’ leading rusher, B.J. Catalon, is also a freshman.

With such youthful talent, it is hard not to be confident in the Horned Frogs moving forward.

TCU’s matchup against Michigan State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl could provide a look at great things to come.

GOLFGOLF

Arizona is world-renowned

for its golf options. Pictured

here, TPC of Scottsdale.

CAVE CREEK

DOVE VALLEY RANCH GOLF CLUB33750 N. Dove Lakes Drive,Cave Creek, 480.488.0009Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club is a desert-style golf course with hints of tradition, such as ample fairways and subtly contoured greens. The lay-out is very playable but also strategic enough to test the course-management skills of every player. The front nine opens as an easy warm-up. The remainder of the course meanders through rejuve-nated open desert.

CHANDLER

WHIRLWIND GOLF CLUB5692 N. Loop Road, Chandler, 480.940.1500Located right at the Wild Horse Pass Casino, this course will allow you to golf amid some breath-taking views as your non-golf friends and family enjoy themselves in the casino. The course is called Devil’s Claw, though it is anything but a nightmare. The course is on 242 acres of desert with indigenous grasses, plants and various trees. But it’s the fact that there is no real estate around the course that really impresses

golfers. Not only is this a beautiful area, but, when you’re playing it, you feel as if it’s all for you.

GILBERT

KOKOPELLI GOLF COURSE1800 W. Guadalupe Road, Gilbert, 480.926.3589This sprawling 18-hole course offers a bit of every-thing. From the putting green to the pro shop, you’ll be impressed with the staff’s top-notch amenities, includ-ing on-site professional instruction, snack bar and daily on-course beverage service. All cart rentals are included in the green fees.

TRILOGY GOLF CLUB AT POWER RANCH4415 E. Village Parkway, Gilbert, 480.988.0004Nestled between the San Tan Mountains and the notable Arizona landmark Superstition Mountains, Trilogy offers luxurious sur-roundings as well as chal-lenging golf. A little bit natu-ral forces, a little man-made design, the course can be tricky, but that’s half the fun. Call for prices.

GLENDALE

LEGEND AT ARROWHEAD21027 N. 67th Avenue, Glendale, 623.561.2464Touted as one of the friend-liest courses around, the Legend is a traditional tropical golf haven with wide fairways and ample greens. Open to the public, this course is one of only two in Arizona designed by Arnold Palmer and, despite the numerous water hazards, offers enjoyable play for all skill levels.

GOODYEAR

TRES RIOS AT ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN PARK15205 S. Vineyard Avenue, Goodyear, 623.932.3714Originally designed by golf course architect Red Lawrence, this traditional par 71-championship course has been around since 1962, yet it’s the newest course in the Valley after a complete renovation.

PALM VALLEY2211 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, 623.935.2500Since Palm Valley is home to two separate courses – one that caters toward experi-enced golfers and another easier course for new play-

ers – everyone can take part in the game. Call for tee time and green fee details.

MESA

SUPERSTITION SPRINGS6542 E. Baseline Road, Mesa,480.985.5622This is one of the most chal-lenging courses in the area with a 7,000 yard layout from the back tee and 130 slope rating. In the mid-‘90s, it was rated three times as one of “America’s Best Golf Courses” in Golfweek. Rates vary. Call for details.

PARADISE VALLEY

STONE CREEK GOLF CLUB4435 E. Paradise Village Parkway South, Paradise Valley, 602.953.9110This course is home to the LPGA Mitsubishi Pro Am and is a favorite among locals. It gets its name from the water hazard off hole 15, be forewarned. Also, be sure to schedule tee time seven days in advance. Call for greens fees and additional details.

PEORIA

TRILOGY AT VISTANCIA12575 W. Golf Club Drive, Peoria, 623.328.5100Rated an ultra-prestigious five out of five by Golf Digest, this club has it all at an extremely reasonable rate. There are five tee boxes to choose from on the par-72 course. Because the total tee ranges vary from 5,573 yards to 7,259 yards, players of all skill levels can enjoy a round. Call for rates and additional details.

PHOENIX

CLUB WEST GOLF CLUB16400 S. 14th Avenue, Phoenix,480.460.4400This is the one course that has the ability to almost make you forget about playing golf and just take in the surroundings. The Sonoran Desert surrounds the entire course, making it a wonderful isolated area that is literally around the corner from the city. The holes have elevation changes, though nothing too drastic. Hole 17 has two greens for your choosing and offers the best view to take a picture with South Mountain in the back-ground.

FOOTHILLS GOLF CLUB2201 E. Clubhouse Drive, Phoenix, 480.460.4653With South Mountain as a

backdrop, this golf destina-tion epitomizes desert golf. The nearly 7,000 yards of green fairways stand out as an oasis in the beautiful sur-rounding rugged desert land-scape. Greens fees are afford-able and include cart rental.

SCOTTSDALE

TROON NORTH GOLF CLUB10320 E. Dynamite Boulevard, Scottsdale, 480.585.5300This is one of the many courses people make a point to stop at when they visit Arizona. With the Sonoran Desert as a backdrop, golf-ers not only have to deal with natural elements, such as washes and cactus, but they have to attempt to play while not being distracted by the beautiful scenery. There are two courses, the Monument Course and the Pinnacle Course. Both are a little over 7,000 yards, have a par of 72 and lace through the desert.

CONTINENTAL GOLF COURSE7920 E. Osborn Road, Scottsdale, 480.941.1047Located along the Scottsdale Greenbelt, this year-round golf course is located right in the thick of Arizona’s “Most Livable City.” Green fees are subject to change and range from under $20 to $125 or

more. Be sure to dress appropriately, however, as the dress code is enforced.

MCDOWELL MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB10690 E. Sheena Drive, Scottsdale, 480.502.8200Built on the Western edge of Scottsdale’s beautiful McDowell Mountains, this 7,072-yard course recently underwent a major enhance-ment and renovation. Changes were overseen by original architect Randy Heckenkemper. Call for rates and additional details.

TOURNAMENT PLAYERS CLUB17020 N. Hayden Road, Scottsdale, 480.585.4334The club has two courses to choose from, one of which was designed specifically for the Waste Management Phoenix Open, the largest spectator event on the PGA Tour. The Stadium Course is where the pros play and is littered with saguaro cacti and mesquite trees, not to mention one of the largest palo verde trees in the state (42 feet). The Desert Course is spacious with 28 acres of fairways and 7,089 yards. It is a short par 71, but play-ers shouldn’t mistake that for an easy course. Both courses offer challenges in water hazards and bun-kers, not to mention being near the desert, which only increases the difficulty. The 16th hole is a famous one, since it’s the one Tiger Woods aced in the 1997 Phoenix Open.

TEMPE

KARSTEN GOLF COURSE at Arizona State University1125 E. Rio Salado Parkway, Tempe, 480.921.8070Golf historians will be

happy to know that this is was the local home course for Phil Mickelson during his college years, not to men-tion the site of the 1992 and 1993 Women’s NCAA cham-pionships. Enjoy the rolling hills, hidden greens and numerous trees in a course that is both beautiful and has served as the beginning stages for future champions in the sport.

VERRADO/BUCKEYE

RAVEN AT VERRADO4242 N. Golf Drive, Buckeye,623.388.3000The Raven Golf Club at Verrado is consistently ranked among the best golf courses in Arizona. It has been named the top public golf course in the Phoenix metropolitan area by Sports Illustrated and earned the title as one of the Top 10 new golf courses in the country by Golfweek Magazine. Set at the foothills of the White Tank Mountains, the golf course expertly blends the desert’s rugged beauty with lush fairways and greens. The 18-hole course is also designed to cater to a variety of skill levels and features tees that give the course a total yardage of anywhere from 5,142 yards to 7,258 yards.

Stone Creek Golf Club in Paradise Valley is home to the LPGA Mitsubishi Pro Am and is a favorite among locals.
