Pac-12 Week 5 Recap: Colorado fires Karl Dorrell; DTR and UCLA go nuclear on Washington

NOTE: Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear Greg and Carlos’s thoughts on Karl Dorrell getting fired at Colorado. The Buffs ruined No Truck Stops by firing Dorrell after we stopped recording.

On this week’s episode of No Truck Stops, Carlos, Matt, and Greg get together to talk about week 5 of the Pac-12 football season. The crew gushed over Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s electric performance against Washington in the Rose Bowl, as UCLA beat the Huskies. Meanwhile, the gang talked about the divergent paths that Oregon State and Utah are taking after Utah beat the Beavers handily in Salt Lake City. The gang then discusses the rest of the Pac-12 slate and how it compared to past week’s (not well!).

Plus, the gang is joined by Oregon podcaster and writer Reid Tingley (@mf_reid) led a Performance Review of the Pac-12 so far, with divergent ideas about who the Pac-12’s best teams are to this point and who the five best quarterbacks in the Pac-12 might be.

The gang then made predictions for an enticing week 6 slate of Pac-12 games. Thought the episode ended there? Nope! Stay tuned after the outtro music to hear Greg and Carlos talk about Karl Dorrell getting fired at Colorado, whether Colorado is a good job, and more!
