PAC-10

ond to last week. You think the
Cal players may want some re
venge on Snyder?
Predicted Finish: 7-4, 5-3 in
Pac-10
Arizona State Sun Devils
Last Year:
6-5. 4-4 in Pac
10 (5th).
Bruce Snydor
takes over a
team that struggled to find its
niche offensively last year. Sny
dor orchestrated a powerful
passing attack at Cal and could
be exactly what the Sun Devils
need. However. Snyder first
needs to find the quarterback to
do tho trick. Brot Powors has
tho most experience at tho posi
tion (1,500 yards passing last
season), but ho could be chal
lenged by Kurt Lasher.
ASU’s top two receivers (Eric
Guilford and Bob Brasher), and
top two running backs (George
Montgomery and Mario Bates)
will return to givo the QB more
than ample support. The Dev
ils' defense was solid last year
(second in total defenso) and
will be led by Shanto Carver,
who led the conference in sacks
last year with 11. If this Snyder
thing works out, Arizona State
could surprise some teams.
Pradictad Finish: 7-4, 4-4 in
Pac-10.
(JCLA Bruins
Laat Yaar:
9-3. 6-2 in Pac
10 (2nd). De
feated Illinois
in John Han
cock Bowl.
The most important under
graduate to turn professional in
the Pac-10 last season may not
be Washington's Stevo
Emtman, but instead UCLA
sophomore quartorback Tommy
Maddox. If Maddox had re
turned to UCLA this season, the
Bruins would be considered a
national title contender: instead
they are just another bowl
hopeful.
UCLA's quarterback job is
now up for grabs with sopho
more Wayne Cook and fresh
man Rob Walker the leading
contenders for the starting spot.
Cook impressed the coaches
during the spring and appoars
to have won the starting job..
"Wayne had a very success
ful spring practice," Donahue
said. "While still untested In a
game situation, we received a
strong positive answer this
spring as to whethor Wayne
had the talent to be a winning
quarterback in the Pac-10 "
Whoever emerges as the start
er will have lots of help in the
form of running back Kevin
Williams and wido receiver
Sean LaChapello, last season's
conference leaders in rushing
and receiving, respectively.
Williams ran for 1141 yards
and eight touchdowns last sea
son and will be counted on the
take the prossure off of the
quarterback. LaChapelle set
school records last year with 73
catches for 1056 yards and 11
touchdowns.
On dofense, the Bruins return
sovon starters from a defense
that ranked eighth in the nation
in rushing defense. The second
ary should also bo strong with
tho roturn of cornerback Carl
ton Gray, who finished second
in the nation with 11 intercep
tions.
If tho Bruins can find a quur
torback, they should lie near
tho top of the Pac-10 ut seuson's
end.
Predicted Finish: 7-4, 4-4 in
Pac-10.

O'Neil as this season's No. 1
man. followed by junior Doug
Musgrave.
The Duck dofenso was dealt a
severe blow whon safety Eric
Castle was dlagnosod with
mononucleosis, but Brooks be
lieves his team ran overcome
the setback.
"Eric is an outstanding play
er. but we must go on without
him," Brooks said. "Wo will
move Chad Cola to free safety
and Paul Rodriguez will play
strong safety, so we am In good
shape, but wo would like to
havo Eric.”
With Castle out until the
middle of the season, defensive
end jeff Cummins will be
looked upon for leadership
Cummins has battled Injuries
for the past few years but ap
