UCLA-USC highlights rivalry week
By Tim Pyle
Oregon Daily Emerald
Washington (5-5,3-4) at
Washington State (3-7,0-7)
This season’s edition of the Ap
ple Cup is more like applesauce.
Both the Huskies and Cougars
have been smashed this season
like no time in their recent histo
ries. While Washington is trying
to avoid its first losing season
since 1976, Washington State is
attempting to dodge its first win
less conference season since 1975.
The Cougars also need a win
and a loss by Stanford or Oregon
State to keep from becoming the
first Pacific-10 Conference team
to go from first to worst since
UCLA accomplished the blunder
the season after its 1943 Rose
Bowl appearance.
A quick glance at defensive sta
tistics would seem to foreshadow
a high-scor
ing affair, as
the Wash
ington State
defense is
ninth in the
conference
in points al
lowed and
the Huskies
are eight.
Hut the ottenses have not fared
much better. The Cougars are also
ninth in the Pac-10 in scoring of
fense, while Washington is sixth.
With Brock Huard directing the
offense, the Huskies do appear to
have an advantage at quarterback.
However, Huard has not enjoyed
the kind of success that many
people predicted when he decid
ed not to enter the NFL draft last
spring. He has thrown 14 touch
down passes against 12 intercep
tions, while accumulating a pass
ing efficiency rating of nearly 112.
Washington State has rotated
quarterbacks Steve Bimbaum and
Paul Mencke throughout the con
ference season. In a 38-28 loss at
Stanford last week, the tandem
combined for 372 yards and three
touchdowns, but they also threw
five interceptions.

Chad Morton and the Southern California rushing attack will face a stiff challenge this
week at the Rose Bowl, where the Trojans face Pacific-10 Conference champion UCLA.
In its loss to UCLA last Satur
day, Washington finally found its
long-lost running game. Both
Willie Hurst and Braxton Cleman
rushed for 100 or more yards as
the Huskies rolled up 248 yards
on the ground.
Stanford (2-8,1-6) at
California (5-5,3-4)
If the Golden Bears can find a
big win in the Big Game, they
could wind up in a little bowl.
However, the Cardinal would
relish denying Cal a postseason
appearance in the 101st edition of
the West Coast’s oldest rivalry,
which dates back to 1892.
Last season, Stanford held off
the Bears 21-20 to win its third
straight Big Game, despite the fact
that Cal posted 380 yards in total
offense to the Cardinal's 240.
Wide receivers Dameane Dou
glas of Cal and Troy Walters of
Stanford will be the players to
watch in this one.
Douglas has 87 receptions for
1,026 yards, but he needs 15 more
catches to tie former Trojan
Keyshawn Johnson’s single-sea
son record of 102 in 1995. Dou
glas better hope the Bears ad
vance to a bowl game.
Walters has returned to form in
recent weeks after being ham
pered by injuries early in the sea
son. He caught seven passes for
143 yards and one touchdown
against the Cougars last Saturday.
Game of the Week
By Tim Pyle
Oregon Daily Emerald
Southern California (7-3,5-2) at
No. 3 UCLA (9-0,7-0)
The Bruins are bona fide
streakers.
In addition to owning the na
tion’s longest winning streak at
19, UCLA has owned its arch ri
val in the 1990s. The Bruins have
defeated the Trojans in seven
straight battles for Los Angeles,
which is the longest such streak
for either team in the history of
this series, which dates to 1929.
But USC fans take heart. Your
Trojans still hold a 34-26-7 edge
in the series, and eight of the last
nine showdowns have been de
cided by seven or fewer points.
Plus, your team would love
nothing more — nor would you
— then to knock UCLA out of
the national title picture.
After consecutive lackluster
performances, the Bruins re
hounded to impressively down
Washington 36-24 in Seattle last
week. The game was not as close
as the final score indicated as
wide receiver Danny Farmer
hauled in four passes for 134
yards from quarterback Cade Mc
Nown to spark the UCLA offense.
Meanwhile, USC has had two
weeks off to prepare for its
biggest game of the season. The
Trojans have already clinched a
bowl berth with their seven
wins, but they need a victory ei
ther this week or next week
against Notre Dame to earn an
upper-tier bowl bid.
The matchup between the ex
plosive Bruin offense, which
ranks first in the Pac-10 in scor
ing, and the stingy USC defense,
which is second in the confer
ence in points allowed, should
prove intriguing.
Individually, the war be
tween Trojan linebacker Chris
Claiborne and McNown could
pit this season’s Butkus Award,
which goes to the country's top
linebacker, and Heisman Tro
phy winners.
However, the game could well
be decided when USC has the
ball. If the UCLA defense, ranked
next to last in the Pac-10, can
contain all-purpose weapons R.
Jay Soward and Chad Morton,
the Bruins should roll.
But Soward and Morton, who
combine to average more than
243 yards per game in total of
fense, will not go down without
a fight.
