Respect at stake for Bruins
■ When UCLA takes on ASU in
the Rose Bowl this weekend,
respect and a Pac-10 title will
be in balance for both teams
By Peter Hockaday

The UCLA Bruins are wounded,
and they’re licking those wounds
with all the ferocity they can
muster.
Humiliated by the Oregon Ducks
in front of a national television au
dience, held to minus-9 rushing
yards and blown out of the Top-10,
UCLA is on damage control one
week later.
Not a good time to meet a 3-0 Ari
zona State team.
“You can go from No. 6 in the na
tion to last in the Pac-10 real fast and
that’s exactly what happened,” Bru
ins head coach Bob Toledo said.
“ [Arizona State’s] playing very well,
they're getting better and they have
their passing game going now. ”
But the Bruins have one weapon
that they didn’t have against Ore
gon: Corey Paus. Paus, UCLA’s start
ing quarterback before he was in
jured against Alabama, will be
healthy for Saturday’s game, and
will start, according to Toledo.
The game will also mark the re
turn of Arizona State’s top thrower,
Ryan Kealy. The senior signal-caller
is ranked in the top five all-time at
Arizona State in passing yards,
passes completed and passing
touchdowns.
He returned from a two-game sus
pension against Utah State last
week and went 4-of-9 passing for 89
yards, including a 43-yard touch
down strike to Todd Heap. Kealy is
still listed as second on the Sun
Devils’ depth chart behind redshirt
freshman Jeff Krohn.
Saturday’s game is all about re
spect. The Bruins are looking to
avoid the tailspins of 1999 and
1996, while the Sun Devils are look
ing to restore respect in a fading
football program. Neither team is
going to be happy with a loss.
“I'm looking forward to playing
UCLA - a talented, strong team,”
Arizona State head coach Bruce
Snyder said. “We need to play a
game like this now to really see
where we are.”
The Sun Devils haven't been tru
ly tested, with unimpressive wins
over San Diego State and Colorado
( ( You can go from No. 6
in the nation to last in the
Pac-10 real fast and that’s
exactly what happened.

State, and one blowout victory
against Utah State. UCLA, mean
while, already has three tough
games under its belt.
Also, the Bruins play in the Rose
Bowl after playing in a hostile Eu
gene environment last week. UCLA
has now lost six straight road games,
dating back to 1998.
The game will be a turning point
for both programs. If UCLA can win,
it will stay in the hunt for a Pacific
10 Conference title. If Arizona State
wins, it will join a slate of evenly
matched Pac-10 teams, all in search
of one prize: the Rose Bowl.
