UCLA looks to end
slide against OSU
■The game is crucial for both
UCLA and Oregon State in a
battle of ranked Pacific-10
Conference teams
By Robbie McCallum
Oregon Daily Emerald
There are only two battles this
week in college football that in
volve two top-25 ranked teams. The
game here in Eugene is one of them
and the UCLA-Oregon State
matchup is the
other.
The No. 19
ranked Beavers
head south this
weekend to face
off with the No.
23 Bruins. The
teams are heading in opposite di
rections, as UCLA hasn’t been the
same since falling to Oregon Sept.
23.
The Bruins barely edged Arizona
State and lost in overtime to Cali
fornia last weekend after a 3-0 start.
Oregon State, however, is 5-1 for
the first time since 1964 and has
been looking impressive in Pacific
10 Conference play.
With a win, Oregon State could
move into a tie for second place in
the conference standings. But a vic
tory would mean so much more for
head coach Dennis Erickson and
the Beaver program. Should Ore
gon State win, it would get more
national recognition as well as the
sixth win of the season, making the
Beavers bowl-eligible.
With a loss, however, the Beavers
would essentially end their Rose
Bowl hopes.
“Obviously we are still in the
thick of the Rose Bowl race right
now, and we must continue to play
like we’ve been playing,” Erickson
said. “UCLA slipped against Cali
fornia, and we know that we will be
running into a buzzsaw going
down to play them.”
UCLA needs a win to get back on
track in the Pac-10 chase, especial
ly with games at Arizona and
Washington just around the corner.
“My concern at this point is
more us than them,” Bruin head
coach Bob Toledo said. “We are our
own worst enemy.”
The game will feature two of the
most potent offenses in the Pac-10,
with Oregon State and the Bruins
both ranking near the top of the
conference in scoring.
Oregon State junior tailback Ken
Simonton is the nation’s fourth
leading rusher with 149 yards per
game. In the air, quarterback
Jonathon Smith is equally danger
ous with targets like wide receiver
T.J. Houshmandzadeh and split
end Chad Johnson.
UCLA receiver Freddie Mitchell
leads the nation in receiving yards
with 122.7 per game. Junior Brian
Poli-Dixon is also a receiving threat
behind quarterbacks Cory Paus and
Ryan McCann.
The Bruins will be out for re
venge this season. Last year, Oregon
State recorded its biggest rout over
UCLA in the history of the series.
The Beavers smashed the Bruins,
55-7, in Corvallis, on 261 yards
passing by Smith. UCLA still leads
the overall series 34-12-4, dating
back to 1930.
