Arizona junior wide receiver Bobby Wade, the Wildcats’ veteran leader at the receiver position this season, is shown here being taken
down by former Oregon linebacker Garrett Sabol in Oregon’s 14-10 victory at home against Arizona last season.
Pac-10
continued from page 5
“We’re just not making the big
plays that we did last year,” he said.
“I’m a little concerned because the
first two weeks were dismal.”
On the other side of the field,
Washington State has scored 77
points in its firsts two games and
has the top rated offense in the Pac
10. Receiver Nakoa McElrath is
leading the nation with 175.5 yards
per game for the Cougars.
Head coach Mike Price’s defense
is also holding opposing squads to
64 yards per game on the ground,
so Cal’s straw-hat band will likely
be kept quiet most of the game.
Arizona State (1-0, 0-0)
at Stanford (1-0,0-0)
Stanford won the last two meet
ings, but Arizona State leads the
overall series 11-6. Both teams are
coming off big wins from two
weeks ago, with Stanford beating
a strong Boston College team, 38
22, and the Sun Devils victorious
over San Diego State, 38-7. ASU
head coach Dirk Koetter knows
his team’s opponents will only get
tougher.
“Even though we scored a few
points against San Diego State, we
are going to have to play a lot better
as we get into Pac-10 play if we are
going to get into shootouts with
anybody," he said. “We are a little
bit away from putting everything
together on offense.”
Stanford coach Tyrone Willing
ham is preparing his athletes for a
physical battle.
“Arizona State has a great repu
tation for being a physical football
team and also a very explosive and
quick football team,” he said.
Stanford should keep an eye out
for ASU center Scott Peters, who
Koetter called a “coach’s dream.”
He has helped the team focus on
the practice field, and Koetter ex
pects the game-time execution to be
improved, thanks to Peters.
Players for ASU to watch out for
are quarterback Randy Fasani, safe
ty Tank Williams and linebacker
Coy Wire, who led the Cardinal in
tackles last season.
UNLV (0-2, 0-0 Western
Athletic Conference)
at Arizona (2-0, 0-0)
UNLV should prove to be Ari
zona’s toughest competition of the
young season. The Rebels are com
ing off a 37-28 loss to 20th ranked
Northwestern two weeks ago and a
14-10 loss to Arkansas on August 30.
Junior quarterback Jason
Thomas leads UNLV’s offense
with a strong wide receiver
group, including Troy Mason,
who was the conference’s best
punt returner last season.
Arizona head coach John
Mackovic said the pass rush of the

Rebels will be the best of the three
teams they have played this year.
In their two previous games, the
Cats have allowed just two sacks
while racking up 10 of their own.
This is due in part to quarterback
Jason Johnson’s ability to escape
closing defenders.
“He knows what to do with the
football and get rid of it if he’s un
der pressure,” Mackovic said.
In its last game Sept. 8, Arizona
gave up 29 points in the fourth
quarter, hanging on to win the game
36-29. Mackovic blamed the final
quarter slide on conditioning.
“We wore down a little bit,” he
said. “We need some three-and
outs.”
If the Cats’ defense can stay fresh,
Arizona should be able to handle
the Rebels.
