Pac-10 play opens
in light of tragedy
■The Pac-10 returns to action
this weekend, looking to pick up
where it left off two weeks ago

After a sobering week off, the Pa
cific-10 Conference will return to the
gridiron Saturday. A few teams are
looking to beat up on non-confer
ence opponents before the full Pac
10 schedule gets underway next
weekend. All of the games will in
volve emotional tributes to victims of
the national tragedies.
Idaho (0-2 overall, 0-0
Mountain West Conference)
at No. 13 Washington (1-0
overall, 0-0 Pac-10
Conference)
The numbers point to a definite
Washington victory in this game.
The Huskies are coming off a 23-18
win over lOth-ranked Michigan last
week, while Idaho has lost two
straight to Washington State and
Arizona. The Vandals trail in the
overall series 2-30-2.
Recent national tragedies may
prove to be a distraction for Wash
ington, though. In addition to the
terrorist attacks in New York and
Washington, D.C., 16 Husky boost
ers died in a plane crash last week
while traveling in Mexico. Despite
these unfortunate circumstances,
head coach Rick Neuheisel is con
fident his team will not miss a beat
on the field.
“This is a game of very competi
tive people, both coaches and play
ers alike, and I think when you get
back onto the field of play that com
petitive spirit is going to shine just
as brightly as it ever did,” he said.
During both the pregame period
and halftime of the game in Seattle,
there will be tributes to victims of
both the tragedies.
Last season when the two teams
met, Washington used a balanced
offensive scheme gaining, 239
yards on the ground and 235
through the air. The Huskies also
took advantage of five Idaho
turnovers, winning the game 44-20.
Neuheisel’s squad is currently
riding the longest winning streak in
the Pac-10 at nine games. Unless
Vandal quarterback John Welsh can
come up with a phenomenal game
and their defense can slow the
Husky offense, the Dawgs should
extend their streak to 10.
California (0-2, 0-0) at
Washington State (2-0, 0-0)
The first game of the Pac-10 sea
son will be held in Pullman, Wash.
The last time Cal won at Washing
ton State was in 1979, so both his
tory and a better football team stand
in their way of a win.
Despite passing for 291 yards in
their last contest against Brigham
Young on Sept. 8, quarterback Kyle
Boiler and the Bears lost 44-16,
Boiler often uses fullback Marcus
Fields as his primary receiver. In
Cal’s first two games, Fields had
nine catches for 133 yards and one
touchdown. Head coach Tom Hol
moe is not pleased with his team’s
play, though.
