Pac-10 race down to the wire
■ For most of the Pac-10 teams,
Saturday’s games mark the last
matches before rivalry week
By Chris Cabot
Oregon Daily Emerald
As the football season nears its
end, this week holds potentially
enormous implications for bowl se
lections. For the most part, the
games feature some unbalanced
matchups, but if any of the under
dog teams can come up with wins,
there could be quite a shakeup in
the conference standings.
Washington at Oregon State
Oregon State (3-5 overall, 2-4 Pac
10) could really help the Ducks this
weekend with a win against Wash
ington in Corvallis. In order to beat
the No. 8 team in the nation, the
Beavers need to pull out of the funk
that running back Ken Simonton
and the rest of the team has been
mired in most of the season.
Oregon State is coming off an
overtime loss to Southern Califor
nia, a game in which Simonton
rushed for 96 yards. In addition to
Simonton, the Beavers’ Steven Jack
son gained 119 yards, so Oregon
State’s head coach Dennis Erickson
said he will see quite a bit of play
ing time against Washington. The
combination of Simonton, Jackson,
quarterback Jonathan Smith and a
strong wide receiver corps lead by
James Newson will give the Wash
ington defense a tough test.
Oregon State will also be looking
for some revenge after losing its
only game last year to the Huskies.
“We are going to be playing an
inspired football team, a very tal
ented football team, that hasn’t
quite hit its stride,” Washington
head coach Rick Neuheisel said.
Washington State
at Arizona State
This game marks the llth-ranked
Cougars’ last game before the Apple
Cup, and they are still not getting the
respect they deserve. After beating
UCLA last week 20-14, Washington
State (7-1,5-1) is only favored to beat
the Sun Devils by two points.
Quarterback Jason Gesser is lead
ing the Pac-10 in total offense and is
leading the Cougar offense to 38.3
points per game and 310.4 passing
yards per game, both top numbers
in the conference and near the na
tional leaders.
The Washington State defense is
another strong-suit for head coach
Mike Price. They have intercepted
a league-leading 20 passes, thanks
in large part to Lamont Thompson,
who has seven interceptions.
Leading Arizona State is their of
fensive triple threat of tailback Del von
Flowers, wide receiver Shaun Mc
Donald and quarterback Jeff Krohn.
Stanford at Arizona
Last week’s win over California
snapped Arizona’s 10-game confer
ence losing streak, but with Stan
ford’s rush defense, which is the best
in the Pac-10, and powerful offense,
the Wildcats will probably begin an
other streak.
Wide receiver Bobby Wade
caught three touchdown passes
from Jason Johnson in Arizona’s
win last week, and they should be
able to connect often against Stan
ford’s struggling secondary. But
with Arizona’s defense ranking
near the bottom of conference in
points allowed, Stanford’s offense,
lead by the running of Brian Allen,
should keep the scorekeeper busy.
Southern California
at California
The Golden Bears (0-8, 0-6) are '
still looking for their first win with
three games remaining—this week’s
contest against USC, next week at *
Stanford and Nov. 23 at Rutgers.
Statistically, Cal has the worst scor
ing offense and defense in the Pac-10,
while USC brings the worst total of
fense to Saturday’s heated contest.
The Trojan defense will be the
deciding factor in the game,
though, as they are second in the
conference in points allowed.

“Getting back in charge of our
destiny doesn’t change the way
we’re going to approach this thing,”
said Bellotti, who is 16-3 in Novem
ber. “Our kids have done a great job
of focusing this year. ”
The last time Oregon and UCLA
met in the Rose Bowl, the Bruins es
caped with a 34-29 win, despite a
mammoth fourth-quarter comeback
from the Ducks.
As a freshman, UCLA quarter
back Cory Paus, the projected starter
for Saturday’s game, threw for 332
yards and two touchdowns in that
1999 win.
The Ducks, however, are 11-2 on the
road since their last visit to Pasadena,
including a 4-0 mark this year.
“If you look at Oregon, they are an
excellent football team,” UCLA
head coach Bob Toledo said. “But
right now I’m more concerned
about us at this point. Somehow I
need to get this team refocused on
what we need to do to finish up and
have a good season. ”
