Quarterback Carson Palmer (3), back for his fifth season at USC, leads the Trojans into battle against Auburn on Saturday.
Pac-10
continued from page 10
Baylor at Cal
The similarities here are creepy.
Baylor and Gal are both the Bears,
and they both stink. Period.
Gal is coming off a one-win sea
son, while the Big 12’s Baylor went
3-8 last year. Neither team won a
game in their conference.
Surprisingly, the Gal Bears have
sold tickets to this game (how, ex
actly, remains a mystery). The Bad
News Bears (Gal) look to start head
coach Jeff Tedford's tenure on a
good note. Unfortunately for Gal,
there will be 11 opposing players on
the field.
About all you need to know is that
you shouldn’t watch this game.
Northern Arizona
at Arizona
Not a sure-fire win for the Wild
cats of Arizona, but this matchup
does again feature a small school
against a big Pac-10 thug. The
Lumberjacks (8-4 last year) and
Wildcats will meet for the first time
in 57 years.
Northern Arizona — ranked No.
20 in the ESPN/USA Today Divi
sion I-AA poll — is familiar with
tough competition. The Lumber
jacks play in the Big Sky Confer
ence, which has four teams
ranked in the preseason and
boasts the defending Division I-AA
national champs, Montana.
Northern Arizona finished 8-4
and advanced to the D-I-AA playoffs
in 2001. The Wildcats were 5-6 and
led by running back Clarence
Farmer, the Pac-10 rushing leader
last year.
Eastern Washington
at Arizona State
After getting blown out at Ne
braska last week, the Sun Devils
(0-1 overall) look to take out their
aggression on the Eagles, a Divi
sion I-AA school that finished last
year 7-4 overall.
ASU was embarrassed by its in
ability to stop the Nebraska run
in Lincoln.
“We weren't tested in the passing
game,” Sun Devil coach Dirk Koet
ter told The Arizona Republic. “I
feel more comfortable with our de
fense against a pass-oriented team”
like Eastern Washington.
Auburn at No. 20 USC
In a rare Monday game, the Tro
jans look to show why many favor
them as a dark horse in the Pac
10 this season. USC begins the
year with a tough stretch of games
— facing Colorado, Kansas State,
Oregon State and Washington
State — so it must build some
confidence against Auburn for the
stretch run.
Auburn cannot be overlooked,
though. The Tigers were 7-2 last
season before star running back
Camell Williams went down with a
season-ending injury. Auburn lost
three straight games to end the
season, but Williams is back and
looks to lead the Tigers to the top
of the Southeastern Conference
West division.
