Oregon State defensive tackle Eric Manning (99) and the Beavers defense have led many to call OSU a sleeper team in the Pac-10.
Pac-10
continued from page 4
quarter points in a spirited come
back win over the Rams, a team that
beat Colorado in the first week of
the season.
Oklahoma State collapsed in a
season-opening loss at Louisiana
Tech. Ahead 36-18 late in the third
quarter, the Cowboys gave up 21
straight points and lost, 39-36.
OSU made up for the loss by
pounding Northern Iowa, 45-10,
last week.
UCLA should continue their ear
ly-season success with a win in Ok
lahoma, but with that many prob
lems, the team quickly becomes a
Pac-10 wildcard.
UNLV(M)
at Oregon State (2-0)
4 p.m., TBS
Oregon State was a preseason fa
vorite of many pollsters to be the
sleeper team of the Pac-10 Confer
ence, and the Beavers have done all
they can to keep that stigma. Ore
gon State trampled Eastern Ken
tucky 49-10 in its first game, then
traveled to Philadelphia to maul
Temple 35-3 last week. The Beavers
have relied on the accurate arm of
Derek Anderson and a dominating
defense to win their first two games,
and look to continue the trend in
TBS’ first game of a new, national
Pac-10 cable agreement.
UNLV has an early loss to Wiscon
sin, a win against Kansas and a leg
endary coach, John Robinson, who
is going for his 121st career win Sat
urday. Robinson, an Oregon gradu
ate and former USC coach, has 11
career wins over Oregon State, his
most against any one school.
If Robinson can continue his Ore
gon State dominance, the Beavers
might not be the sleeper team of the
Pac-10 any more.
San Jose State (1-1)
at Stanford (0-1)
7 p.m., local TV
Certainly, Stanford didn’t lose
last week at Boston College because
of a few long-distance phone calls,
did they?
Oh, but they may have.
The Cardinal’s starting quarter
back, Chris Lewis, was forced to sit
out Stanford’s season opener be
cause of a few long-distance calls he
made on the company’s dime when
he was an intern in the summer of
2001. Boston College edged Stan
ford 34-27 in the game, meaning
that new Cardinal coach Buddy Tee
vans will be on the prowl for his first
Stanford victory Saturday.
San Jose State played Washington
tough last week and even led the
Huskies 10-0 at halftime before
falling 34-10. The Spartans have
had success against the Cardinal, in
cluding a three-year dominance
from 1998-2000. But Stanford
broke that curse with a 41-14
pounding in San Jose last year.
Arizona State (2-1) at
San Diego State (0-2)
7 p.m., local TV
Those poor Aztecs. After opening
the season against a Fresno State
team that almost beat Oregon, San
Diego State faced a Colorado team
still stinging from a season-opening
loss to Colorado State. Now the
Aztecs face a tough Arizona State
team, and after a breather against
Idaho next week, they travel to
UCLA to take on another Pac-10
powerhouse.
Brutal.
The Sun Devils need to win this
game in order to assert themselves
as a Pac-10 title contender. Their
only loss was to top-10 squad Ne
braska, and ASU has blowouts of
Eastern Washington and Central
Florida to their credit. One of the
question marks of the conference,
Arizona State could answer those
questions Saturday.
Utah (2-0)
at Arizona (1-0)
6:1 5 p.m., local TV
Well, at least there’s one Pac-10
game that nobody cares about. But
wait, those in the neighboring states
might care quite a bit about the
game. The two teams have a rich
history, including splitting the last
16 games in Tucson. Arizona has
the upper hand recently, winning
seven of the last eight. That eighth
game, though, was the 1994 Free
dom Bowl, which Utah won.
Utah has trounced Utah State and
Indiana this season by a combined
63-16, and is looking ahead to a
game at the “Big House” against
Michigan next Saturday. Arizona
took care of Northern Arizona in its
opener, 37-3.
It’s a border war that may be bor
ing to those on the west coast, but
is thrilling to the in-state people all
the same.
