Here comes the Week 3 freight
train.
The Pac-10 schedule is packed
with scintillating matchups this
week. The strength and national re
spect for the conference for this
season could be determined in the
space of one day, and that day will
be Saturday.
Three Pac-10 teams will play top
25 squads. Five of nine Pac-10 games
will be on national or regional televi
sion. More than one Pac-10 fate will
be determined.
Here are the weekend’s banner
games. All games are on Saturday.

If there was one thing Colorado
fans hated to see last weekend, it was
UCLA’s comeback win over Col
orado State. T\vo weeks ago, the Buf
faloes were trampled by CSLTs Rams
and looked to be off-track early in
the season.
But if Colorado fans have learned
one thing over the past few years,
it’s that the Buffs shouldn’t have a
problem coming back from an ear
ly-season loss. Last season, Col
orado came back from an embar
rassing opening loss to Fresno State
to make it into the Fiesta Bowl,
where they met Oregon.
In Colorado’s second game of the
season, the Buffs easily handled
San Diego State at home, 34-14,
though the game was closer than
the score indicates.
USC, meanwhile, is still basking
in the glow of a 24-17 victory over
Auburn two weeks ago, because
they haven’t played since. Fifth
year quarterback Carson Palmer
was named Pac-10 Offensive Play
er of the Week for his 302-yard per
formance in that game. The aging
veteran of the Pac-10 seems to be
slapped with the “This is His Year”
label every season, but this really
could be his year, especially with a
fearsome Trojan defense backing
him up.
Colorado and USC have met four
times, with the Trojans winning
every meeting. Could the fifth time
be the charm for the Buffs?

Two weeks ago, California was a

team. All of a sudden, the Bears’ trip
to East Lansing is deeply intriguing.
All Cal did in the past two weeks
was win two games against
mediocre-to-bad teams, a ho-hum
accomplishment for many squads.
But this is a Cal team that hasn’t won
two straight to open a season since
1997. This is a team that lost their
first two games last season by a com
bined 88-33.
And this is a team that won their
first two games of 2002 by a lot of
points — a combined 104-35 over
Baylor and New Mexico State — as if
sending a message that the Bears are
back in town.
But the Spartans will provide the
first test of the season, and it’s a test
that California could easily flunk.
Michigan State has the nation’s top
receiver in Charles Rogers and a top
quarterback in Jeff Smoker, and the
Spartan offense accumulated 83
points in season-opening wins over
Eastern Michigan and Rice.
It was a shock when Cal won its
first game of the season and a shock
when it took the second, and it
would be the biggest shock of them
all if the Bears keep the streak rolling
in Michigan.

UCLA has been engulfed in tur
moil this offseason, with several
players, including star wide receiver
Rickey Manning, jr., allegedly in

the Bruins didn’t let that affect them
in an inspired 30-19 victory over
Colorado State in their first game
last week. UCLA scored 23 fourth
