downs by penalty.
“I think Cody would trade all
those numbers for more wins,”
Washington head coach Rick
Neuheisel said. “We’re really focus
ing on that. Maybe sometime down
the future we’ll have some time to
reflect on that. But right now we are
just trying to do everything we can
to seek out victories.”
Another record-setter is senior
placekicker John Anderson, who
has raised the bar for all kickers in
the conference.
In 1999, Anderson’s freshman
year, he led the team with 73 points.
Anderson converted a 50-yard field
goal against Oregon State that sea
son, the longest Washington kick
since 1989.
Anderson would raise the stan
dard even more by putting one
through the uprights from 56 yards
out, tying the school record. Ander
son would do it again from that dis
tance, and became only the second
true freshman in NCAA history to
boot three 50-yard field goals in a
single season.
Four years later, Anderson is tied
for sixth in the nation with l.bO
field goals per game. The senior
converted four of five kicks against
California on Oct. 5, the second
most field goals ever in a game in
Washington.
Anderson’s total of 50-yarders is
now at six, and he holds the fifth
best percentage in school history at
.696 in his career.

faces No. 23 Oregon on Saturday
and No. 3 Washington State in Pull
man next week.
The Huskies snapped a three
game losing streak with a 41-29 vic
tory over OSU last weekend.
Without the help of Husky cor
nerback Derrick Johnson, that may
not have been possible. Johnson
racked up two of Washington’s five
interceptions and returned one 42
yards for a touchdown. The sopho
more from Riverside, Calif., also
posted six solo tackles. Johnson was
one of three athletes named Pac-10
Player of the Week.
“I’m excited for Derrick,”
Neuheisel said. “Hopefully this is a
sign of things to come. He certainly
is a great kid and I am excited for
him to have more and more success
as we continue to go forward. He is
only a sophomore, so hopefully he
will have a productive career.”
So as the Huskies move forward,
they have an arm in Pickett that
can’t be stopped, a foot in Anderson
that can boot one from any distance
and a recovered Johnson who is
back and better than ever. As Wash
ington continues its pursuit through
the records, it could see a bowl
game, after all.

Pac-10
continued from page 7B
award goes to the obvious choice: Stanford hosting Oregon
State. Both teams have losing records in the Pac-10 and the two
lowest pass-efficiency ratings in the league.
Oregon State currently leads the Pac-10 in rushing offense
and scoring defense, yet the Beavers are tied with Washington
for seventh in the Pac-10 standings.
The Beavers’ only conference wins have come at home against
California and last-place Arizona. The Beavers averaged 31 points
in those two games, and gave up an average of eight points.
Oregon State’s easy preseason schedule — The Beavers
went 4-0 — is the reason OSU has a chance to finish with a
winning record.
“It’s a matter for us to get on the road and try to get a win,
which we haven’t in two years in the league,” Oregon State head
coach Dennis Erickson said.
Saturday’s game will be Erickson’s 200th game as a college
head coach.
Stanford has the last-place scoring defense in the Pac-10, as
well as the last-place passing offense in a league that is known
for being pass-oriented.
The Cardinal have lost three games in a row, averaging 16
points in those three games. They have given up an average 39
points in those same three games.
“It’s a special game, the last home game for our seniors, and
they want to go out on a positive note,” Stanford head coach
Buddy Teevens said.
“They’re dying for a win just like we are,” Erickson said.
Something may be dying, but it’s just the slow death of both
teams.
