Pac-10 teams set to continue national success
I he Pac-lU enters its third week
of football with just two teams
having lost this season
By Jesse Thomas
Sports Reporter
It is just the third week of football,
and the Pacific-10 Conference is off
to a strong start. USC had its most
impressive shutout in 30 years and
— with the exceptions of Washing
ton's loss to last year's national
champion, Ohio State, and Califor
nia's loss to Kansas State — every
other team has won.
Now with three teams ranked in Ihe
Associated Press top 25 — No. 4 USC,
No. 20 Arizona State and No. 22 Wash
ington, with Oregon State barely out at
No. 26 — the Conference of Champi
ons is establishing itself.
Conference play begins Sept. 13
when Oregon faces Arizona. This
week's non-conference games could
give some indication of what the Pac
10 competition has to offer.
Washington State (1-0)
at No. 19 Notre Dame (0-0)
After shutting out Idaho 25-0 in
their first game of the year, the
Cougars head to Indiana this week
end in their first-ever meeting with the
Fighting Irish.
The coaching matchup proves in
teresting and appears backwards. New
Washington State head coach Bill
Doba is a native of South Bend, Ind.,
and former Stanford coach Tyrone
Willingham begins his second season
at Notre Dame after seven years in
Palo Alto, Calif.
The Fighting Irish kick off their
season Saturday after a 10-3 finish
last season; All-American corner
back/kick returner Vontez Duff will
be one to watch.
UCLA (0-0)
at No. 24 Colorado (1-0)
The Bruins have the overall advan
tage, having won four of the teams'
five meetings, but the Buffaloes had
their merry way last year at the Rose
Bowl in a dominating 31-17 win.
Colorado rushed for 325 yards
against UCLA in 2002 while the Bru
ins could manage just 62 yards rush
ing and 284 yards of total offense.
The Bruins have not played in Boul
der, Colo., since 1984, when they
won 33-16. At that time, first-year
head coach Karl Dorrell was a player
for the Bruins, but ended up redshirt
ing that season.
Indiana (0-1)
at No. 22 Washington (0-1)
The Hoosiers just can't seem to get
enough of the Huskies.
Indiana travels to Seattle to face
Washington after dropping its first
game 34-10 to Connecticut (which, as
basketball fans will remember, also
has a Husky mascot).
Washington is looking to rebound
from the 28-9 loss at Ohio State's
hands. The Hoosiers and Huskies will
play for the first time in 25 years and
only the second time ever with Indi
ana winning the previous game.
The Hoosiers have a total record of
6-14 against Pac-10 teams.
No. 13 LSU (1-0)
at Arizona (1-0)
The No. 13 Tigers make their first
trip to Tucson looking for their sec
ond win after destroying Louisiana
Monroe 49-7 last weekend.
Arizona showed offensive firepower
of its own in its opening 42-7 victory
over the University of Texas at El Paso.
Sophomore quarterback and Aloha na
tive Nic Costa earned the starting posi
tion and proved he deserved it by going
6 of 10 for 119 yards and two touch
downs, one of which he ran in.
The Wildcats have faced the Tigers
only once, in 1984 in Baton Rouge,
La., where LSU scraped by in a 27-26
decision.
Northern Arizona (1-0)
at No. 20 Arizona State
(0-0)
The in-state rivalry dates back to
1915, and the Sun Devils hold the 16
14-4 series lead. It has been more than
a half-century since they last met.
It was 1950 when they last faced
off, with Arizona State shutting out
