Conference games heat up
during fifth week of play
Arizona is taking baby steps
toward winning a game,
while UCLA looks to remain
perfect in Pac-10 play
Scott Archer
Freelance Reporter
Finally, there is a week of Pacific-10
Conference play with no non-confer
ence matchups and no bye weeks for
any teams. Expectations for many
teams have begun to evaporate, if not
disappear, since the beginning of the
season that began eight weeks ago.
Arizona (1-6 overall,
0-3 Pac-10)
at California (3-5,1-2)
If it was any other year, this game
would be a yawner. But this isn't any
ordinary year.
California has been resurgent since
the addition of JeffTedford as its head
coach, and while Arizona hasn't done
much of anything this season, it has be
come more competitive in recent weeks.
Arizona has interim coach Mike
Hankwitz calling the shots, and it
seems to be working. The Wildcats
were only one defensive stop away
from upsetting current Pac-10 unbeat
en UCLA two weeks ago.
California is coming off of a near
upset bid against UCLA as well. Ari
zona rolls into Memorial Stadium
having won the last matchup between
the Golden Bears and the Wildcats in
a bam burner, 52-41.
The Wildcats have a two-headed
quarterback of sorts. Nic Costa com
pleted two touchdown passes against
the Bruins and Kris Heavner threw for
another.
Arizona should be well rested com
ing off a bye week, so Hankwitz can fur
ther his impression on the Wildcats.
Arizona State (4-3,1-2)
at UCLA (5-2,3-0)
Cannon-armed Andrew Walter
leads the Sun Devils into the Rose
Bowl on Saturday to take on UCLA.
The Bruins survived a fourth-quar
ter scare from Cal last weekend, only
to prevail in overtime. Arizona State
has had two confidence-boosting
games in both wins against Oregon
and last week against North Carolina.
First-year head coach Karl Dorrell has
his Bruins looking to be the surprise
team of the Pac-10. A tough non-con
ference schedule, which includes Col
orado and Oklahoma, has prepared
UCLA for the enigma that is the Pac-10.
Oregon State (5-2,2-1) at
Washington State (6-1,3-0)
Washington State continues to con
trol its own destiny toward a potential
Pac-10 crown, while Oregon State
must bounce back after a disappoint
ing loss at the hands of Washington.
Oregon State, coming off a bye
week in which it had two weeks to
prepare for the Huskies, came out list
less against an inspired Washington
squad. Steven Jackson has rushed for
926 yards this season, which is good
for more than five Pac-10 teams.
However, he finished his day — and
maybe his Heisman Trophy hopes —
with 49 yards rushing on 22 carries
against the Huskies.
The Cougars lead the league in in
terceptions with 14 but have thrown
only five themselves, which is the best
among the Pac-10 teams. Washington
State holds the Pac-10's longest con
ference winning streak at four games
and has won five straight overall.

Conference favorites set for battle
Washington and USC take
aim at one another in the
Pac-10's game of the week
Scott Archer
Freelance Reporter
The biggest Pacific-10 conference
game slated for play this week would
have been Oregon State against Wash
ington State, but the Beavers didn't
hold up their end of the bargain last
week and were pounded at home by
a resurgent Washington team.
All eyes have been moved to the
USC-Washington tilt, set to take place <
on Saturday in Seattle. The game will <
be regionally televised on ABC.
USC (6-1 overall, 2-1 Pac-10) con- 1
tinues its bid for a shot at the national 1
title. In the first Bowl Championship
Series standings released this year, the 1
Trojans are ranked seventh. The Tro- 1
jans dominated Notre Dame last <
week, 45-14, on national television. 1
Washington (4-3, 2-1) was out- '
gunned last year when the two ‘
squads met. It was an aerial display 1
as heavyweights Carson Palmer and i
Cody Pickett tried to one-up each i
>ther for the win. The Trojans came
>ut on top, 41-21. Palmer threw for
148 yards and four touchdowns,
vhile Pickett threw for 350 yards and
hree touchdowns.
."Nobody has stopped (USC),"
Washington head coach Keith
jilbertson said. "They have such bal
mce and diversity in their offense. So
rou just hope that you can slow them
lown. They are going to get the points
md move the ball because that is how
alented they are."
