He's had a quarterback guru to watch over him since he stepped on the Califor nia campus. That guru is former Oregon offen sive coordinator and current Califor nia head coach JeffTedford. "He's got tremendous attributes, he's athletic, he's got a good arm, he's smart, he's competitive, he's tough," Tedford told the Daily Californian be fore the season about his prediction of Rodgers. "I think that he is gonna be a great leader." Right on target.

Interviews Held On Campus TOMORROW Place: EMU Time: 10 a.m. to 3 o.m That's a drop USC defeated Arizona, 45-0, on Saturday. That should keep the Trojans No. 2 in the Bowl Championship Series, right? Wrong. Ohio State's 16-13 win over Purdue the same day was enough to vault the Buckeyes to No. 2 in the BCS standings, less than a quarter of a point in front of No. 3 USC. The Trojans, then, have a more than four-point lead over No. 4 LSU. Because USC played the Wildcats, just 2-9 overall this season, the Tro jans dropped in strength of schedule. Ohio State moved up in strength of schedule because the Boilermakers were No. 11 in the Associated Press top 25 last week and No. 10 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. USC sits in second in both polls while the Buckeyes are fourth in both. The ramifications of USC dropping a notch can be felt all across the Pac 10. The winner of the Pac-10 automat ically goes to the Rose Bowl unless that team is selected to the national championship game. With USC slated to the Rose, Wash ington State is set for the Holiday Bowl, Oregon State is ready for the Sun Bowl and Oregon is going to the Insight Bowl. The final two bowl invi tations should be filled out by Cali fornia and UCLA. Of course, there are three more weeks of Pac-10 play, so that could all change. Also, a loss to Michigan — if that were to happen — by Ohio State this week would bump USC back to No. 2, provided it beats UCLA Saturday. Then there could be two Pac-10 teams in the BCS, thus bumping everyone up one spot. Contact the sports editor at hankhageP@daityemerald.com. HAGER continued from page 5 few too many times. There were highlights, though. If Brooks wasn't passing behind his back, he was picking off an errant EA Sports pass. He had one turnover and was credited with seven assists. lackson shot 6 of 14 from the field for 17 points. Much like the rest of the starting offense, he got off to a cold start but picked it up in the end. "Maybe we didn't dick that quickly," Crosswhite said. "Maybe there were some cobwebs." Maybe, but there shouldn't be any worries in the minds of Oregon fans. The Ducks are a faster team than last season. It will just take some time for the starting five to get used to one another. Once that happens, watch out. • It was good to see Ed O'Bannon back at McArthur Court. He scored 21 points to lead EA Sports. It wasn't, however, the fact that he scored so many points or grabbed 10 rebounds. Having O'Bannon back in McArthur Court was a sign of the good times of the Pacific-10 Conference. His presence harkened back to the days when UCLA was competitive. The Bruins have been a shell of what they once were. A lack of quality recruiting and less-than-stellar atti tudes have doomed UCLA in the past few seasons, dropping it to the bot tom of the conference. If the 2003-04 season can be a differ ent one this season in Los Angeles, it will benefit the Pac-10 as a whole Granted, nobody in Eugene prob ably wants to see the Bruins back at the top again, but a more competi tive UCLA would mean better games at McArthur Court. And as we've found out with the Bowl Champi onship Series, strength of schedule really does count. Imagine if Oregon was bumped from a No. 6 seed to a No. 8 seed in the NCAA tournament this year because of strength of schedule. That could hap pen if the Pac-10 has a down year. • I don't know what was a bigger mismatch: Watching Jordan Oathes — the University freshman who won an EA Sports contest last week to be able to suit up for the team — trying to box out Oregon's AcfaAf^fn or the Ducks' secondary against Arizona State earlier this season.
