°°PAC-10 Huskies hope to salvage season, travel to Stanford In other action, UCLA will host the surprising San Diego State Aztecs BY ALEX TAM FREELANCE REPORTER Three Pacific-10 Conference games highlight this weekend’s action, while three Pac-10 teams have the week off. In addition to Arizona State travel ing to face Oregon and California tak ing on Oregon State, the only other Pac-10 game will feature Washington playing at Stanford. In the only non-conference game, UCLA, hosts San Diego State. Arizona, USC and Washington State are all on a bye week. Washington (0-3 overall, 0-1 Pac-10) at Stanford (0-1, 2-1) Despite a winless record to begin the season, Washington moves on to an opponent who it has dominated over the past 28 years. Since 1976, the Huskies have won 20 of the last 22 meetings against Stan ford, including the last six contests. Last weekend, however, Washing ton experienced a drubbing by Notre Dame in a 38-3 loss in South Bend, Ind. The other two losses were to Fresno State and UCLA. This season the Huskies have lost by an average score of 37-17. The Huskies still believe they can salvage their season, despite the hor rible start, Washington linebacker Derrick Johnson said. “I think we can definitely bounce back,” Johnson said. “We are fighters and we are going to keep fighting and we are going to do whatever we have to get our first win.” An improving Stanford team heads into the game after nearly defeating No. 1 USC last weekend. The Cardi nal led the Trojans, the co-defending national champions, 28-17 heading into halftime. However, USC scored two unanswered touchdowns in the second half for the victory.

Last season, the Cardinal averaged just 16.9 points and 283 yards of total offense per game. UCLA (2-1,1-0) vs. San Diego State (2-1) UCLA enters the contest after a bye week and a record-breaking perform ance by running back Maurice Drew two weeks ago. Drew, who was named National Player of the Week by several media outlets two weeks ago, rushed for 322 yards and five touchdowns against Washington. Those feats set UCLA records in rushing yards and touchdowns in one game. “I haven’t seen a performance like that in my career, particularly at the college level,” UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell said. “His performance was something I will remember for quite some time.” Dorrell said he knew San Diego State posed a threat after his team narrowly defeated the Aztecs 20-10 last season. San Diego State defeated Nevada 27-10 last Saturday for its second victory. “It’s a great challenge. That’s a pretty good football team,” Dorrell said. “They are really good on offense and their defense makes you earn everything you can get off them.” San Diego’s run defense has only allowed 93 yards per game, which ranks No. 23 in the nation. Last week, the Aztecs surrendered only 84 yards to Nevada.
