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.

(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.

averaged 36 points and 387 yards of to
tal offense per game. 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.
