■ PAC-10 Stanford to play former coach, Notre Dame Fighting Irish hope to top Cardinal after ugly loss last Saturday against Purdue left team hurting BY SCOTT J. ADAMS FREELANCE REPORTER Week seven of the 2004-05 foot ball season pits Pacific-10 Confer ence upstart Stanford against its for mer head coach, Tyrone Willingham, and Notre Dame. As the late Rodney Dangerfield of the Pac-10, Stanford is looking for re spect after tallying a 3-1 start. Stan ford’s only loss so far came two weeks ago against undefeated de fending National Champion Southern California in a 31-28 nail-biter at Palo Alto, Calif. Buddy Teevens, now in his second year as Stanford’s head coach, leads the Cardinal into Southbend, Ind., this weekend, which marks Stan ford’s first away game of the season. The Cardinal are coming off of a 27 14 win against Washington, which saw junior J.R. Lemon rush for 162 yards and three touchdowns. Stanford’s sophomore quarterback Ttent Edwards has proven himself to be reliable, regardless of his question able arm-strength. He is a steady per former who has very accurate throw ing in the pocket. Notre Dame defensive coordinator Kent Baer will try to capitalize on Edwards’ lack of experience by forcing heavy pressure on him all game. For Stanford this season, defense wins games, and this Saturday the Cardinal will need another stingy outing by its defense in order to keep the game in its control. Willingham views Stanford’s de fense as nothing less than formidable.

Two of the nation’s elite programs will square off when co-defending national champion USC (4-0 overall, 1-0 Pac-10) hosts No. 7 California (3 0,1-0) at 12:30 p.m. Saturday in Los Angeles. In their past 25 games, the No. 1 'frojans have compiled a gaudy 24-1 record. That lone loss, however, came at the hands of California in a thrilling 34-31 triple-overtime game in Berkeley, Calif., last September. Golden Bears head coach Jeff Ted ford said his team believes it can once again translate last season’s win over USC into another monumental upset. “They will take some confidence out of last year’s game that we’ve done this before,” said Tedford, a for mer offensive coordinator at Oregon. “That being said, they have tremen dous respect for USC — you’d be foolish not to.” Tedford said his biggest worry heading into the contest is the protec tion of his junior quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Through three games this season, Rodgers has passed for 614 GOTW, page 10B CUiiznosSuB OVEN TOASTED BY TWO LOCAL GUYS! i 3 TOASTED SUBS • SOUPS • SALADS UO Campus at 13th & Alder (Inside Starbucks) I 5th Street Public Market “ Gateway Blvd. & Beltline Rd.
