The senior has now thrown for
8,897 yards in his Sun Devil career,
passing former Washington State
quarterback Jason Gesser, who
amassed 8,830 yards in four sea
sons as a Cougar.
Next on the list is NFL Hall of
Famer and former Stanford quar
terback John Elway, who passed
for 9,349 yards with the Cardinal.
Oregon State quarterback Derek
Anderson ranks seventh on the list,
which is the highest among active
Pac-10 signal callers. The Scap
poose native has thrown for 9,357
yards and is only 324 yards from
passing Erik Wilhelm and
Jonathan Smith — both former
Beavers — for fifth all-time.
The streak continues
USC extended its winning streak
to 15 games with a 45-7 victory
against then-No. 15 Arizona State
Saturday.
The TVojans have now won 26 of
their last 27 games, including 10
straight conference contests. USC’s
last loss was a 34-31 triple-over
time defeat at the hands of Califor
nia on Sept. 27 of last season.
During USC’s current streak, the
Tfojans have outscored their oppo
nents 598-230 and have a 25-point
average margin of victory.
The co-defending national
champions wrap up a three-game
homestand against Washington
Saturday. USC leads the conference
in attendance, averaging 88,580
fans per game.
Explosive offense
California’s potent offense con
tinued to shine Saturday in a 45-28
win against UCLA.
Head coach Jeff Tedford has the
Golden Bears hitting on all cylin
ders. Cal leads the Pac-10 in rush
ing offense, scoring offense and to
tal offense.
Running back J.J. Arrington
rushed for 205 yards and two
touchdowns in 29 carries against
the Bruins.
“I love when they put the ball in
my hands,” Arrington said after
the game.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers
completed 19 of 29 passes for 260
yards and four touchdowns,
while All-American wide receiver
Geoff McArthur caught nine
balls for 163 yards and a pair of

Smith: Despite Red Sox's
lack of pulse, they will win
Continued from page 9
Ludwig guy. He was a joke. All those
fans sure were right. I mean, that
new offensive coordinator sure is
putting up some numbers, isn’t he?
He got 1138 yards in two games.
Wait, what? That’s still Ludwig? Oh.
I guess somebody always has to be
the scapegoat.
Barry Bonds’ trainer was secretly
taped saying that he gave Bonds an
undetectable steroid for the 2003
season. Are we supposed to be sur
prised? Bonds has been juiced for
years in my opinion, and this is
nothing new to me.
1 do, however, think that Bonds is
one of the best hitters in baseball.
But is it because of the drugs? Would
his bat be as fast? Would those
end-of-the-bat home runs still go out?
I’m still waiting for the other shoe to
drop on Bonds, and until it does, 1
will withhold full credit for 703
and counting.
Last week, I predicted that the Red
Sox would win in seven. What 1
meant to say was the Red Sox will win
in seven years. The year 2027. Seven
decades from now. I certainly didn’t
mean this year. I’m not an idiot.
Alright, I am.
With the Red Sox being down 3-1,
without a pulse and delaying the in
evitable with Sunday night’s walk-off
job, my rock-solid prediction is any
thing but.
When the hope of the Red Sox na
tion rests on a miracle brace for Curt
Schilling’s ankle, that’s a problem.
When Johnny Damon, the Red Sox
leadoff hitter, has a championship se

However, I will stick to my guns
and believe that the Red Sox will win
in seven. No matter how ludicrous
that looks at the moment.
How is everyone’s fantasy golf
team? That’s right, fantasy golf baby.
TVying to guess which players are go
ing win the week’s PGA tournament
not sexy enough? Apparently not for
me, for I have failed to edit my team
for the past five months now, and 1
don’t think that I am going to
start again.
Good news, however.
With a win this week, my public
league fantasy football team has
clawed its way back to the .500 mark,
after beating the trash-talking “HE
HATE ME?” which included one
Daunte Culpepper and his 425 yards
and five touchdowns yesterday
against the Saints.
There are few things that make
Monday morning at the sports desk
more enjoyable than doing rapid fist
pumps in celebration of a gritty, gutty
win by names on a screen.
1 know because I did this at 10:30
Monday morning with a 20 oz.
Mountain Dew at my side.
1 always take special pride in
beating the trash-talker in the
league. It makes the season. For the
rest of the fantasy year I can walk
around knowing that I shut down
“HE HATE ME?” and his plans to
dominate the league.
