Undefeated Trojans face off
against weak Washington
Stanford looks for a win
on its home turf as
Arizona State visits
BY KIM GAVIGLIO
FREELANCE REPORTER
The Pacific-10 Conference is domi
nating the college football world as
teams roll into week eight. Four Pac-10
teams are ranked in the Top 25, with
USC leading the way at No. 1. Arizona
State and Oregon State are also climb
ing up the rankings, each currently in
the top 35. This week Oregon goes to
Arizona, Oregon State plays UCLA,
USC travels north to Washington, Ari
zona State takes on Stanford and
Washington State goes to Berkeley to
play California.
USC (6-0, 3-0) vs.
Washington (1-5, 0-3)
This week the undefeated Tfojans
take on one of the weakest teams in
the Pac-10, the Huskies. Last week
the Trojans played what might be
considered the game of the year
against No. 9 Notre Dame, miracu
lously winning their 28th consecu
tive game in the final seven
seconds. The Huskies, on the other
hand, have lost their last 11 confer
ence games, including last week
end’s game against the Ducks.
Saturday’s game will be the first
and only home game for the
Huskies in October.
"I don’t think (USC) is intimidat
ing, they are just flat out that good,”
Washington head coach Tyrone
Willingham said. “I don’t think you
are intimidated by them if you just
realize that they are a very good,
very balanced football team. They
play well at the quarterback posi
tion, they play well at the running
back position. It really doesn’t
matter which of the guys you have
in there, the Thunder and the
Lightning’ (running backs Reggie
Bush and LenDale White) are both
very talented.”

consecutive games, is seeking its
fourth victory of the season. The Car
dinal hasn’t won three straight games
since the 2001 season. However,
Stanford is on a roll right now after
defeating Arizona 20-16 last weekend.
Saturday’s game is Stanford’s
homecoming. For most teams home
field advantage is just that, an ad
vantage, but for the Cardinal it is
has been a weakness. The three
games Stanford has won have been
on the road, while the two losses
have been at home.
The Sun Devils are coming off a
bye week and two consecutive loss
es. Arizona State was ranked 14th
early in the season before losing to
USC and Oregon. Those losses re
sulted in disappearing from the
polls all together. Ranked or not,
however, the Sun Devils have a
strong offense led by quarterback
Sam Keller. Stanford’s game strate
gy should be to simply keep the Sun
Devils’ offensive off the field for as
long as possible.
“We just have to play well,” Stan
ford head coach Walt Harris said.
“One of these days, all three phases
(offense, defense, special teams)
will play lights out. So far, that has
n’t happened. Sometimes, it’s been
one side, sometimes the other. We
just have to be more consistent and
keep fighting. ”
Washington State (3-3,0-3) vs. Cali
fornia (5-2,2-2)
Once a highly-ranked team, Cali
fornia is slowly moving down the
rankings after back-to-back losses
against UCLA and Oregon State.
This weekend, No. 25 Cal hosts the
Washington State Cougars hoping to
boost their team confidence and get
back on a winning streak. Consider
ing that Oregon State was able to
defeat Cal last weekend, the
Cougars just might have a chance.
