Pac 10 Game of
the Week
Arizona State 24 ... UCLA 20
Arizona State overcame an early 10-0 deficit and a late
89-yard kickoff return for a score from Matt Slater to hold on for
the win. Rudy Carpenter connected with Kyle Williams for a nine-yard
score, Dimitri Nance ran for an 11-yard touchdown, and Keegan
Herring put the Sun Devils up for good with a 71-yard run midway
through the third quarter. After a Thomas Weber punt pinned the
Bruins deep with time for one last gasp try, a several lateral play
helped get the ball past midfield, but the desperation play
sputtered out and ASU pulled it out.

Player of
the Week
USC RB Chauncey
Washington ran 29 times for 220 yards and a touchdown in the win over Cal
Conference Roundup
Arizona
… ASU needs to be much, much sharper
against USC and Arizona to finish 11-1
and be in the Rose Bowl. Against UCLA,
Rudy Carpenter got hit way too often,
the running game was inconsistent and it
took way too long to put a punchless
team way. Carpenter won't be able to get
away with a 16 of 31-day against the
Bruins, but he needs help from an
offensive line that's had a nightmare of
a time in pass protection over the last
few weeks. UCLA's six sacks kept the
game close.

California … The rain can't be
blamed for the three turnovers against
USC, especially the two picks thrown by
Nate Longshore. Cal ran extremely well,
but couldn't handle the Trojan running
game and offensive line. There was
little pressure on John David Booty, few
plays at the point of attack, and not
enough game-changing moments on defense.
Now the Bears have lost four of five,
has seen their season crash and burn,
and now needs to beat Washington and
Stanford to get back up in the pecking
order. Step one to turning things around
is to get the receivers more involved.
Justin Forsett running is nice, but
DeSean Jackson has to get going.
Oregon … Didn’t Play This Week
Oregon State … Oregon State might
be bowl eligible, but it had to claw its
way against Washington to get there. The
good news was Alexis Serna was on,
hitting all five of his field goal
attempts. The bad news was that Serna
had five field goal attempts. OSU
could've closed out Washington early on,
but couldn't punch it in on several
drives and had to settle for three. To
win on the road at Washington State next
week and to have a shot against Oregon,
the Beavers will have to take advantage
of every opportunity.
Stanford … The Cardinal isn't
getting enough consistency on offense,
and isn't getting the one big play
needed on defense, to turn games around.
The offense moved relatively well on
Washington State, but this isn't a
high-octane offense that can get into
shootouts. Mark Bradford was tremendous
in a losing caught, catching 12 passes
for 141 yards, and proved once again
that he's a playmaker who needs the ball
thrown his way more often. Now things
get really interesting with Notre Dame
up in two weeks before the Cal showdown.
UCLA … UCLA isn't giving up
without a fight. Karl Dorrell is under
intense pressure, but to be fair, he
doesn't have a real quarterback to work
with and his top rushing options are
out. Even so, his Bruins battled hard in
the loss to Arizona State, mainly
because the defense kept the game alive.
Outside of allowing a big third quarter
touchdown run, the D did a solid overall
job. Now it'll have to generate even
more pressure and create more big plays
to have a shot at Oregon next week. With
Osaar Rasshan under center, there simply
isn't enough firepower to keep up with
the Ducks.
USC … For all the problems and
all the issues, USC is still 8-2 with a
chance for an at-large BCS bid still
alive. The Pac 10 title dream is still
there if Oregon crashes and burns, but
first, the Trojans have to take the next
two weeks to work on Arizona State for a
nasty road game coming off the tough
week at Cal. Chauncey Washington took
his turn as the star of the running
game, establishing himself worthy of
getting more work. The defense struggled
in the rain at Berkeley, but that's not
going to be a problem in Tempe.
Washington … Fortunately, Jake
Locker appears to be fine after
suffering a scary hit against Oregon
State. Now it's up to Carl Bonnell to
get the offense moving, and while he did
a good job coming up with big yards
against the Beavers, he struggled to
keep the chains moving. Louis Rankin and
the running game need to contribute
more, and more big plays from the
defense would be a big help to bust out
of an ugly season. With home games
against Cal and Washington State up
next, this is a vital two-week stretch
in the Ty Willingham era. He should be
safe with a young team that's expected
to come back strong next year, but his
team needs to show a sign of life.
Washington State … Alex Brink
bombed the Cougars back into bowl
contention with the win over Stanford,
but again, way too many drives ended
with field goals instead of touchdowns.
As good as Brink was, he struggled to
get the offense to come up with the one
big play needed here and there to make
the game a laugher. Now Wazzu needs to
keep the offensive production rolling
against Oregon State to make the Apple
Cup a battle for a 13th game.
