Pac 10 Game of
the Week
Arizona 34 ... Oregon 24
Arizona jumped out to a 31-14 halftime lead on Mike Thomas
touchdown catches from 34 and 46 yards out along with an Antoine
Cason 42-yard interception return or a touchdown and a 56-yard punt
return for a score. Oregon scored on its first drive on a 39-yard
Dennis Dixon touchdown run, but he later injured his knee and was
lost for the rest of the game. With Brady Leaf under center for the
Ducks, Arizona blitzed time and again and forced plenty of mistakes,
but Oregon got within seven points late in the fourth on a 17-play,
71-yard drive finishing up with a two-yard Andre Crenshaw touchdown
run. Arizona was able to all but put the game away by answering with
a 46-yard field goal, but needed help from the replay booth as QB
Willie Tuitama was ruled down before he fumbled the ball away to
Oregon. Oregon outgained Arizona 463 yards to 322.

Conference Roundup
Arizona
… Arizona's gameplan against Oregon
appeared to do a 180-degree change after
Dennis Dixon got hurt. Led by a
brilliant day from Spencer Larsen and a
great push from Yaniv Barnett, the
defense got to Brady Leaf early and
often and forced several misfired and
several near-interceptions. However,
when things got tight, and the Wildcat
offense started to sputter, the defense
started to have problems with the Duck
power game. Arizona took its foot off
the gas and played not to lose in the
second half, and almost lost. Of course,
the Cats won, and now has a chance to
become bowl eligible with a win at
Arizona State in two weeks.
Arizona State … Didn’t Play This
Week
California … What the heck is
going on? Cal lost to Washington by
getting pounded on up the middle over
and over and over again. The defensive
tackles got erased but the UW interior
line, and the supposedly high-powered
Bear offense never got on track. Is the
team really this bad, or is it a letdown
factor with the season going down the
tubes? At the moment it's a little of
both, but a win over Stanford would put
a Band-Aid on the situation and ensure a
decent bowl since there aren't going to
be many eligible Pac 10 teams.
Oregon … Oregon fans might point
to the loss of Dennis Dixon early
against Arizona as the main reason for
the loss, but a national championship
team finds a way to get around the
landmine. Give credit to the defense for
stepping up in the second half and
keeping the game alive until the offense
could get something going, and also
credit the O line, and RB Jonathan
Stewart, for pounding their way to
within a score late. All is not
completely lost. If the Ducks can beat
UCLA and Oregon State, they still might
be off to the BCS.
Oregon State … The Beavers are
quietly putting together a strong second
half of the year with five wins in the
last six games. They were able to force
several Washington State mistakes, got
touchdowns instead of field goals,
unlike last week against Washington, and
now is assured of a bowl game going into
the Civil War against Oregon. Having a
healthy Yvenson Bernard is vital, but he
tweaked a knee against the Cougars. Lyle
Moevao has been fine stepping in at
quarterback, but he's not ready to carry
the entire attack.
Stanford … Didn’t Play This Week
UCLA … Didn’t Play This Week
USC … Didn’t Play This Week
Washington … The Huskies did a
tremendous job of overcoming the loss of
Jake Locker by plowing their way over
California. This was a manhood game with
UW beating the Bears up on the interior
and controlling the game in the second
half. While it's obviously not a plus to
lose Locker, everyone else stepped up
their play now that more were able to
get involved. Yes, Washington has other
players who can produce. The season
might have been dying, but with a win in
the Apple Cup against Washington State,
and potentially ruining Hawaii's dream
year, could end things on a huge high
note with a world of excitement for
2008.
Washington State … A week after
chucking it around for 449 yards in a
big win over Stanford, Alex Brink
couldn't stop giving the ball to Beavers
with interception after interception
killing any hope for a win over Oregon
State. He was under a little bit of
pressure, but it's not like OSU was
hitting him on every play. The running
game failed to pick up the slack even
though Kevin McCall ran well in
stretches. Now the bowl dream is gone
and head coach Bill Doba might have
coached his final home game for the
Cougars.
