Pac 10 Game of the Week

Oregon State 27 … Arizona State 25
Arizona State rallied with a three-yard Andrew Pettes touchdown catch with just 21 seconds to play, but Rudy Carpenter’s two-point conversion attempt was picked off and Oregon State held on. Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 133 yards, but it was Sean Canfield who came through big, stepping in for an injured Lyle Moevao, with two short touchdown passes to Shane Morales and Sammie Stroughter. But Canfield also threw an interception for a score, with Troy Nolan giving ASU a 13-7 lead with a 41-yard pick six. The Beavers couldn’t pull away, but they got up eight with a 41-yard Justin Kahut field goal late, only to have Carpenter and the Sun Devils drive to make it close. ASU committed 10 penalties to OSU’s two.

Pac 10 Player of the Week
Stanford RB Toby Gerhart ran 22 times for 132 yards and four touchdowns in the first half of the win over Washington State

Conference
Roundup

Arizona … Didn’t Play This Week
Arizona State … This was supposed to be the week the Sun Devils turned things around, and with a good late run against Oregon State, the chances were there. But penalties were a problem and pass protection was a big issue; Rudy Carpenter didn’t get enough time to work. Now come the breathers against Washington and Washington State. If the Sun Devils can beat UCLA, the showdown against Arizona might be for a bowl.
California … Cal made a ton of errors, Oregon made more, and Oregon’s proved to be more costly. With five turnovers, nine penalties, and a slew of mistakes, Cal had a hard time putting the game away, but the defense was able to keep the Duck running game in check and the secondary didn’t let much happen through the air. Now it’ll be interesting to see how the Bear quarterback situation plays out. Kevin Riley will still be the starter if healthy, but Nate Longshore played well enough to get the call against USC. As long as Jahvid Best is healthy, the Bears have a shot.
Oregon … Oregon couldn’t seem to handle the lousy weather conditions against Cal. There were too many slips, too many mistakes, and no passing game whatsoever when the Bears were able to slow down the running game. Jeremy Masoli was bad throwing the ball, but Justin Roper was worse. Now that the Pac 10 title is out of reach, it’s about trying to secure the No. 3 spot, or maybe even the two, by winning out. There can’t be a let down against Stanford.  
Oregon State … Jacquizz Rodgers continues to be fantastic and the offense moved the ball on Arizona State, but the offense had a hard time putting the game away and the pass rush couldn’t stop Rudy Carpenter on the final drive. Even so, this was still a decent win with a trip to UCLA up next. Oregon State controls its own destiny, but it needs Lyle Moevao back under center. He has a banged up shoulder and while Sean Canfield isn’t bad, he had a great game against ASU, he’s not Moevao.
Stanford … Stanford is one game away from being bowl eligible. After battling in game after game for over a month, the team got its first true breather with the win over Washington State. The final three games aren’t going to be a breeze with trips to Oregon and California along with a home date against USC. However, if Toby Gerhart can get hot, and if there can be more from the passing game that didn’t have to show up against Wazzu, Stanford should be able to play with anyone. This has been a special year, and the team appears to believe it can win any game.
UCLA … Didn’t Play This Week
USC  … The Trojans are getting more than their share of light scrimmages, but now the truly impressive wins have to start coming. Blowing away Washington and Washington State mean nothing; it’s time to beat up California and show the world that all the great numbers being put up by the defense might be for real. Mark Sanchez, after being maligned a bit after the Arizona win, was almost perfect against Washington, but he got ten days to throw. Seven players ran the ball, the backups continue to see key minutes.
Washington … Washington never had a chance to keep it remotely close against USC. Now that the Ty Willingham era is close to over, it’s about developing the talent for the next head coach. This won’t stay the nation’s only winless team, the Huskies are better than Washington State, but there are several job interviews on the line. The new head man will go on what he’s seeing over the final few games, and those players who step up and fight will likely get a leg up.
Washington State … Four early turnovers, and five overall, and a blocked field goal began the demise of Washington State in yet another abysmal loss. Washington State isn’t finding any silver linings in this abysmal season, even through Kevin Lopina completed 16-of-28 passes. After losing the last three games by a total score of 193 to 13, and with Arizona up next, the Cougars need to find something positive, and fast.
