I was kind of hoping that Eric Arendts would continue to do this again 
this year, but since I didn't see his preview for last week and I have
an hour on my hands, here goes nothing...

Washington 31, ARIZONA ST 7.

The Huskies thoroughly beat the Sun Devils in Arizona on the scoreboard,
but didn't dominate the statistics nearly as much as they did last year.  Key
Husky was sophomore tailback Napolean Kaufmann who riddled the ASU defense
for runs of 63 and 70 yards on his first two carries from scrimmage. Kaufmann
had 159 yards on 6 (yes six) carries.  He also returned three punts a total
of 66 yards and had a 25 yard kickoff return for a total of 250 all purpose
yards with only ten touches of the ball.  Kaufmann got in to the game earlier
than expected since Sr tailback Beno Bryant has been slowed by injury and did
not play on offense although he did return a few punts.  The Huskies also had
three TD's called back on penalties (although they did score again after the
penalty on one drive) so the score could have been even less close.

Arizona State was not expecting much from quarterback Troy Rauer who was the 
4th string QB two weeks ago until two suspensions and one defection thrust
him into the starting roll.  He was not very impressive, throwing for only
a few completions and two interceptions, but he didn't need to be.  Mario
Bates, brother of former Arizona star and bronze medal in the 200 M in
the 1992 Olympics Micheal Bates ran roughshod over a lackluster Husky defense
for over 200 yds.  Last year the Huskies only gave up an average of 67.
Bates made nearly all of his yardage off tackle and on sweeps, against
the conventional wisdom that you can't outspeed the Husky linebacking corps
outside.  The Sun Devils were also killed with penalties--most of them
simple false starts.  I remeber that they had at least 17 at one point
in the game.  All in all, this game defines the word ugly run defense.

WASHINGTON ST 25, Montana 13.

Washington State QB and potential Heisman candidate Drew Bledsoe broke all
kinds of records in Pullman Saturday--completions (37), attempts (66),
and yards (413).  All this, yet the Cougars only beat Division I-AA rival
Montana by 12?  The answer was turnovers--3 fumbles and 4 interceptions.
Coach Mike Price credited his defense with the victory saying "They played
with their backs up against a wall the whole game."  WSU also had trouble
rushing the ball, with only 96 yards on 38 carries.

CALIFORNIA 46, San Jose St 16.

Russel White had 216 yards on only 19 carries to lead the Bears past the
Spartans in Berkeley.  Dave Barr, starting his first game as the Cal QB
was 18-27 with 3 TD's and no INT's for 175 yards to help keep the air
game alive.  (I was an undergraduate at Idaho when Gilbertson was there...
get used to seeing the ball in the air a lot). The win moved Gilbertson
into the win column first in his inaugral game as Cal's head man.

SAN DIEGO STATE 31, Southern Cal 31.

Kiss your sister.  Again.  The Aztecs and Heisman candidate Marshall Faulk
ran all over a pourous Trjan defense in what was really a whale of a ball
game.  Faulk carried 27 times for 220 yards.  The good news for the 
Condoms is that their offense under QB Rob Johnson looked fairly inspired.
Johnson was 20-33 for 278 yards and four TD's.

Kansas 49, OREGON STATE 20.

Not nearly as close as the score indicated as Kansas was ahead 49-7 until
the Beavers scored two garbage TD's.  Jayhawk QB Chip Hilleary was 19-30
for 286 yards and three TD's through the air and led the team with 61
yards on eight carries and another TD on the ground to lead the J-hawks
past perrenial Pac Ten cellar dweller Oregon State.  Good players for
the Beavs?  Tee hee hee.....good joke.

Hawaii 24, OREGON 21.

Ivin Jasper was replaced by Mike Carter the starting slotback as the 
Rainbow QB and led the 'Bows to the game winning TD.  Jasper suffered
a bruised right leg in the third quarter.  Oregon's Danny O'Neil
passed for a career high 312 yards hitting 26-40  for one TD, but the
Ducks came up short after fumbling away the snap at the Rainbow 19
yard line with 2:37 to play.  The Rainbows then ran out the clock.
The Ducks were badly hurt by five turnovers (1 int, 4 fum).

Utah St. at ARIZONA

The paper had no report on this game which was played late last night.
If I remeber correctly from watching the reports on TV (very dubious
at best)--the Wildcats had a very large lead (49-7 or so) late in
the game.  Sorry Aggie fans--you'll have to live with just the TAMU
victory (unless NMSU, OkSU, or one of them other Aggies won).
