2-0 out of conference this week to raise the season record to 19-7-1.
Another decent showing by our pundits, although nobody got Arizona's
upset of UCLA, despite what they did to Miami the week before.  The
game summaries...

Washington 17, USC 10

A very defensive game with the Huskies scoring all 17 of their points
off of turnovers.  The Huskies forced five turnovers--3 interceptions
and two fumble recovories to forge the win.  USC was unable to
consistently move the ball in a sustained drive, but managed to go 
deep on the Huskies a number of times.  Their TD was scored on a 53
yard pass play that ws misplayed by Husky safety Shane Pahukoa who
should have intercepted the ball, but instead tipped it right to
Curtis Conway in the endzone.  Southern Cal's FG was also set up
by a 40 yard pass play.  For the Huskies' part, they were unable to
consistently move the ball on the ground against USC's very tough
run defense.  There were numerous times that the Huskies went  three
plays and out, especially in the second half.  Stars of the game had
to be USC's Estrus Crayton who had 105 yards on 25 carries, although
the longest rush was only 15 yards.  For the Huskies, LB's Dave Hoffman
and James Clifford were everywhere.  Closest to the actual score was
Marc Tremblay...

Washington State 51, Temple 10

Cougars Shaumbe Wright-Fair rolled through Owls defense for
114 yards on only 13 carries for 4 touchdowns.  Drew Bledsoe was
15/21 for 214 yards and a touchdown as the Cougars rolled up 558
yards of offense to the Owls 284.  Philip Bobo returned to action
after serving a one game suspension for shop lifting and caught
eight passes for 137 yards.  The Cougars move to 4-0 on the season
and should be 5-0 after they face Oregon State next week.  The 
Apple Cup game against U-Dub looks bigger and bigger...
Shaham Parrin and Greg Garbe both predicted 45-10 win for the 
Cougs to come closest in the Pundit's pool.

Arizona 23, UCLA 3

The Upset of the week in this game.  After holding the Hurricanes to
a single offensive touchdown last week, the Wilcats nearly shut out
the Bruins for the first time since 1971 on Saturday.  UCLA had a
first and goal with less than two minutes remaining in the game, but
was unable to push it over with three running plays from the one yard
line against a fired up Wildcat defense that really wanted the shutout
badly.  Coach Terry Donahue elected to go for the chip shot FG to
continue the streak of 242 (now 243) games without a shutout.  Wimp.
The Wildcats held the Bruins to just 36 yards on the ground in 34
attempts.  QB Rob Walker didn't fair much better through the air,
completing only 16/33 for 141 yards and three interceptions.  The
Bruin defense was also stiff, holding the Wildcats to 247 yards of
total offense, but lost the game of field position.  Nobody picked
the Wildcats to win in the Pundit's pool.

California 42, Oregon State 0.

The California defense showed Oregon State that it is quite possible
to defend the wishbone even if you only see it once a year.  The
Beavers were held to just 140 rushing yards on 51 carries, and only
through seven times, completing two for 24 yards.  California, meanwhile
rolled up 417 yards of total offense, evenly split through the air and
on the ground. Score this one for Mr. Parrin.

Oregon 30, Arizona State 20

Tommy Thompson, the Oregon placekicker hit 5/6 of his FG attempts
in putting away the Sun Devils in Eugene.  He did it even though he
was suffering from a bruise on his toe and his preferred kicking style
is barefoot.  The Sun Devils were penalized 13 times for 122 yards
including four personal foul calls that assisted scoring drives for the
Ducks.  Sean Burwell rushed 25 times for 115 yards for the Ducks while
O'Neil hit 14/26 passes for 209 yards through the air to lead the 
Ducks to victory. Shaham Parrin was closest to the margin, while Greg
Garbe and Yong-Qin Lu were closer on absolute score.

Stanford 33, Notre Dame 16

After he was hired, Stanford coach Bill Walsh was asked how well he 
thought his team would do this year.  He replied that he thought that
the Cardinal would win 8-9 games and beat a couple of teams that they
were supposed to lose to.  When he was asked to elaborate, he replied:
"Notre Dame."  He proved to be a prophet on Saturday as the Farm Boys
ran up 33 unanswered points to erase an early 16 point Notre Dame lead.
Glyn Milburn rushed for 119 yards on 20 carries and Stenstrom threw
for 215 yards hitting 21/32 for two touchdowns.  Four fumbles and one
interception helped seal the fate of the Irish.  Marc Tremblay and I
were the only ones to correctly predict the Stanford victory, making
me 1-1 on upset specials.
