OCTOBER 6–8 T
ROAD TO THE
wenty-second-ranked Arizona State remained atop the Pac-12 South with a 35–14 victory at Utah. But UCLA wasn’t about to concede the division: The Bruins stayed
just a game behind by rallying to beat Washington State 28–25 at the Rose Bowl. (Idle USC also was 2–1 in Pac-12 play, but the Trojans were ineligible for the Conference title.) UCLA mounted its come-
back despite losing starting quarterback Richard Brehaut to a season-ending broken leg suffered in the second quarter. Backup Kevin Prince, who began the season as a starter before losing his job to Brehaut, tossed two touchdown passes in the fourth period. The game-winner was a seven-yard strike to Shaquelle Evans with 3:26 left. Cornerback Andrew Abbott sealed the outcome when he intercepted a pass near midfi eld on the Cougars’ fi nal possession. Meanwhile, in Salt Lake City, Utah led Ari-
zona State 14–10 midway through the third quarter. Then, “the wheels came off,” said Utes head coach Kyle Whittingham. The Sun Devils scored 18 points in a span of three minutes and 43 seconds to take control. The Utes turned over the ball on three consecutive possessions in the second half, and fi ve times in all.

Oregon State broke into the win column in week six, beating visiting Arizona 37–27 with the help of two players who earned weekly Conference awards. Safety Lance Mitchell was named the Defensive Player of the Week after intercepting a pass and recovering a fumble; fullback Clayton York earned special-teams honors after blocking a punt and returning it for a touchdown. Oregon running back LaMi- chael James was the Offensive Player of the Week for his big night in the Ducks’ victory over California.
Andrew Abbott AROUND THE PAC-12
Three teams were still undefeated in North Division play: Stanford, Oregon, and idle Wash- ington. . . . The seventh-ranked Cardinal buried Colorado 48–7 behind another amazingly effi cient performance from quarterback Andrew Luck.

LaMichael James ran for 239 yards before leaving the game early in the fourth quarter with a dislocated elbow.
