Pac-10 Roundup
by Tom Sabiel | Freelance Writer |
Key Stat: Last week, Cal did a good job stopping the run, but allowed 321 yards passing and had zero sacks.
Toledo @ Arizona (9/6, 6:00 PM)
Toledo is a relative unknown, having not played a game yet. The Rockets head to Arizona, where Willie Tuitama and the Wildcats obliterated Idaho 70-0 last week. The running game shined for Arizona, led by Nicholas Grigsby and his 169 yards and two TDs. Willie Tuitama threw a near perfect game, completing 17-21 passes for 179 yards and three scores. He managed the game well, having zero turnovers.
Key Stat: Last week, Arizona's defense held Idaho to only 112 yards.
Stanford @ No. 15 Arizona State (9/6, 7:00 PM, FSN AZ)
Both teams head into this game with great confidence after each posting victories last week. Stanford showed a solid running game as Toby Gerhart led the offense with 147 yards and two scores. Do not expect to see the same success against a Sun Devil team led by QB Rudy Carpenter. Last week, Carpenter threw for 388 yards and a TD against a sub-par Northern Arizona. Receiver Mike Jones looked stellar, finding enough gaps in the defense to accumulate 162 yards.
Key Stat: In the last two meetings, both Carpenter starts, ASU has outscored Stanford 79-6.
