Arizona State vs Colorado
Colorado lost to 1-AA Montana State and has scored 20 points in two games this season. The Sun Devils are 8th nationally in scoring, the Buffs are 109th. I could keep rattling off stats, and talking matchups, but there’s no reason.

Arizona vs Stephen F. Austin
This week, Willie Tuitama and Arizona should get back on track. That is usually what happens when you play a 1-AA team (unless you’re Colorado). Arizona has been unimpressive in both of their games this season. They escaped with a win against BYU and got hammered by LSU last week. Coming into this season, most people were expecting them to be competitive in the Pac-10. The way they have started, it doesn’t look like they’ll be getting more than two wins in conference play again. This game should say a lot about whether Arizona is going to come to play for the rest of the season.

Washington State vs Baylor
The Bears best player is a punter.

Washington vs Fresno State
The Huskies and the Bulldogs both put up good fights last week. Fresno State’s was expected, Washington’s wasn’t. Dwayne Wright ripped apart Oregon’s run defense last week, and I don’t think that Washington’s is going to be able to stop him this Saturday. So, UW will have to go after Tim Brandstater. Washington kept it close with Oklahoma because they forced turnovers. If they can get Brandstater to make some mistakes, Rankin and James will get the chance to really wear down Fresno's defense. But like all UW games this year, this one depends on Stanback. Is he going to play like a predator or play like prey?

as for the UW/Fresno game, i think it's all about stopping the pass.
the dawgs did a good job with adrian peterson last week and dwayne wright isn't the same heisman candidate as peterson.
but the huskies have made two mediocre qbs look like joe montana. this can't keep happening.
if they don't get to brandstater and force some turnovers, they're looking at 1-2 and a date with a pretty good ucla team.
