Week 1 Pac-10 Rankings

#2 Arizona Wildcats 1-0

Arizona's defense was very impressive in a 41-2 victory at Toledo. QB Nick Foles proved that he could connect with his receivers down the field and the Wildcats passing game would not be limited to only stretching the field horizontally.

#3 USC Trojans 1-0

The Trojans won their first game in the Lane Kiffin era 49-36. Hawaii plays a lot of four WR sets, but USC should be very concerned with the 459 passing yards they gave up. Matt Barkley finished the game 18/23 for 257 yards and 5 TD's. In his first start at RB, Marc Tyler rushed for 154 yards and averaged 9.1 YPC. USC faces Virginia at home this week.

#5 Stanford Cardinal 1-0

The Cardinal beat Sacramento State 52-17. QB Andrew Luck was on fire and went 17/23 for 316 yards and 4 TD's. Stanford begins Pac-10 play this week when they travel to UCLA and the Bruins will be a tremendous step up in talent from the Sacramento State team the Cardinal faced last week.

#6 California Golden Bears 1-0

#8 Washington Huskies 0-1

UW had a chance to win this game on their final drive, but a pass from Jake Locker fell incomplete on 4th down. BYU defeated Washington 23-17. When Steve Sarkisian reviews the film of this game he will see that his team had a lot of opportunities to make big plays that they did not capitalize on.
