The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 29, 2000 - 13 Duck sauce, anyone.? Huskies ready to mush By Benjamin Singer 1111V Sports Waiter This week'S marque matchup will be at the Big House, but that doesn't mean ihit there won't be a few interesting games tomorrow. After your postgame tailgating, check out these matchups. No. 6 WASHINGTON (3-0) xr No. 25 OREGON (3-1, 1-0): Do unto others as others would do unto you. Oregon made '.UCLA pay last week via the golden yule. The Ducks spoiled the spoilers after the Bruins had upset the likes of Alabama and Michigan. Oregon will hope to ride its 17-game winning streak at Autzen Stadium. Though Washington has marched for- ward to a 3-0 start, quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo has had as hard a time throwing the ball as the rest of us have had with saying his name. The eight-syllable quarterback has been picked off five times while only throw- ing three touchdowns. Tuiasosopo does- n't quite have the nose for the endzone that a scrambler should - with only two rushing scores -- putting the pres- sure on the Washington defense. It has done its part so far, and it will again. Washington 27, Oregon 21 No. 5 KANSAS Sr,,ii. (4-0) Avi CoLoRADo (0-3): Kansas State is in a lose-lose situation, even if they win. Clearly, a loss puts a damper on its ibtinal title hopes. But even putting N'-an 0-3 team this weekend may not prove much. All they've been doing so hr is beating up on the dregs of the NCAA. The worst part for the Wildcats is that a loss it Colorado is entirely possible. The Buffaloes dropped out of the Top 25, because of three losses by a coin- bined 10 points. With preseason Heisman candidate David Allen sidelined since the first game, the team, and the ball, is in the hands of quarterback Jonathan Beasley. Beaslev is a threateto run, which seems to be a prerequisite for NCAA quarter- backs these days. He leads the team with eight rushing scores, five coming last week. Colorado has been having running back issues as well. After Cortlen Johnson got hurt in the Buffaloes' first game, Marcus Houston stepped in, aver- aging 5.0 yards per carry, but with only one touchdown. With Houston injuring himself last week, it's tihe for Cortlen Johnson to take his job back as he con- veniently recovered for this week. He can't help Colorado recover from its poor start, however. Kansas State 35, Colorado 24 No. 23 SOUTH CAROINA (4-0, 2-0) ATAtABAAMA (1-3, 1-1): Finally, the luck of the Irish has found Lou Holtz. After a winless season last year, the Gamecocks snapped the nation's longest losing streak. South Carolina has wins over ranked teams in Georgia and Mississippi State. Meanwhile, the Tide has turned in Tuscaloosa. The preseason No. 3 team was probably looking past this date with the Gamecocks at the start of the season. Now, they may not get past it at all. As goes Freddie Millons, so goes the Tide. He is averaging fewer than 10 yards per his 14 catches without a touchdown. South Carolina has quarterback issues after Phil Petty was injured last week. But it was backup Erik Kimery who threw the game-winning touch- down in his first play from scrimmage. Besides, the Gamecock's main attack is running back Derrick Watson, who averages 6.2 yards per carry and has seven touchdowns. No one would have picked South Carolina four weeks ago, but now it seems feasible. South Carolina 21, Alabama 17 (bE 1 AIrbig-tan Made STAFF PICKS WEEK 4 SELECTIONS ALL PICKS MADE AGAINST THE SPREAD.
