pleads guilty to possession
:OS ANGELES (AP) - Leading
UCLA rusher DeShaun Foster report-
edly pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
marijuana possession charge although
he says he's never smoked the drug and
wasa victim of circumstance.
*Bruins coach Bob Toledo told the
Las Angeles Times he believed the
. 2 incident was isolated and didn't
rMish the junior tailback.
" strongly believe what he is telling
we' Toledo said. "Ie was guilty of
having it. ie wasn't guilty of using it."
Foster said he has never tested posi-
tive for drugs at UCLA, which ran-
domly tests all athletes.
According to Ventura County court
cords, he paid a $250 fine.
WIn a story published yesterday, senior

Thousand Oaks on July 7, noticed a
parked car with its lights on.
The deputies discovered Foster
inside with the marijuana in plain view,
Kingi said.
S ichigin State announces
pas or gas in 2002
In a move that corresponds with the
trend in college football, Michigan
State announced plans Tuesday to
replace Spartan Stadium's artificial turf
with natural grass in time fr the 2002
season.
"The move was made to to satisfy cur-
& football players, as well as to quell
recruits' concerns of playing on artifi-
cial turf.
Michigan State administrators have
expressed concern over the costs of
maintaining a natural grass field in
light of environmental conditions. But
they are also enthused by the prowess
of their internationally renowned turf-.
management program.
'The grass will start growing next
'ing. In order for natural grass to
gLow properly, the rooting process
takes at least two years.

Big Ten not so
big: Mediocre
slate t1S week
By Seth Klempner
For the Daily
At the beginning of the college football season, seven out of
the I 1 Big Ien teams were in the top 25 in the AlP poll. Seven
weeks later, there are only four teams remaining in the top 25.
Here's a look at this weekend's notable games.
MINNESOTA (2-1, 4-2) AT Omo Si-:rr, (2-0, 5-0): John
Cooper's over-achieving Buckeyes are out for revenge against
every team that beat them last year and want to prove that they
should not be taken lightly. Ohio State took Wisconsin to the
woodshed last weekend for a 23-7 beating in Madison that was
worse than the score indicates. The Ohio State defense held
Michael Bennett to 106 yards, far
short of his 208-yard average and
recorded 1I1 sacks. Acrss the

offensive games from 'ellis Redmon

lii the end, however, the Golden Gophers will not be good
enough to overcome the motivated Buckeyes.
Ohio State 33, Minnesota 13
PuRDtU (2-1, 4-2) Al NoRTHwESTE;RN (5-1, 3-0): At this
point in the season, most people expected the Wildcats to have
more Tolstoy novels under their belts than wins.
Surprisingly, the Wildcats are 5-1 and undef'eated in the Big
Ten.
- Northwestern runs a no-huddle spread offense straight out of'
the SEC. Quarterback Zak Kustok has an arsenal of weapons
at his disposal, but Northwestern's best player is running back
Damien Anderson, who rushed for close to 300 yards against
Indiana last weekend. This does not mean that Northwestern
will have an easy time against the Boilermakers. Drew Brees
is coming ofT one of his best performances and biggest wins of
his career against Michigan last week and will be looking to
continue his success.
Do not look for Purdue's second half defense to show up.
This game will be a shootout and the last team with the ball
wins.
Northwestern 45, Purdue 42
WISCONSIN (0-3, 3-3) AT MICIGAN STxr: (0-2, 3-2):
Wisconsin came into this football season as defending Rose
Bowl champion, ranked in the top five in the nation and
expected to compete for a national title. That was before any-
one outside of Madison had heard of the "Shoe Box."
Perhaps the discounts were the secret to their success,

because since the suspensions Wisconsin has not won a game.
Even with all of their regulars back in uniform, Wisconsin suf-
fered a beating by Ohio State which left bruises on their
defense.
Luckily, Michigan State's defense in not as good as Ohio
State's, and M ichael Bennett will help Wisconsin move the ball
while continuing his path to a 1,000-yard season. The
Spartans' only hope on offense rests on the bulky shoulders of
sophomore running back TI. Duckett, who rushed fr close to
250 yards on 30 carries against Iowa.
The good news for these teams is that someone has to will.

VowA (1-1, 1-5)xA TIINoIs (0-2, 3-2): lowa snapped a 13-
game losing streak with a win last weekend against Michigan
State. Their previous win came last September against
Northern Illinois. It was also their first Big Tcn win since
October 1998. The I lawkeyes received two big plays late in the
gane to come from behind and defeat the Spartans and will
need si milar ILick to have a chance against Illinois.
Illinois is coming offa bye week and carries an 0-2 record in
the Big Telu. Illinois has not been able to get going since the
start of' the Big 'en season, suffering two fatal calls in a close
game against Michigan and a 44-10 loss to Minnesota.
The Fightiig 1 lini are among the growing number of teams
in the Big Ten who are adopting the spread offense and are
looking for quarterback Kurt Kittner to exploit a weak Iowa
defense.
