Ducks, Wildcats jockey for Pac-10 lead

Every war has its decisive battle. World War II had Normandy. The Civil War had Gettysburg.

The UA football team will face No. 7 Oregon Saturday in a game that could have massive implications in the Pacific 10 Conference and the national balance of power in the NCAA.

Should the No. 21 Wildcats win, they would be in the driver's seat for the Pac-10 title and their first-ever Rose Bowl berth. If the Ducks prevail, they could likely crack the nation's top-five rankings.

Either way, Saturday night's game in Eugene, Ore. will likely be the turning point of the season for both teams.
