LEIGH-ANNE BROWN PHOTOGRAPHER	Another trying game for the Wildcats. So far were 3-0 against loser teams, and who are we up against this week? Oh San Diego State! Sweet. Well guys, just give it your best. Ill be on the edge of my seat for this one. Arizona 27 San Diego State 3	The only hurricane thats going to be reaking havoc on UCLA this weekend is going to be Georges, if it hits. No storming for Miami though, they just blow. Poor Canes, their game went to Joe Robbie Stadium with J.J. UCLA 34 Miami 10	The Gators are back and theyre pissed. Too bad for Kentucky. High scores. I dont think Florida will cover. Blah, Blah, Blah. You heard it here. Florida 60 Kentucky 45	GO BIG RED!!! Im not gonna lie, Wash is an OK team, but not as good as my HUSKERS!!! Welcome back Newcombe and Evans. Monte Cristo is the hottest guy in college ball, Ill miss you Monte, youre so money! Nebraska 45 Washington 31	OK, FSU has 10 guys out due to intestinal illness. Crappy for FSU, so Im gonna say USCs gonna flush em. Not the popular pick, but then again, no one had Tennessee winning and K. State covering but me! HA!!! USC 14 FSU 10
CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS REPORTER	The Wildcats are coming off only five days rest while the Aztecs had 12. Wont matter as the UA defense will feast on the Aztecs weak offense while Yusuf and the boys stop SDSUs tough D-line. Arizona 24 San Diego St. 6	If Hurricane Georges doesnt wipe this one out, watch Cade McNown raise his Heisman hype another level as he whups up on the shell of the team Miami once was. UCLA 38 Miami 27	Think the Gators are pissed about losing at Tennessee last week? Think Tim Couch is overrated? Think hes gonna get pounded by Floridas vicious defense? Yes to all three. Florida 45 Kentucky 20	Brock Huard could have a field day with the Huskers weak secondary, but Nebraska at home is just too tough for the inexperienced Huskies. And yes, Professor Patten, I hated saying that. Nebraska 31 Washington 17	Everyone else seems to be smelling upset. The only thing upset in this game is the Seminole team. Theyre still smarting from NC State and are looking to take it out on an overrated Trojan squad. FSU 34 USC 14
ARLIE RAHN SPORTS REPORTER	The Aztecs will be without their starting quarterback, which is bad news when facing Arizonas defense. On the other side, Canidate and Northcutt should give SDSU fits. Also, look for a big day from McAlister on returns. Arizona 31 San Diego State 14	Miami couldnt beat Virginia Tech last week, so I dont see any Hurricane predictions against UCLA. The Bruin defense has been tough, but Miami should score some points. But in the end, it will be too much McNown. UCLA 35 Miami 24	After having trouble with lowly Indiana last week, Kentucky will have a rude awakening facing a motivated Florida team coming off a tough loss. Lets just say I wouldnt want to be Tim Couch this weekend. Florida 42 Kentucky 14	Nebraska is not the second best team in the nation. Still, the Huskers are better than Washington in Lincoln, but not by much. Nebraska 21 Washington 17	FSU had 10 starters struck will illness this week and will be hurting against a good USC team. Look for Trojan CB Daylon McCutcheon to limit WR Peter Warricks touches. R. Jay Sowell will help USC pull off the stunner in Tallahasee. USC 17 FSU 14
KATE LONGWORTH SPORTS REPORTER	I think the Aztecs will provide a game; they see us as the out-of-state rival. My money man for this week falls to Dennis Northcutt. He was AZ hot last year for this game, and I see him pulling through again. Arizona 28, San Diego State 14	Im going to have to side with my homeboys in LA for this one. Im seeing another W coming at McNown. Hes defintely one of my favs for the Heisman trophy, after McAlister and Jenkins, naturally. UCLA 34 Miami 21	The Gators will keep the scoring conditions in The Swamp high. But Couch and company will come out strong and hard. However, Im still bitter over the NCAA outcome last year in b-ball, so no matter the sport Im voting the Wildcats down. Florida 49 Kentucky 25	Second in the nation, and first in game. This weekend the Cornhuskers have the rush and run formula down, pretty much shutting down Huards passing skills. Nebraska 28 Washington 21	Yikes, with 10 guys ill and the bench team in, I dont know, this could be a toughie! Looks like the Trojans will bring it home. But not being much of an SC fan, Im seeing some struggling against the Warrik/Minor duo. USC 14 FSU 10
