Football Notebook
Another record
for Cade
Cade McNown passed for 233 yards and rushed for 25 yards to
further stake his claim as the Pac-10’s greatest quarterback. His
12-yard pass to Brad Melsby in the third quarter put him ahead of
Steve Stenstrom as the Pac-10’s all-time career leader in total
offense. McNown currently has 10,231 total yards and counting.
Kickoff return among longest
The 81-yard kickoff return by Ryan Roques in the first quarter
was UCLA’s longest since Oct. 25, 1980, when JoJo Townsell ran back
a kickoff 100 yards for a score. Roques 77-yard punt return for a
touchdown was UCLA’s first since Paul Guidry’s 70-yarder in
1995.
Roques’ yardage
rivals Huskies’
In the first half, Roques’ return yardage equaled the total
offense of the Washington Huskies.
Both Roques and the Huskies amassed 208 yards before
intermission.
"I just love getting the ball in my hand," said Roques. "It’s a
big rush."
Rush defense
all awash
The Huskies hadn’t had a 100-yard rusher all season. Against the
Bruins, they didn’t have one 100-yard rusher, they had two.
Freshman Willie Hurst had 114 yards and fellow freshman Braxton
Cleman totaled 100 yards. Washington’s 248 rushing yards was a
season-high.
Sailer nails
five field goals
Chris Sailer’s five field goals equaled his total through the
first eight games. Sailer entered the game with five field goals
made in 13 tries. He nailed kicks of 27, 25, 25, 47 and 29 yards.
The school record is six field goals, set by John Lee in 1984
against San Diego State.
UCLA maintains ranking in polls
UCLA retained its No. 3 ranking in the AP and ESPN/USA Today
Polls. Tennessee and Kansas State, who both received big scares
Saturday, remain ahead of the Bruins. Kansas State rallied in the
fourth quarter to beat Nebraska 40-30, and Tennessee miraculously
pulled out a 28-24 victory in the final minute against Arkansas.
The BCS poll will be released today.
