Cal looks to roll past Arizona in Pac-10 opener

Sep 22, 2007 - 12:37 PM Arizona (1-2) at No. 6 California (3-0) 6:00 pm EDT

BERKELEY, California (Ticker) -- California coach Jeff Tedford shouldn't have to remind his squad about looking past Arizona.

The sixth-ranked Golden Bears look to avenge an upset defeat when they host the Wildcats on Saturday in their Pac-10 Conference opener.

Last year, Cal was ranked eighth when it was stunned by Arizona in Tucson, 24-20. The Bears appeared to be looking past the Wildcats to their game against Southern California the following week, which they also lost.

Cal, which visits No. 13 Oregon next week, is coming off a 42-12 rout of Louisiana Tech here. Justin Forsett rushed for 152 yards and a career-high three touchdowns for the Bears, who are 3-0 this season.

Arizona slipped to 1-2 on the campaign with a 29-27 loss to New Mexico last weekend.

Willie Tuitama threw for 446 yards and three touchdowns but was intercepted in the final two minutes for the Wildcats, who limited the Lobos to 94 rushing yards but gained just 38 on 21 carries.

The all-time series is tied, 12-12-2.
