USC tries to extend Pac-10-record winning streak at Arizona

Sep 19, 2006 - 8:46 PM No. 3 USC (2-0) at Arizona (2-1), 8:00 pm EDT

TUCSON, Arizona (Ticker) - Third-ranked Southern California looks to extend several stellar winning streaks Saturday when it visits Arizona in the Pac-10 Conference opener for both teams.

The Trojans (2-0) have won a Pac-10-record 23 consecutive league contests, a school-record 16 straight road games and a league record-tying 1l road games in succession.

Coming off a bye, USC posted its 47th victory in 49 games with a 28-10 home victory over then-No. 19 Nebraska last weekend.

John David Booty threw three touchdowns, but the Trojans were even more impressive on defense, limiting the Cornhuskers to just 68 yards on the ground and 211 overall.

Dwayne Jarrett caught two of Booty's TDs to give him 31 in his career, a school record for a wide receiver. A first team All-American as a sophomore last year, Jarrett - who had 11 catches for 136 yards - will tie a 26-year-old Pac-10 record with his next TD catch.

Arizona (2-1) also won its last game by a score of 28-10, defeating Division I-AA Stephen F. Austin. Junior walk-on Chris Jennings ran for 201 yards and two touchdowns in the triumph.

Starting in place of Willie Tuitama (concussion), Adam Austin led the Wildcats to a pair of first-half scoring drives. Tuitama, who had been hit in the head against Louisiana State the previous week, came on in the fourth quarter and did likewise.

USC, which is visiting Tucson for the first time since 2003, has won the last four meetings.
