SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Oregon State Beaver fans are focused on the Rose Bowl, but coach Mike Riley wants his team to pay attention to Washington State.
The 20th-ranked Beavers are third in the Pac-10 and have already beaten second-place Arizona.
They will close the season at Oregon on Dec. 3, with the game possibly deciding the Pac-10 champion and representative in the Rose Bowl.
But first they've got to get past a Washington State team that has yet to win a conference game.
Riley says he doesn't want Saturday to be the Cougars' breakthrough game.
That seems unlikely because Oregon State's Jacquizz and James Rodgers and quarterback Sean Canfield will probably be too explosive for Washington State's porous defense.
Canfield leads the Pac-10 in passing, James Rodgers leads the conference in all-purpose yards and Jacquizz Rodgers has rushed for 1,148 yards.
