You could argue that BYlTs 4 loss to Stanford in Week 4 was the turning point of what would become a season of frustration and missed opportunities. With No. 1 USC looming next on the schedule, tonight's rematch (8 p.m., KUTV) could also play a pivotal role in the team's progress. Stanford running back J.R. Lemon caUed it a "must-win- " game for his team. BYU coach Gary Crowton said he was working hard to keep his team focused on Stanford after last week's upset of Notre Dame.

It kind of reminds me of 2001 going against Cal on the road. That's kind of the approach I'm taking." In 2001, BYU destroyed what was supposed to be a decent Cal team 44-1-6 in Berkeley. You want some irony? That Cal team was coached by Tom Holmoe, now a BYU senior associate athletic director and, since the recent athletic department shakeup, Crow-ton- 's immediate supervisor. Last season, BYU was coming off of a big 10-- 7 road victory over New Mexico.

Former San Diego State RB Larry Ned holds the record at 2,800 yards from 1999-200Texas Tech, known for its offense, didn't make any friends against Southern Methodist last weekend. An attempt to add another touchdown in the final seconds of a 27-1-3 win steamed SMlTs coach and sparked some fighting between the squads after the game. "You wfll get your butt kicked when you get into the Big 12," SMlTs Phil Bennett shouted at Tech's Mike Leach, according to the Dallas Morning News. Bennett should know, as he was a long-tim- e assistant for Big 12 member Kansas State. But the Red Raiders arent facing a Big 12 team this week, either. And New Mexico won't be able to get over giving up a big fourth-quartlead to Washington State last week. Moore gets the rushing record, just not the win.

UNLV could do little wrong in the Madison rain. Jamaal Brimmer was the key. He had a gameof a lifetime: 11 tackles, two sacks, a pair of interceptions and a fumble recovery he returned 55 yards for a touchdown. Brimmer's still there. That type of performance wont be.
