Some quick-hit stuff around the Pac-10. Most teams are into regular-season mode:
ARIZONA: Zendejas on shaky footing as Wildcats’ starting placekicker amid recent struggles.
ARIZONA STATE: Because of injuries, Osweiler, a true freshman from Montana and former Gonzaga men’s basketball recruit, will serve as No. 2 quarterback behind Sullivan.
CALIFORNIA: Utah product Sofele is the only true freshman guaranteed playing time. He’ll play receiver, and special teams.
OREGON: Receiver rotation will be solidified after weekend workouts.
OREGON STATE: It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Jacquizz, the reigning Pac-10 offensive MVP, could play some quarterback.
STANFORD: Earliest commitment in program history, freshman linebacker spent extra time recruiting others.
UCLA: After Friday scrimmage, coach Neuheisel declares Bruins offense unfit for game-day action.
USC: Lost in quarterback carousel is the quiet emergence of McKnight into the starting tailback role.
WASHINGTON STATE: A decision on the starting quarterback between Lopina and Lobbestael should come Tuesday.
