Leader of the Ducks

No. 2 Oregon plays at Arizona tonight (9 pm., ESPN) and looks to move into a tie with No. 8 Arizona State for first place in the Pac-10 conference.

Oregon (8-1 overall, 5-1 in the conference) is led by quarterback and Heisman candidate Dennis Dixon, who has thrown for 20 touchdowns and rushed for eight this season.

Arizona (4-6, 3-4) appears on its way to its ninth straight losing season, and hasn't played a bowl game since 1998. The Wildcats had a bye last week, which gives them two significant advantages in the Thursday night game (the other being home field).

Arizona State (9-1, 6-1) has a bye in Week 12, and plays in the featured Week 13 Thursday night game against USC in Sun Devil Stadium.

Dennis Dixon is an easily breakable twig of a "football player"
