Arizona Daily Star: Pac-10 team capsules

Link.

GOLDEN BEARS

• Coach: Jeff Tedford (50-26 in 6 years)

• In 2007: 7-6, won Armed Forces Bowl

• Goodbye: Justin Forsett ran for 1,546 yards; DeSean Jackson, Robert Jordan and Lavelle Hawkins caught more than 2,100 yards of passes.

• Hello: Sophomore RB Jahvid Best, who averaged 7.6 yards in only 29 attempts last year, could be the conference's fastest player.

• The Big Question: With offensive firepower gone, can Tedford work his offensive-minded magic to rebound from a 2-6 finish last season?

• The Greatest: Food service ever — while protesters sat in trees at the Memorial Stadium oak grove to protest the building of a new athletic training center, campus police delivered bottled water and at least 1,800 calories worth of food per day.

• Best Name: RB Covaughn DeBoskie

• TiVo it: vs. Michigan State, 5 p.m., Aug. 30 (ABC)
