andStanfordlastweekend. Some team will break the trend eventually — maybe. UTAH62,OREGON20 Ducks fans have become accus- tomed to witnessing blow- outs. The one they saw on Saturday had them shak- ing their heads. Taking a page from the Oregon run- up-the-score playbook, the Utes scored a touchdown late in the first half to take a 14-point lead and kept go- ing. It was the most points Oregon has allowed in Eu- gene and the most overall since losing 54-0 to Wash- ington in 1977. UTES' RISE Utah has had its share of struggles since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, finishing no higher than a tie for third in the South Division and one winning conference record. The Utes weren't expected to be much better this season ei- ther, picked to finish fifth in the South. Utah gained a bit of national attention by ruining Jim Harbaugh's debut with Michigan in the season opener and moved up to No. 10 with a first- place vote in the latest AP Top 25 after improving to 4-0 with the win over Or- egon. FLAILING DUCKS Oregon lost Heisman Trophy win- ner Marcus Mariota af- ter playing in the national championship game but was still expected to be a College Football Playoff contender after landing transfer quarterback Ver- non Adams. Things have not gone to plan so far. The Ducks opened the season with a win against East- ern Washington, but Ad- ams injured his hand and was bothered by it in a loss to Michigan State the next week. Oregon bounced back with a rout of Geor- gia State, but Saturday's debacle against Utah left the Ducks reeling. There's some work to do in the Pa- cific Northwest. DOUBLE DESERT DISAP- POINTMENTS UCLA beat- ing Arizona and USC tak- ing down Arizona State was not too much of a sur- prise. The way in which the Bruins and Trojans did it was a little unexpected. UCLA stomped the Wild- cats 56-30 and USC fol- lowed with a 42-14 victory over the Sun Devils a few hours later. The 98 com- bined points were among the most allowed by Ari- zona and Arizona State in the same day (since 1959) and were even tougher to swallow since both des- ert teams were playing at home and holding hopes for a Pac-12 South title. CAL'S RISE The Bears got the Sonny Dykes Era off to an ugly start, winning one game while going 0-9 in conference in 2013. Cal took a step forward last season by winning five games — three in the Pac- 12 — but few expected them to be this good this fast in 2015. Riding the heady play of quarterback Jared Goff, the Bears are 4-0 and ranked 24th af- ter winning a pair of routs to open the season, hold- ing off Texas in a shootout and outlasting Washington in their Pac-12 opener last weekend. EVERYONE WINS In most seasons, at least a couple of Pac-12 teams will have losing records at this point. That's not the case this sea- son. Every conference team is at least .500 and three — UCLA, Cal and Utah — are still undefeated. Even Washington State and Col- orado, two Pac-12 bottom dwellers in recent years, have had winning ways. The Buffaloes enter this weekend's games 3-1 while the Cougars are 2-1. Pac-12 FROM PAGE 1 him," Holmes said. "Really, what I'm seeing is a lot of teams are playing us man- to-man. It's not even peo- ple keeping eyes on Amari or Crab. It's just more we're beating other teams when they're going man-to-man on us." Holmes is third on Oak- land's depth chart after being the team's No. 2 re- ceiver averaging nearly 15 yards a catch in 2014. His status now puts Holmes in much more fa- vorable matchups while Roberts has likewise bene- fited from the defensive fo- cusonCooperandCrabtree. "It's their best corners trying to man up on Am- ari or Crab, as opposed to last year when I would get the starting corner," Holmes said. "Now when I go in I might go against the nickel. He's still a good corner but it's a better matchup for me." Carr is using the depth of his receivers to spread defenses out more, as well. He is averaging 8.1 yards per pass attempt, which is 2.6 yards more than he did as a rookie. Addition- ally, Carr has already com- pleted three passes of 40 yards or longer after doing it just seven times in 2014. A second-round pick a year ago, Oakland's quar- terback has shown his big- gest improvement under pressure. According to ProFoot- ballFocus.com, Carr has completed 73 percent of his passes (14 of 19) for 243 yards and two touchdowns when opposing defenses blitz. That works out to a quarterback rating of 150.7. "He makes good deci- sions and he is accurate passing the football," Del Rio said. "We just want to continue to grow that." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 first start of the season un- til his 96th game — Game 4 of the Finals at Cleve- land — and went off for 22 points with four 3-pointers and eight rebounds. Now, he is prepared to do what he is most used to in Kerr's system: be a spark off the bench. It certainly suited him well even if he had been a starter for his entire career with Philadel- phia and the Nuggets be- fore making the switch last season. New Golden State guard Ben Gordon got to know Iguodala, Stephen Curry and other Warriors in Las Vegas this summer and he has been shooting around with Iguodala during some recent evenings. "That was one of the biggest things I congratu- lated him about this sum- mer, one thing he got a lot of flak for when he was in Philly was for not being an over-20-plus per-game scorer," Gordon said. "He does a lot of things out there that show up on the stat sheet and don't show up on the stat sheet. The opportunity for him to play well in the Finals and end up winning the MVP is a credit to him sticking with it and believing in his game." Even if he was one of the league's best backups for the 67-win Warriors, Iguo- dala doesn't need any ex- tra award for it. Now, if it happens, he would be thrilled. "A lot of sixth men have more responsibility and they've made more of an impact sometimes than 80 percent of the rest of the guys on the team, so it's just a name," Iguodala said. "But if I got it, it would be something pretty cool having the career I had and then being able to embrace something different that's normally not accepted or thought of as cool by guys who have started their whole career, been MVPs, in The Finals or the regular season, played in the Olym- pics or have been All-Stars. They shy away from that." Notes: G Leandro Bar- bosa is being delayed by visa issues back home in Brazil and is expected to join the Warriors in the next couple of days. ... Golden State's first practice was just shy of two hours, and Kerr won't be doing two-a-days. "Two-a-days are overrated," he said. "I will probably never do a two-a-day again in my life. We just had a nine-month season." Warriors FROM PAGE 1 AARONJOSEFCZYK–THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Cleveland Browns free safety Tashaun Gipson cannot stop Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper on Sunday.

On the air By John Hickey BayAreaNewsGroup ANAHEIM Justine Siegal became the first woman employed as a coach by a major league team when the A's announced Tuesday thatshehasbeenhiredfora two-weekstintasaguestin- structor with their Instruc- tional League club in Ari- zona. Siegal, who has com- pleted Major League Base- ball's scout school, threw batting practice for six teams, including the A's, during the spring of 2011. She said A's general man- ager Billy Beane was the first GM to sign on for her BP sessions. She and Beane have stayed in touch and "I've always made my hopes known"aboutbreakinginto baseball. "ThereisnoJackieRobin- sonwithoutBranchRickey," Siegal said, referring to the Brooklyn Dodgers general manager who hired Robin- son to break baseball's color barrier. "It's going to be a great two weeks. I'm going to focus on being the best coach I can for those two weeks." Siegal joins the A's In- structional League team on Sunday and will work there until October 17. She joins other female coaching pio- neers such as Becky Ham- mon,whowasafull-timeas- sistant with the NBA's San Antonio Spurs last season, and Jen Welter, who was an assistant coaching intern with the NFL's Arizona Car- dinals this past preseason. Siegal became the first womantocoachmen'sbase- ball professionally in 2009 as the first base coach for the Brockton Rox, an inde- pendent team.
