ByJohnHickey BayAreaNewsGroup OAKLAND Stephen Vogt has a little bit of Dave Stewart in him. For the second straight year, Vogt was named the winner of the A's Dave Stewart Community Ser- vice Award, recognition that goes annually to a player who's done signif- icant charitable work lo- cally and nationally. Stewart, the current general manager of the Ar- izona Diamondbacks, will be on hand Wednesday to present the award, which has been given out annu- ally since 1996. Vogt, the first player to win the award twice, and his wife, Alyssa, spend much of their free time helping Dublin's School of Imagination, which works with upwards of 350 special needs chil- dren. The Vogts make regular visits to the school, and several times a year groups from the school visit the A's for games at the Coliseum. The Vogt Family Fund hosted the school's first- ever All-Star Benefit on World Autism Day, which raised more than $90,000 for autism awareness. The Vogts have been working with the school since 2014. "I feel so honored and so blessed," Vogt said af- ter the award was an- nounced. "The first time my wife and I went over (to the School of Imagina- tion), we had no idea how special it would become to us. They have become like family for us." A's manager Bob Melvin is proud of the work his players have done in the community, particularly Vogt, who immersed him- self in the East Bay after coming to Oakland from Tampa Bay. "That's why our fan base loves him. That's why he's loved in the clubhouse," the manager said. "He's not just about his team, he's about the community as well, and he's been that way since Day One. It's well-deserved and not a surprise." Previous winners of the Dave Stewart Community Service Award include: Ernie Young (1996), Scott Spiezio (1997), Tom Can- diotti (1998), Art Howe (1999), Jason Giambi (2000), Terrence Long (2001), Tim Hudson (2002), Scott Hatteberg (2003), Eric Chavez (2004), Barry Zito (2005), Mark Kotsay (2006), Mark Ellis (2007), Dana Eveland (2008), Dal- las Braden and Kurt Su- zuki (2009), Craig Breslow (2010), Josh Willingham (2011), Jonny Gomes (2012), Sean Doolittle (2013), Jed Lowrie (2014) and Vogt (2015). A'S NOTEBOOK Vogt wins 2nd Stewart Award a physical defense and one of the nation's best players, Christian McCaffrey. The juniorrunningbackwasthe Heisman Trophy runner-up a year ago and teams are still having trouble slowing him down. The Huskies are alittlelessofaknownquan- tity because of their early schedule. Washington (3-0) won its first three games by a combined score of 148-30, but the games came against less-than-upper-tier oppo- nents Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State. The rest of the schedule will show just how good the Huskies are. KEEP AN EYE ON Oregon, California. It's hard to fault the Ducks (2-1) for losing at back-on-the-rise Nebraska on Saturday. The problem is Oregon's defense has worn down in the second half in consecutive weeks and in- juries have hit key players. Receiver Devon Allen is out for the year with a torn ACL and the status of star run- ning back Royce Freeman (leg) is unknown heading into this weekend's game against Colorado. Cal, be- hind quarterback Davis Webb, has put up prodi- gious offensive numbers and it picked up a quality win by beating then-No. 11 Texas last week. The Bears have had some trouble on defense, though, particu- larly stopping the run. LONGSHOTS Oregon State, Washington State. The Bea- vers (1-2) ended a 10-game losing streak last weekend, but that came against FCS Idaho State. They could be back on the rise, but it may not be this season. The Cou- gars' momentum from last season appears to be halted after an opening loss to FCS Eastern Washington and another to Boise State. A blowout win over Idaho last week is a good sign, but a stretch against Ore- gon, Stanford and UCLA follows Washington State's bye week. SouthDivision FAVORITES No. 24 Utah, UCLA. The Utes (3-0) have been dominant on defense and are second nationally with 15 sacks after piling up 10 against San Jose State lastweek.Utah'soffensehas sputtered at times, though it seems to be improving. The Utes face a big test this week against USC, which ended their perfect season a year ago. The Bruins (2-1) opened the season with an overtime loss to Texas A&M and had to eke out a three- point victory at BYU. UCLA still has one of the nation's best young quarterbacks in sophomore Josh Rosen and its defense took a big step by shutting down the Cou- gars last week. A true gauge of where the Bruins stand will come Saturday, when they host Stanford. KEEP AN EYE ON Arizona State, Arizona. The Sun Devils (3-0) are one of four undefeatedteams leftin the Pac-12, but they have been less than dominant. Ari- zona State had a slow-start- ing win over FCS Northern Arizona, needed 68 points to outlast Texas Tech and had to get a late touchdown to beat UTSA last week. Up- coming games against Cal, USC and UCLA will tell a lot about this team. The Wildcats (2-1) are trending upward after a 47-28 vic- tory over Hawaii last Sat- urday. There are still is- sues with the defense and the offense started slow in games against BYU and Grambling State. Up next comes a gauntlet: Washing- ton, UCLA, Utah, USC and Stanford. LONGSHOTS Colorado, USC. The Trojans (1-2, 0-1) were ranked No. 20 in the preseason and were ex- pected to compete with ri- val UCLA for the South ti- tle. Lopsided losses to top-ranked Alabama and Stanford seem to make those expectations a bit over-reaching. The Buffa- loes looked like a team to keep an eye on after blow- ing out Colorado State and Idaho State. Then came a 45-28 loss to No. 4 Michi- gan that saw quarterback Sefo Liufau go down with a right ankle injury. If Liu- fau is out an extended pe- riod of time, the Buffaloes could have a hard time in the Pac-12. College FROM PAGE 1 Joseph said. "Just use it as motivation. I've just got to show them that I'm ready." A contributing factor is the fact that the first two quarterbacks on the sched- ule, Drew Brees and Matt Ryan, are established vet- erans who could conceiv- ably gain an edge on a rookie safety. That the Raiders gave up 819 yards passing and seven touchdown passes to Brees and Ryan hastened the need for Joseph. By waiting until Week 3, the Raiders will be faced with Marcus Mariota, a second-year player whom Joseph faced in the pre- season. Other than sitting out with an injury, riding the bench has been a new ex- perience. In college at West Virginia, Joseph started every game in which he played for three seasons before an ACL tear ended his senior year after five games. "As a competitor, I don't like being on the sideline," Joseph said. "I want to be out there with the team. I want to make plays and help the team win. It defi- nitely hurt. It's been hard. But I'm staying patient, preparing all week like I'm getting an opportunity, and when I do I'm going to make the most of it." Joseph said he has con- tinued to soak in as much knowledge as he can from the rest of the safeties. "Karl's been taking it in well," starting free safety Reggie Nelson said. "I think he's been handling it good. He comes out every day to practice and plays hard and works on his technique. For coach Jack to say that, it means he's been doing good things and right to his standard. If he puts him out there, it will be a great thing." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 MARCIOJOSESANCHEZ—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS The seventh-ranked Cardinal (2-0, 1-0Pac-12) have already established themselves as a team to beat by manhandling USC, a team expected to contend in the South.
