This week's conversation has focused on Oregon's weapons. The No. 9 Ducks, you might have heard, may play Saturday's showdown with No. 18 Arizona State without star tailback LaMichael James. The Sun Devils remain concerned.

But through six games, ASU has some weapons of its own, particularly in the passing game. How's this for balance:

Junior Jamal Miles leads the Sun Devils with 27 receptions, most coming out of the backfield. Senior receivers Gerell Robinson and Aaron Pflugrad each have 26. Senior receiver Mike Willie has 17.

This would seem to create some internal competition (if not friction), but so far that hasn't been the case. After last week's win at Utah, Willie pointed out it's hard to get upset when the team is successful. Quarterback Brock Osweiler said that type of attitude makes his job easier.

"You'd really be surprised with the attitudes of our wide receivers and the brotherhood they have," he said. "As Mike said after the game, they don't care who gets the most catches, who has the most yards, who's scoring the touchdowns. As long as the team is winning, that's all they care about. It's a cool thing to see because I know a lot of football players aren't like that. A lot of guys want their touches."

Sounds almost too good to be true.

"I'm pretty sure none of us think about it," Robinson said. "Everybody just wants to win. (Willie) didn't catch a ball against Oregon State, then caught two touchdowns last week. He didn't care. I didn't care. As long as we get the 'W's,' that's the only thing that matters."

Standing on the practice field Thursday, Robinson was quizzed about his numbers.

"I can honestly say I have not even looked at the season stats," he said. "I was told (Wednesday) that I have passed my last year's numbers, and I didn't even know that."

OK, then. How about a test.

-�How many catches do you have?

Robinson: "Twenty . . . . five?"

Close, but wrong.

-�Who leads the team in receptions?

"Pflugrad."

Wrong again..

"Miles leads the team?" Robinson said. "Aw, that's a trick question."

Coach Dennis Erickson said a lot of the credit goes to Osweiler.

"The old cliche of what they're giving you," he said. "(Osweiler) doesn't focus on one guy. He's reading what's happening within the offense and then going to the guy that he's supposed to and that's what great quarterbacks to."

So far, it's served ASU well.
