Southern Utah (7-3)

Looking ahead: End of season.

Whom to watch: Quarterback Matt Cannon. The junior moved atop the SUU single-season charts for rushing touchdowns and scoring in last week's win over Southwest Texas. Cannon has 120 points on 20 touchdowns.

Notes: The Thunderbirds are looking for their fifth consecutive victory -- something SUU hasn't done since 1991 . . . A win would also give SUU its first eight-victory season since 1986 . . . Cannon and defensive backs Josh Roberts and Clint Brown were recently named to the GTE Academic All-District VIII squad.

Looking ahead: End of season.
