It is on one of those fingers that Miller wears his championship ring from the Raiders' 10-1 season in 2002. Moorpark finished ranked No. 6 in the nation and beat Pasadena 55-28 in the Potato Bowl.

According to the National Junior College Research Association, College of the Canyons consistently ranks in the top 50 community colleges in the nation. . ``They're going to be surprised,'' said Miller, who is being recruited by Texas Tech and Hawaii, ``by how hard we come out.'' Sophomore running back Greg Morris added: ``We're just going to have to step it up and be the team we know we are capable of being. We're still the same team that was champion from last year, and we're not going to give up on that.'' This is the task facing top-ranked Canyons in its regular-season finale. With a victory, the Cougars (9-0, 6-0) can complete the first unbeaten regular season in program history as well as the first by an area team since 1995. First, however, they will have to get by a Moorpark team that has had tonight circled on its calendar all fall, forfeit or not. And if you can't be champions, beating the champions comes in a close second. ``Believe me, we talked about that,'' Lyon said. ``Every team we've played has played like it's the game of the season. They're going to play like it's their bowl game.'' Moorpark had its 40-0 victory Oct. 27 against Ventura overturned by the conference last week after the Raiders were found to have used an ineligible player in the game. That player, reserve defensive back Jason Spratt, saw action in fewer than 10 plays one week after being ejected. Moorpark's players learned of the news Saturday night and Sunday morning Sunday Morning may refer to:

Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region, ,'' Bittner said. ``I've looked at them on film the last four days and it's hard to find any weakness.'' Moorpark does have several matchup advantages against the Cougars. The Raiders' defense is ranked third in the state (allowing 203.3 yards a game) and boasts the area's top defensive line. Against Ventura, Moorpark recorded seven sacks. ``It's probably our quickness off the ball,'' Miller said. ``We're all around 4.8 or better (in the 40-yard dash) and everybody's pretty strong.'' The Raiders also feature a bruising bruising discoloration and actual hemorrhage at the site of injury, and a serious disadvantage in the meat trade.
