Physicality, that's the name of the game! Run up the middle, then do it up the middle again...repeat.

I'm not sure we'll win by 30 as noted above. I wonder if some of us are not giving the Arizona offense enough credit. Arizona may not look like the strongest team on paper, sitting at 3-2 overall and 1-1 in Pac-12 play. But make no mistake, this game isn't setting up to be a cakewalk.

John Canzano has heard these rumors from Pac-12 officials themselves. If the Pac-12 wants to retain its best football officials, it needs to be pro-active. The Big Ten is apparently sniffing around.

This article is from an Arizona writer. I think it is a true assessment of where the Wildcats are at today. Their passing offense is great but their defense needs some work. Jedd Fisch’s team has an offense as dangerous as any and it is paired with a defense that, well, is not. The Arizona Wildcats may have reached their ceiling Saturday night.

Well, I am ready to move on. If we haven't seen anything from TT by now to give us some hope, I am not sure he is the one to get us to Nattyland. I know MC did him no favors, but he should have learned some basic fundamentals by now. Confidence on the big stage is something that some people never get and I am not sure we can wait for him to get it. I'd like to see what Butters can do. He seemed more confident to me in the spring game and someone mentioned on another thread that he can throw dimes. What this offense needs is someone to throw dimes. Plus we need to know what Butters can do in games too. If neither one is a potential starter, then the coaches need to know that going into next year. It would be great if Nix stays another year to mentor Dante Moore.
