This would really suck if Rich Rod left. GB needs to give him an extension immediately to squash all these rumors. The coaching speculation comes with the territory, but it gets old fast, that's for sure. Problem is, Muschamp is finishing out the season so that makes the chances that they'll announ...

azpenguin

If anything RR will use this to get more money for his coaches to stay at Arizona. Is Casteel on anyone's short list? Perhaps Rod Smith if he develops Anu. It's not so much about keeping the assistants here, it's that RR wants to take care of his assistants. That's been a recurring theme for him ov...

Utah just went up against Stanford for an overtime game and those two beat the hell out of each other. That could end up being a factor. Arizona needs to find some drives to keep the defense off the field for a little while. The Cats have shown all year that they're well conditioned, and they'll nee...

All they can do is beat who's in front of them. If they get some help then so be it.

QFT. They've got monsters on that line. The fact the RR was able to get Wilson over 100 yards on those guys is a credit to him just finding a way. One more big D-line to face coming up.

Riggleman is quietly having a pretty good year. Averaging almost 46 yards a punt with 19 over 50 yards.

azpenguin

This win was all about the little things. UW didn't handle them and Arizona did. Examples: 1. Penalties. UW just wouldn't cut it out with the holds. If I can see them clearly from the upper deck, it's blatant. 2. The botched PAT. Not a kicker issue, it was a snap problem. Margin of victory right the...

Always feels good to win, but damn did watching Skowron get a chance to be the star for a game feel great. Gotta say, was pretty impressed with those wheels.

azpenguin

I think I saw that AZ held UW to 31 yards in their final 17 plays. Wilson ran better the longer the game went on as well. These guys just don't stop and that's a credit to S&C.

azpenguin

How pathetic that ASSU is down with the year they are having. Though my guess is a lot of that has to do with the Cardinals. I know personally I haven't been able t commit to going to Tucson for a game because of my season ticket commitment to the Cardinals and not wanting to miss any games, becaus...

I never park in a garage - takes too freaking long to get out. I always park in the neighborhood south of Sixth and it's easy to make a getaway to anywhere south or east. That's me as well. Meep meep! I'm not a fan of selling beer at the games. It'd be more trouble for the school than it was worth.

Interesting Devil as I am almost the opposite which confirms many of the points made already 1) I go to the games alone because my wife hates sports. I do meet up with DC and Dosia to tailgate though 2) I am very emotionally invested in the football program. Too much probably for the frustration it...

The LA schools play in freaking huge stadiums. Hard to ask them to be close to 100%. Stanford... well, I don't know that I buy the percentage on that one; look at the stands at any of thir games and you'll see what I mean. They couldn't sell out the Pac 12 title game IIRC. My biggest beef is that th...

I can tell you that GB and the AD have racked their brains trying to figure out why more fans aren't coming out. Yeah, they've clearly been doing everything they can. I don't buy the "competing with basketball" excuse either. There's a small amount of tickets left for a few of the non-conference ga...

azpenguin

I do think dmjcat makes a valid point. Who are you and what have you done with our ol' dc4? ;) What I'm seeing is that I just don't know how much more the AD can do. This is a good team, they've worked to make prices affordable, they've worked on the game day experience, they've worked to stay in f...

Stranger things have definitely happened. Mora is a better coach than Sark. Stanford looks better than they did earlier this year. I'm not saying it will happen for sure, but this scenario certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility. All the Cats can do is go out there and win their games.

https://twitter.com/DSBerk/status/533000073995882497 Trevor Ermisch was the big surprise to me. He was reported out for the year after the Cal game with his arm injury. I hope this means he could be back for ASSu or any of our post season activity. Whoa, good catch there. I missed that. As long as ...

azpenguin

That's a pretty rough injury report. RichRod usually (not always) doesn't play guys listed as questionable. Considering Parks had a concussion I think we won't see him.

azpenguin

Keeping an eye on the LA schools. If both lose a game the Cats win the south by winning out. One's going to lose because they play each other. Have to wonder if this is the weekend Cal pulls a rabbit out of their hat and beats USC. I doubt it, but they are kind of due. Getting that shot to win the S...

There is a large contingent of the fanbase (myself included by and large) that are hesitant to completely buy in until the program can prove it's not just 'the same old Cats'. The Cats that get your hopes up, just to lose to the LA schools and throw a bucket of cold water all over our hopes and dre...

Dammmnnnn that's impressive. Over two weeks early. Win this one and 2015 ticket sales will be brisk.

Back at the fall scrimmage before last season, I got my first chance to see Solomon in action. It was clear to me and the guy I was watching with right away - Solomon's got "it." RR knows what he's got with him and what he turns Solomon into can be a statement that Rodriguez is one of the best coach...

As has been stated many times before - rule #1 for a QB is take care of the football. One reason Denker did as well as he did was that, despite not being a tremendous talent, he want turning the ball over much at all. If the QB can take care of the ball then you can build the rest from there. Solomo...

Start, yes, but doesn't mean he won't get snaps at RB as well. See: Jack, Myles.

We will not roll UW or anyone else left on our schedule. Injuries are piling up, especially in our secondary. We will win by a fieldgoal but it will be close and we will likely have to come from behind because we will spot them a TD or two out of the gate. I'm not even going to talk about the Utah ...

azpenguin

We get a lot of PI calls because we start figuring out which cornerbacks can't cover our outside receivers and Solomon starts throwing that way. Notice that most of the PI calls are at the sideline. That's by design. If you're a 5'9" corner and you're up against Cayleb Jones and you see him looking ...

Early on it surprised me about how bad ND was at watching Golson's blind side. ASU kept sending corner/slot blitzes from that side and the guy wasn't accounted for at LOS and the RB was slow to figure it out. You could see the guy pinning back his ears before the snap and you knew he was coming. But...

azpenguin

More important than UWs troubles moving the ball is that they rely on turnovers. They're +10 on the season and they force a lot of fumbles. Arizona, on the other hand, doesn't turn the ball over a lot. UW has a solid front seven so we'll need to see much better execution from the line and Solomon. B...

Good win for asu. Golson was crap and cost them the game. ND outgained asu, but Golson turning the ball over lost them the game. Thing is, most of those turnovers were forced. Have to credit asu for that. This game was eerily reminiscent of the UA game last year. The one thing they showed that they...

One part of his game that can improve is pass coverage. Not ask to do much of that it seems given the scheme (5 DB's) but it would be nice to see him take some deep drops and maybe get a pick I see where you're coming from. But I wouldn't take him out of his present role. He's insanely effective, a...

From an interview with Sefo Liufau: “I wouldn’t say keep an eye out,” Liufau said. “Obviously you’re aware of their playmakers on defense, but I wouldn’t say we’re going to be running the ball away from him…Every defense has a really good player and he’s just another one. So we’re just going to stay...

Too early to judge? This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for their defense, and I honestly didnt think they would win 7 games. ASU is 7-1 and ranked #9 in the country, after replacing 9 starters from the defense you referenced. Pretty sure there are like 4 players getting meaningful reps left ...

They were starting walk-on freshmen left and right in 2012. That's how little RR inherited on defense. And yet they were two defensive plays away from winning ten that year. If they'd had a few more guys, we'd be singing a completely different tune.

Could there be any less excitement for this game? I'm not hearing anyone talk about it. Hell, even on this board, not much interest in it. No. I've actually skipped the last two CU games including the one in Tucson and it'sthe only game ssince moving to Tucson in 07 that I've skipped outside of ULL...

Win this and they're 7-2 going into the UW game. Huskies have a strong front seven but a paper thin secondary - and that was before they kicked their best corner off the team yesterday.

RichRod was saying about what happened at UCLA that a lot of things went wrong (drops, reads, blocking, play calling), but that it's nothing that can't be corrected.

Since he's been here, the team has always responded well after a loss. In 2012 they took Stanford to OT on the road after getting blown out in Autzen. After the UCLA shellacking that year they then won the next two, including on the road at Utah. Last year after Washington they shook off the rust a...

And I historically, if I had to choose, would follow FB before BB. But the Miller Era, especially the last two season, has changed that. I'm big into both of them.
