Bear Down Wildcats

Dodged a bullet but the Kool-Aid has run out. Unless RRod manages to find a way to increase AS' accuracy its going to be a fight just to get to 6 wins.

Not yet but if we lose our margin for error (getting to 6 wins) goes to zero.

Oh my fucking god we are gonna lose this game.

The odds still favor us but if UTSA manages to get a FG and force OT I don't like our chances.

Time for Solomon to man up.......UTSA is going to stack the box and force him to make some completions.

A tad too early for that statement........they score here and stop our sputtering O and they could easily win,

Solomon didn't look good hobbling off the field. If he can't go I wonder who RRod turns to??? Personally, I don't think Scroggins or Randall would be the answer....I can't believe either would ever be able to complete 60% of their passes.........Brewer would be my choice. He only needs to complete t...

dmjcat

Well, that play pretty much sums up the 3-3-5.........we have made the decision to drop 7-8 and hope their QB doesn't torch us. After 3 years RRod hasn't recruited a single PAC12 DLineman. Hopefully Griffin develops during his redshirt year.

Observations after 1.5 games: Defense: 1) The 3-3-5 is still a porous mess that is way too small up front and way to easy to run on. It resembles a prevent defense where you drop 8 guys off the line every down and pray nothing bad happens. Hate to admit it but Crackers asu defense is much, much bett...

dmjcat

Please stop blaming the officials..........the lack of a single DL that can pressure the QB or get off a block is the root cause of the problem here. who's blaming the refs? Pretty sure we can all see our D getting shredded at the moment Are you joking???? Go back and look at this thread, every oth...

Year 3 and the 3-3-5 is as porous as ever. The NT position has taken a huge step back.................all the preseason blather about Worthy being better than Hood was just pure fantasy. The scary thing is that every single PAC12 team we face with the possible exception of Colorado can put a better ...

You predicted a 9-4 record for the UA....which obviously implies you think UA will beat WSU. Halliday, by the way, is starting to smoke Rutgers.........do YOU want to change your WSU prediction???? Nope. Not one bit. WSU is a one trick pony. Agree on the one trick pony comment...........but you sti...

dmjcat

asu looks pretty good... ...then you realize who they're playing. Strong looks really good. Foster looks fast. Kelly makes good decisions. Against a half-way decent defense though? Hard to say. asu's offense is legit......they proved that last year. The real question is how their defense will do ag...

Anybody want to change their Cougar prediction? No. They BEAT us in Tucson, we lose our starting QB and our best player (Carey) and we are playing them at Wazzu and you think we are a cinch to win???

I understand exactly how talented our WR corps is.........What you fail to realize is that we do not have a proven QB to get them the ball. Two of our top 3 QB's couldn't even complete 50% of their passes at the JC level.......and the PAC12 is not a JC league. The presumed starter is a frosh. I dou...

DMJ, if Rich Rodriguez cannot recruit to Tucson......what coach out there could we ever realistically who could? Give me a break.

Dawkins has been suspended and Melvin has been declared academically ineligible for the rest of the year. Our NG position is getting thinner by the day.

Which means that I am convinced that RRod is an excellent coach, I'm just not sure that he can recruit to the UA/Tucson at a level which will get us to the Rose Bowl. His first two classes were OK........the present class appears to be taking a downward trajectory.[/quote] In 2002 RR had 1 4 star re...

RRod is an excellent coach. He takes good players and turns them into excellent players. He has a knack of getting the best out of what he has. The real question is whether RRod can successfully recruit at the UA....can he sell Tucson???? HIs first three recruiting classes are looking eerily simila...

I feel like the altitude thing is overblown. Tucson isn't some low lying sea level town. I agree with the altitude thing being over-blown. These are not a bunch of geriatric patients playing football. I do believe that the weather can't be under-estimated. If we end up playing in a snowstorm in Nov...

UA 34-17

We won't beat them as badly as last year due to breaking in a new QB. In addition the Rebel defense will be better up front due to the UCLA/Washington transfers (Willis/Shirley).

"In addition to the obvious talent gap between Pitts and York and whichever player would have to sit on the bench if one of them starts, I've got to believe we're not going to get zoned all that much. We didn't last year, so why would teams change this year?" Because SJ can't shoot the 3 as well as ...

Our line should be better this year and I think Gurrola with a year of experience along with Bundage and Alsadek should help us be close to the top in rushing.

The idea of Pitts or York at SG with Johnson off the bench just won't happen for several reasons, the most important to recruiting is you don't sit 5-star, top-10, NBA Lottery-bound recruits. Not unless you have an absolute stud at the same position. I like York, and I'm very high on Pitts, but out...

One can only wonder what kind of output Foles/Grigsby and the Gronk might have had with RR.

I would argue that we had better depth when Foles/Scott were #1/#2 (I would take Scott over all 3 of the backups we have at the moment). A large chunk of the 4000 yards you refer to were a direct result of having a top-flight college back (now in the NFL) that we won't have this year. Regarding our ...

Despite 99% of posters predicting a starting lineup with Stanley Johnson playing the 2G I think there is a decent chance that either Pitts (or an improved shooting York) wind up at the 2. If we go big with SJ at the off-guard the entire conference will zone us and force SJ and TJM to prove they can ...

Utah is a popular trap game pick this year, it seems. I don't see it. I think the fact that the game is on the road is actually a good thing for the Cats, because it takes them out of their comfort zone.
