I most likely won't be able to be online during tomorrow's game, so do me a favor and play nice in the game thread :)

I have been diagnosed with AZ football depression. I have tickets to the game, a tailgate to hit, it is homecoming, they are serving beer in the stadium...I just can't get off the couch to make the drive down to Tucson. :|

Well as usual the remedy for AZ football depression is AZ basketball. There's just no life in the program right now and it goes beyond the losses. As another poster mentioned earlier, Arizona football seems like a rudderless ship right now. No leadership, no direction, no identity, no bueno.

There is a black cat loose in the south part of the stadium. Since that’s Oregon’s end for warmups, surely that’s bad luck for them. Right? RIGHT??

Oregon and Oregon St haven't won on the same day in almost 2 years.

Did Oregon bring their cheerleaders? Would be the best looking thing at Arizona stadium in a very long time.

Doubt it - probably afraid of the water bottles.

No wonder it wasn't correct.

No respect for the UA defense since OU won the toss and elected to receive.

First Tate throw deep. The man was open at least. Just overthrown

RhettRod could not have made that pass, probably a pick

That was the offense I have been expecting to see. Some run, some run flat routes, with a deep ball here and there.

Back to back 3 and outs by the defense.

Worse thing Tate can do is get long ball happy that he seems to do.

Offense can't waste these possessions. They can't expect the defense to keep this up.

Strange penalty. Hopefully this one won't be as painful as the other one. I don't think the UA defense can possibly keep this up

I don't think so either. Our O-Line just isn't good enough to sustain long run drives that eat the clock and keep the defense off the field.

Does Tate ever throw to his left side?

I guess Tate is incapable of completing short passes on more than one drive.

Never.

He doesn't even use the pocket anymore.

Best start of the season and it's only worth 10 points? That may not even win the first quarter.

Exactly. I am wondering what happened to the play calling from the first drive.

Too bad that RhettRod doesn't have Tate's arm, or Tate has RhettRod's football IQ.

But special teams has been outstanding for AZ

Low QB IQ. Every player on our defense probably wants to punch him.
