This might be the most interesting game of the year and not because of the pics Greg will be posting.

First off we are a decided home dog. Washington loses and we are 4-1 coming off a road win and vegas suggests UDub as a road favorite at -9.5. That is crazy to me given the results. In fact, UDub is only 2-5 in its last 7 as a road favorite

They have only won one game in the state of Arizona since 2007 and that was an OT win by their playoff team over a 3-9 wildcat team.

The cats lead the league in interceptions yet only have a league low 4 sacks. They also face more passes than anyone else in the conference (47% of plays, league avg is 35%) which would make you think we are taking away the run but we are in the bottom 4 in the conference in yards per carry by our opponent. We are 55th in pass defense efficiency and 59th against the run. Pretty pedestrian really.

Washington is only 81st against the run and we are 12 in running offense but you know they will load the box on us. The Huskies have not lost 2 in a row since the 2015 season.

To me, this is the game we would have won that we were not expected to win IF UDub had beaten Furd. Now I fear we have their full focus and attention. They will be physical and ready and should be as sharp as they were on the road at BYU and at home against USC.

It comes down to Kahlil Tate. He is a special player in his SR year. When he wants to play he goes things other QB’s just can’t do. He is the difference and he wills us to a 27-24 win Saturday night

I'm going to need a nap sometime today.

Can I stay awake for this one?

Hope the fans there boo the fuck out of him.

how the hell do you let a guy come up the middle to block your punt?

for fucks sake arizona

hey Defense, nice 4th down stop! fuck yeah!

Our defense held on 4th down?!

What sort of mystical wonderland am I living in?

we had em just where we wanted em all along

Washington's defense has us completely baffled.

Need some designed runs for Tate

he's the only guy making postive yards right now.


that punt wasn't good, got a lucky bounce though and a good tackle on the returner

We are getting great push on the straight up field runs. The stretch plays aren’t effective right now. We gotta loosen up with some downfield throws.

The kicker wears his pants quite high

Still giving up yards, but unlike in the past, they are getting off the field.

uw striking first, but only a FG.

let's see if the O can respond now

Good stop in the redzone. Would like to see some consistency on offense.

Spencer Tillman is an idiot.

Dick Tomey had a wide-open offensive system?

maybe if you never watched us play back then you'd think that?

this outside stuff just aint working against uw's cb's

Bad Tate is showing up. Bad decisions on scrambles. Abandoning the pocket too early. Ugh.

I was about to say. Why doesn't he step up instead of stepping out.

short punt, not good coverage, sigh

Very bad Tate.Scrambling right into Washington players.

Against Colorado Tate stayed in the pocket and did great things. He got rattled on the first drive so it’s 3 seconds and freak out.

So we went away from the run game early i see.

Tate gets one more chance before I'd yank him

i see the stupid penalties are back this game

or we could do that

Jesus.

The center is flinching his left hand

For fuck's sake... -_-

Ugh

So are we aiming for a turd this game?

we're going to lose this game aren't we.

so fucking dumb

One of the dumbest plays in the history of PAC-12 football.

Signed,
Bill Walton

So, special team coach should be fired.

WildcatStunner wrote:So are we aiming for a turd this game?

well, that's been the historical pattern for us.

win a few, start rising expectations, then go out and lay a turd

but the D has come to play it looks like

Where did this D come from?!

another nice stop from the D.

and they were put in an awful position on that punt return fuckup.

well done D.

maybe the O could come out and support you with a score now

Baker's dozen? Worst crew ever.

this play-by-play guy is fucking horrible.

he's mis-stated a dozen times already, whether it's a player's name, or the yardage gained, or the points, etc.

I'd honestly rather hear Walton talk about butterfly migration

Almost every other word out of their mouths is incorrect.

Come on Mazzone. See the writing on the wall and do something different. Sweeps ain’t working.

the offense has a better chance of moving backwards far enough to allow the opposing D a safety than they do of moving foreward far enough to score points of their own.
