I'm feeling really good for this game. RR is the best coach this program has ever had and he along with his staff is the best in the conference and certainly up there as far as in the country goes. In RR I trust.

Are you ready to give us all your final score prediction?

What good does "calling out DC for fear" do? It does not make you look good or tough, just so you are aware.

It's only Monday. I have taken note of your predictions thus far. Cracks me up how every week you think the Arizona D will give up more than it actually does. I'm sure this week will be no different.

Oh, really? Well, let's see....I said UTSA would score 24 and they scored 32. I said Nevada would score 28 and they scored 22. I said NAU would score 20 and they scored 13. Not too shabby there DC.

Well, sorry about that. Not 22 but 20. Thanks for the correction. I've watched every game except I missed the 2nd half to the NAU game because I fell asleep.

Gladiator Cat · Post by **Gladiator Cat** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 4:35 pm

Its kind of strange for me this week because I'm not pessimistic or optimistic in any real sense. I think its a pretty even match up, with a slight edge going to UCLA on talent alone.

I just feel its time to stop all of talk, and just man up. If your a 2nd or 3rd stringer on the depth chart or even a walk-on thrown into the mix, it doesn't matter anymore because when the game starts you have to go make stops on D, and make plays on O.

This game is going to be won or lost in the trenches. The big ugly's will set the tone and our defensive front is still not much to write home about. Our big boys are getting better at pressure but still not where they need to be at this level.

Who ever controls the line of scrimmage will be your winner.

On a side note I really, really hope they don't bring back Scooby too soon for a hyped up game. Re-injuring the knee will result in being done for the year.

Last but not least Jarrard Randall is freaking greased lightening fast. The kid has an extra gear that most players only dream of. He is a certifiable home run hitter every time he touches the ball.

We have got to find a way to that kid the ball outside of the QB position because we all know Anu is not coming out of this game unless injured.

As we all know injuries are apart of the game and everyone has them. It's suck it up time and I expect this to be a highly contested hard hitting game that will produce even more injuries on both sides.

You know Rich Rod and the staff wants this game bad, going 0-4 against the Bruins and Mora in the RR era is a close second in dislike only to losing to TG and ASS Crack U.

This will be a hell of a game and the winner will control the early season PAC12 South chess board.

Im not sure Arizona has scored 38 points combined in three previous years.

I think Arizona should win this game, but they could suffer what USC went through. You beat up on a bunch of terrible schools and when you face a program that is much bigger, stronger, and faster than previous opponents, you are unable to adjust.

You're trying way to hard to spin this the other way. Seriously. You don't think Arizona is going to win anymore than I think ucla is going to win. Don't compare us to SC as there's nothing comparable between Sark and RR. One coach has beaten Oregon 2 times in 3 years while the other coach has never sniffed at beating Oregon.

Interesting. Let's see, BYU struggles to beat a Nebraska team that hasn't looked good at all thus far. They then struggle to beat a Boise St team that didn't look good against a UW team that couldn't find the end zone to save it's life. They then have the lead against Ucla for most of the game and lose at the end. So is BYU really that good or are the teams they've played not that good?

Ucla played Unlv who hasn't won a game thus far. Virginia? They played ND tough and beat William and Mary by 6. Bill and Mary put up 29 on VA which is 5 points less than what Ucla did.

DC-You are making me nervous. You are off it man. The king of smack is holding back. Disappointing. BTW DC....Sark beat RR at home last year. Tough to trash talk when score board says different. Oregon? They're a north team. RR hasn't beat UCLA either. This year might be different but I think Bug had a pretty solid take.

I don't think you wrote that with a straight face. An Arizona fan discussing the merits of someone else's OOC schedule? C'mon. UCLA has the best Non-Conference win in the conference with their win over BYU and you're trying to discount it? If our positions were switched, you'd be saying I was so full of shit, even toilet paper wouldn't touch me. But hey, let's question Nebraska and BSU, but UTSA and NAU, I mean, they won some games, so they aren't so bad. Oh wait, UTSA has looked like total crap against OK State and Kansas State. But you would see me trying to spin anything. I'm not a spin doctor. Everyone knows I'm much more passive aggressive. I'd say something like Arizona's defense isn't quite that of UC Davis' defense.

It's stupid to compare coaches, I agree. I mean, RichRod lost to both Sark and WSU in the same season. Was the best coaching staff in the country just taking the night off? Or do we only compare games that we want to. But your coaches comparison is mostly a red herring, especially using Oregon as an example. You know why? Jim Mora hasn't beaten Oregon or Stanford, yet he's owned RichRod. It was a pointless tangent, designed to take away from the fact that Arizona has yet to play a real opponent and as before, if we were switched, you'd be endlessly pointing out this fact. Like the point about UCLA starting school this week. It's a valid one, but it would be as useful as me changing directions and talking about academic rankings and school.

Good luck on Saturday night. Please keep the spin coming. With as tough as Ucla's OOC schedule apparently was, I'm surprised the line is only 3.5? With who we played it should've been 13.5 shouldn't it? Here's some spin for you Bug, what's Arizona record as a home dog in the RR era? Against Ok State, Oregon and SC we not only covered but won straight up. Last year against SC we pushed and if not for the last second missed FG he would be 4-0.

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 8:19 pm

For what its worth I think we win but with a score of like 45-42 as our defense will get run over by UCLA but think we force Rosen into a couple turnovers which is the difference. No way our offense doesn't score points at home.

I also think we will then go up to Stanford and get exposed. That game scares me a lot more as I could see us getting the big win at home then pulling the crap we always pull and losing the next game badly to get brought down to earth.

I think our defense without Scobby will get exposed in the Pac-12 but if he comes back strong, we should be ok there. I do think our offense (outside of just a marginal OL) is the best I have ever seen with so much talent and experience everywhere.

I also think the lack of depth at LB shows that our 2014 and 2015 classes for linebackers were big misses outside of franklin contributing later on. We need about 2-3 more LB's for this next class. BUT going into the season i thought we did have good depth at LB with TuriTuri, Scobby, Miller, Matthews, Ippolito, Sir Thomas, Gregory, Ware, Smothers, Cobb, Franklin, etc. Losing Ippolito was huge as he would have plugged Scobby's role well. Not the coaches fault injuries hit us so badly there, I mean we had the best MLB in the country coming back with probably the best MLB back up in the Pac-12. Too lose both is not solely on the coaches

Thats all, beat the bruins

qwertyus · Post by **qwertyus** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 8:28 pm

Are some posters really trying to buff up our OOC schedule? Compared to UCLA's? I mean, at least I can see that with ASU, but UCLA? Come on. We've been getting better each game, that's about as much as you can reasonably say about our team. UCLA played a harder OOC and they look good, but they've got a true Freshman QB playing in his first PAC-12 road game against an opportunistic defense, and we're catching him off of a bad previous week. That's basically how both teams shake out from their OOC, and everything else is just haggling.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 9:17 pm

Not sure what to make of this game yet. UCLA has better talent on its overall roster and there strength is there OLine. I keep thinking they will just run it down our throats and we will have to committ so many guys to stop the run that we will make Rosen look good through the air.

I then drift off and think we have the best offense in the league but I then wake up and realize Mora and company have done a great job against our offense the last 3 years. Only Denker and his run threat seemed to bother UCLA and Anu just isn't a threat.

No doubt our team and fans will be lathered up and loud and I do hope we just have an explosion on offense and we outscore the Bruins. If we win I think the game goes over 62 (the over/under). 38-34 cats but I really don't know

Highly doubt it. RR vs. Shaw and both of them have their guys in their programs now. Ask other coaches who they'll take in that one.

One thing that I like about this game - UCLA is coming in ranked in the top ten. Coming to Arizona is dangerous for any top ten team.

What's to Buff up? It is what it is. At the same time I'm not sure Ucla's is all that great either. BYU isn't 0-3 but how many teams hit one Hail Mary in a season let alone two? Virginia struggled to beat William and Mary by 5 points. Unlv is ranked 127th of 128 by Phil Steele. You say it was a harder schedule and I'm not arguing it, but by how much and does that difference really mean much? Honestly, it's to UA's advantage that they played a physical BYU on Saturday while we played NAU. We rested a bunch of guys but also had the chance to play a lot of guys it was the best of both worlds.

The first 3 games are really the exhibition season and the key is to improve each and every game which I think we did. The rubber hits the road on Saturday.

Both teams pretty Damn good. It's a fair duel. AZ at home, should have the edge, No excuses.

Such a great opportunity for Rich Rod to get that win. When good teams win...

Carcassdragger · Post by **Carcassdragger** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:47 am

I think one of the keys for Arizona to win is for Anu to find his targets early instead of overthrowing receivers for at least a quarter as usual. If we get behind, I'm not sure our D can get enough stops for us to catch up.

If he can hit his targets early, I think we win.

MrMeow · Post by **MrMeow** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 8:14 am

I loved Glenn's comment Saturday. He said, and I paraphrase, that he has known a lot of coaches, and one outstanding quality of RichRod is he always thinks he has an answer. How true. We have all seen this, and I believe this was THE key to last season's success. I also believe the same can be said of Coach Casteel. Above all else, these guys know their shit, and win or not, will always put the team in the best position to do so.

btfd16 · Post by **btfd16** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 8:16 am

I have a gut feeling UCLA will win, but I just don't see us repeating a 37% completion percentage and 2.6 yards per carry.. The only question is can the defense perform well enough to hold them under 20 again.. Home field should help but LB depth is still scary and as much as I want Scoob to play this game, I'd rather have him 100% the rest of the season.. That being said I think he plays limited because he is too much of a competitor to sit out.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 8:27 am

I believe that UCLA has the better team.... but in RichRod I trust. I really think we find a way to win this 1. Anu and Nick are playing amazing ball right now.... RichRod hinting he's going to use Randall in this game (not as qb) and I gotta believe Scooby is going to have this defense fired up even if he isn't playing in this game.

Go Cats!

RazorsEdgeAZ · Post by **RazorsEdgeAZ** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 8:32 am

Not sure he knows anything being associated with ESPN...

But it will be AZ trainers - medical personnel that will clear Scooby or not. Don't think Scooby or coaches have that much pull in deciding. But I would expect if trainers give Scooby any clearance, that Scooby will play, BUT limited (or at least dressed). For the emotional boost

It didn't really sound like a felony offense from the get go, but the 'it's being dropped from a felony to misdemeanor so we are instantly reinstating him...'oh, are we happening to play possibly our most important PAC game this weekend?

It's probably multiple things that came together. It's a big game, having db issues, being able to successfully lobby the DA to drop the charge to misdemeanor so you feel like you have some cover to make the move...all of that comes together to create the perfect storm where morals get flushed down the toilet.

Adams will be rusty and not thoroughly game ready conditionally. At least not a full game - up tempo. Even IF he were to play. The Moreau injury more significant towards the game.

MrBug708 · Post by **MrBug708** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 9:53 am

The felony charges were declined yesterday. Why is anyone shocked he's back with the team? He's already been off the team for three weeks. I agree with Moreau being out for the year, he'll likely play now, but there is nothing nefarious about him coming back now. The DA had moved the court case hearing back three weeks originally. Pretty sure it wasn't to dick Arizona over, unless you mean keeping a kid off the practice field longer somehow hurts Arizona more than UCLA.

Denzel Fisher has looked great in games so he will likely start

Did Art lose his job? We all know the answer and let's just say it's a good thing for Art he was 12-1 last year and not 6-6, 'cause if he had been 6-6 you probably get a statement from the AD saying "We hold ourselves to higher standards here at Baylor..."

But at 12-1...not so much.
