Vegas just made RR's job a lot easier. Wonder if this is the week that we see Randall? I say that because BC ran read option all game long and put up 452 yards rushing against SC. From the FWIW files - RR is 3-0 as a Home Dog ATS since he's been here at Arizona.azcat49 wrote:What we are a home dog to an unranked team? Looks like we believe but Vegas doesn't
Has to be the first time in history that a top 10 team AT HOME is a dog against an unranked opponent

That's an interesting thought there. You've got that much athleticism sitting there waiting for a chance to play. Plus if you can get the SC safeties to flinch on a run fake, Randall can throw the ball a long long way.dc4azcats wrote:Vegas just made RR's job a lot easier.

I only found two games where the above is true so I'm not sure where the 3rd game is? In both cases though the upset occurred at home and we went out on the road the next week. Huge difference here where the upset occurred on the road and we're at home the next week.Merkin wrote:Ben Hansen just posted this on Facebook:
HANDLING PROSPERITY: In each of the last three seasons (2011-14), an unranked Arizona team has upset a Top 10-ranked opponent, and each time, UA lost the next week. In fact, not only is UA 0-3 in games following their major upsets, the Wildcats have been outscored by a combined 166-62 in those games. MORE: Arizona has pulled off at least one upset victory every season dating back to 2000.
yup, feel the same too.EastCoastCat wrote:I've been watching UA football for a LONG time and I have a very good feeling about this game for some crazy bat ass reason.
The writer has a point. USC is getting kinda screwed here. Not that I care.LOS ANGELES -- Did extra practice and film study time by Arizona State help lead up to the Sun Devils' last play, a 46-yard Hail Mary victory at USC on Saturday night in the Coliseum?
The Sun Devils, trailing by nine points with just under three minutes remaining and no timeouts left, found a way to exploit some fundamental lapses in the Trojans' defense and position themselves for a miracle 38-34 comeback win.
Even before USC's Saturday night's Pac-12 South Division meltdown against ASU, there's been a growing conspiracy theory, as it pertains to the Trojans' Pac-12 scheduling, specifically in the Pac-12 South Division.
The conspiracy issue?
The issue is that every Pac-12 South team that plays the Trojans has either a full bye week or extra days after a previous Thursday night game to prepare for the Trojans. In kind, USC hasn't been given equal scheduling treatment.

That's interesting but at the same time the UA coachers were out recruiting on Friday night after the Oregon game. Saturday they took off - players had both Friday and Saturday off with everybody coming back to work on Sunday. I get what the writer is saying but I'm not sure it's actually leading to extra film time etc. Extra rest? Certainly. Extra film time? I guess that's up for debate.azgreg wrote:Have USC Trojans received equal Pac-12 scheduling treatment?

I thought the part you quoted was the entire article, my mistake.azgreg wrote:You didn't read the article did you?Salty wrote:If they want fair scheduling, stop playing Notre Dame.
Again, that's not what the article is about. Every Pac-12 South opponent for USC gets extra days before they play USC. For example, they played Saturday, but we played on Thursday giving us a few more days to prepare.Salty wrote:I thought the part you quoted was the entire article, my mistake.azgreg wrote:You didn't read the article did you?Salty wrote:If they want fair scheduling, stop playing Notre Dame.
Regardless, don't the Cali school have a requirement that they all play each other every season, no matter what? And then USC has to play Notre Dame, and that can lead to conflicts.
That's not a recipe for flexible scheduling.
Yes, I understand that.azgreg wrote:Again, that's not what the article is about. Every Pac-12 South opponent for USC gets extra days before they play USC.

After we win 3 Rose Bowls and a natty then maybe I'll feel bad about quasi-unfair advantages against USC (or ASU).azgreg wrote:Have USC Trojans received equal Pac-12 scheduling treatment?

I understand what you are saying and as usual you are off base. USC plays the same number of conference games as everybody else. The article goes into the fact that their opponent in southern division games always have extra time to get ready. The fact that they have to play all the California teams and Notre Dame is irrelevant.Salty wrote:Yes, I understand that.
My point... Which I will now repeat for the third time...
Is that requiring a schedule that consists of all three other Cali schools, and Notre Dame, does not provide the drafters of the schedule flexibility to create an advantageous schedule for SC. So, therefore, SC's gripes are with themselves, because without those requirements, the schedule could be easier to create.
Really? You don't think that having irregular and non-negotiable scheduling demands would create a disadvantageous schedule?azgreg wrote:I understand what you are saying and as usual you are off base.

The fact that they play Stanford and Cal 6 out of 6 years instead of 4 out of 6 years puts no more strain on their schedule than any other Pac-12 school. Notre Dame might, but they've been playing each other so long and USC is a main part of Notre dame's schedule it's not a factor. The fact that you don't comprehend this is not surprising, as a matter of fact after reading your posts for some time it's become a standard.Salty wrote:Really?

Ok then.
"Well, we’re 5-0. We’re one win away from bowl eligibility, I guess. I think it’s hopefully a shot of confidence that we can play against a really good team. We still have a lot of things to clean up," - Rodriguez on where Arizona is after the Oregon game, via GoDucks.com.
"Getting that win shows that we can play 60 minutes. We knew we were going into a battle, but that’s Arizona football," - Jones-Grigsby on beating Oregon, via GoDucks.com.

Have to give Sark a little credit there. That's a good call about 1st down offense. Our defense looks a lot weaker when defending 2 and 5, 3 and 2 as opposed to 3rd and longs.ANGCatFan wrote:Sark's Sunday night press availability.
