It feels weird having a kickoff at 1230pm

Wow targeting right off the bat. Great job Stanford!

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 12:43 pm

He got him with the shoulder. Not targeting.

I don't know of the line is playing better, or if Stanford just doesn't want to blitz Tate. But they are making it easy for our offense to move right now.

Nice pass!

Nothing like a little pine time to get your head straight.

Too bad they fizzled in the red zone.

Looks like Stanford needs an even smaller stadium.

The draw call on 3rd down was garbage.

Very Dick Tomey-ish who they just showed

Stanford is second to last in the PAC in the red zone. You wouldn't know it today.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 12:56 pm

Stanford is last in PAC 12 in red zone production and easily scored there.

A good deal of those statistics were compiled without Costello in the starting lineup.

Of course Costello managed to get healthy for the UA game

'bout time.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:08 pm

Caught a break there that the TE couldn't catch that pass.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:09 pm

Gunnell in.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:11 pm

Oh look, good things happen when Gunnell is in.

No more Tate please.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:12 pm

I believe the Tate era just ended

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:12 pm

TD Wildcats!

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:12 pm

I'm sorry, why isn't gunnell starting?

Rather the Gunnell era has begun.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:14 pm

Got home and turned on a stream just in time to see Gunnell come in.

Nice drive and finish.

let's keep it going!

No shit! You can’t throw a better TD. That was beautiful....

Phylek · Post by **Phylek** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:15 pm

That was a completely different offense with Gunnell in.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:17 pm

2 good plays by the defense....followed by prevent defense rush 3 on third and long.....and gives upt he first down.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:23 pm

Garbage Defense.

Dropping so many into coverage on those third downs longer than 5 yards.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:24 pm

that's a good catch by the furd receiver.

time for Gunnell and the O to respond

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:26 pm

Who coaches safeties? They are terrible.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:29 pm

Funny how they can drop into coverage and take away the pass, but our guys can't do that.

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:32 pm

I hope Yates doesn’t return next year.

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:37 pm

Castello is a top QB right? Ha.

We need to realize that its not just coaching...........most of the issue is simply lack of talent.

Fehoko has gotten behind his defender 3 times already (thats just lack of speed at the DB spot)

Until our recruiting gets upgraded it doesn't really matter who's calling the shots.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:39 pm

Dumpster fire defense. Embarrassing.

I'd say that drive illustrates the talent gap between the 2 teams.

Stanford just lined up and ran it down our throats. big gains on almost every running play. just manhandled our d

furd O opened holes so big even I could hobble through them

Seems to be a reoccurring theme. Dumpster fire.

Fully disagree. No coach get perfect players, it’s the coach job to recruit, coach, and scheme. Sure recruiting at Arizona sucks but when players get beat at every level it’s the coach. CBs rant getting beat by just speed. They can’t press the WR without missing, they bite on various moves, etc. same with the Stanford running game. Stanford is putting two bodies on each lineman pushing them into LB. that’s not on the DL, that on LBs going into the wrong holes or sitting back. Or the bad angles safeties are taking.

It’s like a team that hires a quality special teams coach versus a rookie coach. Good special team coaches don’t need talent to cover up their flaws.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:47 pm

big surprise, can't stop them on third down.

Who would do better. Arizona defense players being coached by Alabama Defense coach or Alabama players being coached by Arizona defense coaches? Look at USC and UCLA, they constantly get best talent but still can’t do anything with it.

Wrong again.......Fehoko just got behind his man for the 4th time today (for a TD)

I suggest you go back and look at PAC12 recruiting rankings over the past 5 years. Its quite telling

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:49 pm

Waiting to hear the excuse on why we gave up a touchdown there.

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:51 pm

I’m not arguing that recruiting doesnt suck.I am disagreeing that coaching means less.

Basically Arizona is badly coached and badly recruiting. Fix bad coaching and you eventually fix bad recruiting.

I can't tell if you're being serious here.

Give our team Alabama defensive players and they'd do much better than Alabama would do with our defensive players.

It's not even close.

There are ample examples of coaches who come in, win with the previous regime's players, and then can't repeat that success.

quality of player is the most important factor.

nobody here is arguing that our coaching is good, by the way
