18 to 10 rebound advantage for Purdue. Need to box out and hustle better.

AzCatFan2

Purdue can't miss. And when they do, they are killing us on the boards. Not a good recipe.

Fifita is getting some early Heisman love from ESPN. Called him the best freshman QB in all of FBS. https://www.espn.com/college-football/s ... e-football

For those worried Love wouldn't but into Tommy's system, today's numbers should stop those worries. 20 points on 13 shots, plus 5 assists to go along with 7 rebounds. And played excellent D. Fun game. We're relentless on both sides of the floor. Going to take a very good team playing a great 40 minu...

I'm of the belief that you can never have enough quality OL. It's rare when an OL makes it through a season without an injury, and bad depth here, and an entire offense can stall. While it's not an area of need, if a top flight OL wants to transfer in, we better keep a light on. Fisch has taken elem...

Fisch did a hell of a job. Worthy of COY. But DeBoer went undefeated and is the first PAC coach to take his team to the playoffs in how many years? Hard to argue he's not worth of COY too.

AzCatFan2

Ben Davis deserves a mention.

Thought we were a little rusty in the first half. Second half was fun to watch.

AzCatFan2

We should be fine. Just looking at the skill positions, we had players like Coleman step up and become a star this year. Speedy will also get plenty of PT next year, and I think he could have a breakout season next year. Same goes for Burnett at TE. Cowling was a difference make from day 1, and will...

State of WA Supreme Court has reversed the lower court decision to give Oregon State and WAZZU complete control of the PAC assets. I think this is good for us, but may handcuff the Beavers and Cougs as they attempt to rebuild the conference with WAC teams. Anyone else have a more informed opinion? h...

Keshod is the elite defender we were missing last year. Especially when Dalen Terry blew up at the combine and made the right decision to enter the draft. Throw in Keshod being a solid shooter, and we're getting more than expected. It also looks like KJ is having a blast out there, and enjoys playin...

Smith and Tate were exceptional athletes playing QB. Smith was also mature, having played a few years of minor league baseball. These guys were great system QBs where there were quick reads and the QB was expected to run. But neither really read defenses well, nor were they well skilled at going thr...

I have Gator family growing up in the state during the Emmitt Smith years. Florida this year looked a lot like Arizona last year. Number of close games with a big win over Tenn, with a transfer QB and a lot of young playmakers ending up with a 5-7 record. Year zero with Napier was different than yea...

AzCatFan2

Fisch should only be season 3 Lasso at this point. The winner who builds a great team culture that results in success on and off the field. Fisch is no longer season 1 Lasso, the "Fisch out of water" who is out of element and set up to fail. I have never been happier to be wrong about an Arizona coa...

AzCatFan2

Accuracy and great decision maker. Reads the field well and rarely makes the wrong throw. Only mistake was not reading the LB on the interception. But nearly perfect the rest of the game.

AzCatFan2

Happy for Bradley. Played a great game on D and hit the big shot. He's getting more comfortable out there, Pelle in foul trouble against Sparty could be a silver lining.

Typical Izzo MSU team. Hard nosed, physical, with some NBA talent mixed in. And we stood toe to toe with them. Bear Down!

AzCatFan2

It's a great point that we could very well be the highest ranked BIG12 team and the favorites going into next year. Get Arizona into the playoffs and any job is open. Or stay, and we build a statute in front of the stadium. Not a bad place to be, and good reason for Fische to stay at least one more ...

AzCatFan2

Fisch doesn't strike me as a guy who is only about money. Not too worried about Texas A&M. Fisch will make plenty of money on Tucson, where winning 8 games a year gives you a lifetime contract. At College Station, that gets you fired. If a real blue blood backs up the Brink Truck, or if Alma mater F...

AzCatFan2

The last TD, I believe, was a thank you to JDL. Likely his last throw in an Arizona uniform at Arizona Stadium. Been a good soldier, not complaining, and helping Fifita during games.

Nice to physically dominate Utah. Not something we've been able to say. Bear Down!

AzCatFan2

I like my crow served served with some deep fried Fisch. Thought the hire was bad too. Happy to be proven wrong.

AzCatFan2

Only bad thing about playing Duke is rooting for them to help our SOS. Feels dirty.

AzCatFan2

Bradley's minutes should be limited in my opinion too. But three games into a career is way to early to really sense potential. I don't think Boswell really blossomed last year until the calendar flipped in January. Then, by the end of the season, we all saw the huge upside. And so far this year, Bo...

AzCatFan2

Jordan and Ernie make a good team. I really like the insights former coaches have. Absolutely agree! Jordan is easy to listen to Jordan has a great voice, and is finding his footing calling games. I hope he has a very long career. I like Ernie too. Voice isn't great, but his knowledge of the game m...

AzCatFan2

Cameron Indoor hangover to start the game. It happens. But already have more points in the first 9 minutes of the 2nd half than we had in the first. I also hope Jordan Kent gets hired by a bigger network after this season is over. He's a decent announcer with a great voice. Could really be great. Ju...

AzCatFan2

It was the let down performance we all feared. Didn't look sharp most of the afternoon. But never let Colorado get away and get a big lead, kept fighting for 60 minutes, and gutted out one heck of a difficult win on the road. Bear Down!

AzCatFan2

If Love can contribute 5 assists a game, and only take 8 shots, no hate. Of course, this was against Morgan St. and he played barely more than a half. Still, have to like those numbers. As for lacking big man depth, this is why picking up Keshad was huge. He's only 6'7", but has the strength and ath...

AzCatFan2

Duke may have size, but I think we have a quickness advantage. We also have depth and can play a little faster on D and not worry so much about foul trouble except at C. We turned Morgan State over time and time again, and if we can force Duke to play faster than they want, and get some easy buckets...

AzCatFan2

First, agreed the tackle by Maclaughlin on the interception was one of the best plays of the game. The int was a miscommunication. Fifita thought Mac would sit in the zone, where Mac read the play right and kept running to the open corner. After the play, Fifita went over to Mac and said a mea culpa...

AzCatFan2

Winning in college football for a full year requires depth. Not a shock that even with the influx of talent in Boulder, there are some serious weak positions with little to no depth. We lost Wiley for a few games this year and didn't miss a beat because of the guys we had in the RB room. Colorado is...

AzCatFan2

Fisch has also moved his family around a lot in his career. This year alone has bought Jedd another 2, maybe 3 years at minimum in Tucson. Have another good year next year, and he'll have a lot of latitude to have a rebuilding year or two. And agreed, win a conference championship, and we'll erect a...

There's not a Gator fan I know who would want the Meyer circus back in town. I’m not pulling that out of my ass. I have two friends who are huge fans, one of whom is a minor booster. One texted me “Do you think I regret those national championships? Ha!” I’ve also seen stuff on Twitter, but I don’t...

There's not a Gator fan I know who would want the Meyer circus back in town. And I grew up in Florida, with a Gator brother, two cousins, and a bunch of Gator friends. My two college choices were UF or UA. Most want to give Napier at least another year. Two years is not enough to evaluate a coach. F...

I was worried about the let down against Oregon St., and to Fisch and crew's credit, we were ready to play and stood toe to toe with a very good Beaver team. UCLA is very good too, but not better than Oregon State in my opinion. If we're ready to play again, have to like the way we're executing on b...

AzCatFan2

By the end of last year, Oregon State was perhaps the most dangerous team in the PAC. Great D, very good running game, a little questionable at QB. They went out and got DJ U. from Clemson at QB, and there's a good reason they are ranked #11. They are solid from top to bottom this year. We need to a...

AzCatFan2

Arizona needs to hire coaches on their way up, not on their way back down from better positions. Smith was at Tulane before he stepped up to Arizona. Tomey at Hawaii, and this is Fisch's first full time head coaching job after 3 games as interim coach at UCLA. Coaches on their way down included Mack...

AzCatFan2

Heart and guts. What a game! Series tied, and the D-Backs have all the momentum.

AzCatFan2

D-backs are a year early arriving on the scene. Lots of young talent and should be a playoff contender for the next few years while they can still afford it. Also not a huge surprise if they flame out against the Phils. The Dodgers are the D-backs white whale, and they swept them. Playing with nothi...

AzCatFan2

It's a team game. The D getting turnovers and 3 and outs helps the O. The O having long drives and converting on 3rd downs helping the D rest helps the D. We were 10-17 on 3rd down, and 1-1 on 4th down. In contrast, WSU was 4-11 on 3rd down, and 0-3 on 4th down. Throw in a +3 stat on turnovers, and ...

AzCatFan2

Fifita runs this offense like a conductor reads sheet music. He knows where everyone is and checks down accordingly and makes positive plays JDL gets happy feet and dances around missing the last couple options and then try’s to make something happen off script that often leads to negative plays. O...

Who in the Bear Down are these guys wearing the Block A, and can they please show up every game? Just a pleasure to watch!

AzCatFan2

Loop has the leg. Distance from 50 wasn't the issue. It just hooked. Tough call. Unless Loop makes it and we go on to win, there are going to be complaints. Make it, and the way Williams and SC were going, they likely score a TD and win in regulation. The bad call was the play fake and deep shot int...

AzCatFan2

Penalties, poor play calling, blown coverages, missed assignments, and more. These are the difference between beating good teams and losing. I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of moral victories. Time to win some actual games! Yes we pay hard and don't quit, but if Fisch can't fix the li...

If you can play, the NFL will find you. And Singer can play, though I personally never thought of him higher than a late 2nd day, and more likely a 3rd day draft choice. I think Cowing will likely go higher, and TMac, once eligible, is a potential 1st day pick. TMac lead all true freshmen with catch...

JDL is a true gunslinger. High risk, but high reward. You never know what you are going to get play to play. Fifita just seems more poised and makes better decisions most of the time. The int was a bad throw, and there were a few others against UW that he likely completes in high school, but not aga...

AzCatFan2

With JDL, as the saying goes, there are 3 sides to every story. We know the victim's version. We don't and can't know the boy's side. And without that, we'll never know the truth. All we know is those who know the most and were charged with punishment were content with not charging as adults, and le...

AzCatFan2

I think the best way to slow down UW is to play ball control and 2-deep, keeping everyone in front of you. Isn't the most exciting, but if Penix has one weakness, it's he'll occasionally go for a homerun ball instead of taking what the D gives them. Try to keep the UW offense off the field, and make...

AzCatFan2

Thank you ECC. What was the statement from the AD? Two sentences that boiled down to we are aware of the issue and JDL is going to be a member of the team. Seemed incredibly dismissive of any concerns the students, community, or alumni might have and reeked of “we’re here to win football games and ...

AzCatFan2

Have to disagree about how the staff handled JDL. I’m glad you’re happy with it. Does that mean everyone has to be? No. But there's no good reason to be unhappy with it. Oh, I see… Like I said before. No NIL, no money for JDL, no reason for the alleged victim to sue, and no public knowledge of the ...

But the facts we do know is JDL could have been charged as an adult. And not only was he not charged...
