Arizona has gone from being a surging program to a swirling one, and that was never more evident than in a 21-10 loss to Washington.

The Wildcats were the surprise pick coming out of fall camp.

Arizona had an up-and-coming quarterback, a solid defense and was entering the third year under coach Mike Stoops.

The quarterback doesn't have much time to throw because there is no such thing as a running game.

Arizona went the second straight game with negative yards rushing. After being held to minus-16 against USC a week earlier, the Wildcats were minus-seven against the Huskies.

The defense, the same unit that held USC to one touchdown until the final minutes of a 20-3 loss, was exploited against Washington quarterback Isaiah Stanback. The Husky signal caller completed 10 straight passes in the second quarter to pile up 244 passing yards, two throwing scores and a 21-3 lead at halftime.

And as for this being Stoops' big year: The Wildcats are 2-3 after flopping in what he said was the "biggest game for the program since I've been here."

Arizona could go to the Rose Bowl this year....

Wow I cannot believe I actually typed that.  Then you look at their schedule.  They have Wash St. then go on the road for 3 of their last 4 including Cal, ASU, and USC.  Oregon will be their lone home game.  Man how bad does that fluke loss to Washington hurt right now?  But this team is pretty impressive.  ...(more)

(POLL) We are currently ranked 18th in the BCS. I have to wonder, where would we be ranked if we hadn't had that late-game collapse against Washington that was sealed with the unlucky bounce off Dean's leg that was returned for the TD?

Only 8 possible answers. Check the one you find most accurate.

Ranked # 23 by the AP Poll - Arizona breaks the top 25 for the first time since October 2000!  What a great time to make the top 25.  We have the week off to get healthy, then face Washington State in two weeks.  Who knows we can be in the top 20 or 15 by the time we hit the tough part of the schedule - I dare ask.... could this be the year we smell Roses???  (Just think if Gro ...(more)

Does anyone else notice how great Nick Foles is playing right now compared to top QBs? The guy is up there with the best of them even without the 2 extra games. Out of all QBs with over 100 pass attempts Foles is second to Texas Tech's Sheffield with a 73.9% completion rate. Now I'm not saying Foles is going to get the Heisman (so don't bash me for saying that) all I'm saying is that the guy ...(more)

Sounds crazy, but the UCLA game is a very important one in defining the Wildcat football season.   We have to have this win today to position ourselves as we tune-up against Washington State and then into the big part of the schedule.  Arizona should win this game toady, but that is what scares me the most- they have to be more intense on offense with Prince back they need to put ...(more)

So you all know I come on here to stir up some feelings. My last one (which I still believe) is that its time for Sonny to go. I must hand it to him I did see one new good play that last game with finally faking the bubble screen then throwing it up top to the receiver who normally blocks. I overestimated Scotts abilities due to what I had seen in practices when he had out performed Foles (even in ...(more)

I've always been a fan of the guy, but his team is getting schooled today. Not very inspiring considering this is clearly his most talented team.

There have been bad calls aplenty this year, but actually seeing it in person against Stanford this week somehow put more emphasis on it.  I'm just plain disgusted.  There are plenty of people who have been leveling serious complaints against officials in the Pac-10 for a long time, but so far this football season has been on another level.  I've never seen anything like it.  T ...(more)

I am SICK this morning after watching the AZ game last night.  Can anyone tell me why we didn't run the ball on first down instead of calling a bs pass play?  Washington  only had 2 timeouts left,  sorry it makes me sick to see the players go through such hard work in the off-season and it comes down to coaching with the AZ staff.  What the hell was STOOPS trying to to acc ...(more)

Can only speak for myself, but the game this weekend in Seattle looks to be really troublesome. The UW offense in particular looked good against Notre Dame last week, and face it, Jake Locker is a "money" player. At home against USC, the Huskies really showed well defensively. The UofA defense has been adequate but not really one of a typical Stoops caliber so far. With the game at home, ...(more)

The Good:  D.y.k.e.s called the perfect game for a green QB, and Foles absolutely delivered.  Nwoko was fabulous as well, and seeing Butler redshirt get pulled to the tune of some great runs, give me hope that our depth may keep us in contention.  Roberts continues to impress me with another great game.

The Bad:  We are getting devastated with injuries.  Grigs

Can someone please explain to me why you are going to call a pass play on first and ten with less than 3 minutes left in the 4th QT and you have the lead. Ever since this idiot has been here we have had to witness too many games that come to the wire like this instead of us ending them like we were supposed to! Games we could have won and games we barely won istead assuring the victory whe ...(more)

So, who wants Arizona to vent some frustration on Stanford this week?

Someone help me explain how Arizona is off the radar in the AP poll when Iowa went from being unranked at 3-0 to ranked in the upper half of the pole by going 4-0 (Two of the teams most division 1 contenders would beat)    Then to add insult to injury... ASU plays two high school teams, goes to Georgia and takes a loss there to start the season 2-1 and they are a blip on the AP scre ...(more)

This going to be a very interesting match up.  I haven't had a chance to watch Arizona play this year, but I saw that they beat UNA and Central Michigan both by over two touchdowns.  Iowa is finally starting to find its groove and will have a healthy offensive line for the first time this season, we were missing our all-american against ISU and two on the line against UNI.  Iowa has ...(more)
