After the game at Iowa, RauRaur optimism hit a career low (not counting the John Mackovic era).  Then on came Nick Foles and his locks of greatness.  Him and his flowing hair picked apart the Beaver secondary, and fully took advantage of Arizona’s depth at receiver.  Nine different receivers caught the ball, and Arizona’s offense [...]

The Matt Scott experiment has been paused for now.  The former “quarterback of the future” will now be second string, giving Michigan State transfer Nick Foles his first shot at leading the offense. Scott was definitely in above his head last week, and going into our first conference game, our offense needs a change of [...]

Very rough weekend.  Looking as bad as we did against Iowa and then hearing the official word that Gronk is out for the year (2010 Heisman!!!!) really hurts.  Going into our first conference game against a very good Oregon State team on the road is terrifying.  Then again, it was Matt Scott’s first time on [...]

“Robbie’s out for Saturday,” Stoops said. “We’ll make some kind of decision here on what to do next over the next couple of days but he won’t play Saturday against Iowa.”
The glorious return has been cancelled, and after that quote, it might be cancelled for a long while.  Gronk adds a superior presence in a [...]

It hasn’t been the prettiest wins, but nonetheless the ‘Cats are undefeated and are currently the co-national champions of the 2009 football season.  Coming up next is another co-national champion in the Iowa Hawkeyes, in what will be our biggest game of the year to date.  Iowa started the season ranked in the top-25, but [...]

Everyone has talked about how Arizona has a strong defense this year.  And Dan LeFevour has only made them look better.  After being shut down by the Wildcat’s defense last week, it looks like Central Michigan and QB LeFevour are back on track.  LeFevour’s 328 yards passing and 3 TD’s was enough to take down [...]

Well not yet… But if Arizona wants to reenter relevance in the college football world, the answer is obvious.  Mike Stoops has to name Matt Scott the starter for the University of Arizona this year.
We do not want to take anything away from Nick Foles.  The guy is a solid pocket passer who will make [...]

30 days still seems too long, but thankfully football starts today!! That’s right, the newcomers have already reported and today at 6:15 AM the Wildcats hit Salpointe Catholic High School for their first practice of fall camp.  The camp will hopefully answer some position battle questions (Scott or Foles!?!) and increase RauRaur’s optimism, if that [...]

Did you think the addition of Sean Miller to Tucson only meant better basketball, more beer drinking, and getting more girls (this has not happened yet, but with Sean Miller it is bound to happen right)?  Well you were wrong. After hearing Sidiki is coming to play for Sean Miller, it looks like football players [...]

The last time Arizona won as a double-digit favorite was in 2003. Note that I said “won,” not “covered.” That game, a 42-7 blowout against UTEP, also marked John Mackovic’s last victory as the Wildcat’s head coach — he was fired four consecutive losses later. With that in mind, maybe beating hapless Idaho 70-0 (easily [...]
