    Football game talk: Utah v arizona

    Ok, let's get this started.

    First off, senioritis had a fabulous Tucson journey a few years back. Recommendations for restaurants, sights, or rock gardens are greatly appreciated.

    Second, this is a game of two unknowns. The Utes are 3-0 but the teams they beat do not look good. Arizona beat utep by one thousand points, but this utep squad is putrid.

    Third of all, I'll be in Tucson on Friday! I've got this one guys.

    Tucson is home to the oldest Mexican Restaurant in the US and its phenomenal. El Charro Cafe in downtown Tucson.

    also the patio at the Star Pass Marriott is very tasty (well not the patio itself but their food)

    Thanks. El charro is definitely on the list. Is the star pass Marriot a Marriot hotel. Tough for me to get excited about that. But when in Tucson...

    I'm impressed. That is a long way for you to travel.

    1. anybody heard anything about Chase Hansen's status?

    2. heard McBride say this am that Ariz ought to be able to defend against our new O, even though they are undersized and young, because they see it every day in practice. Not sure that is true, but wouldn't the reverse also be true? Can we defend the qb option better because we've seen it every day?

    2. No, we can never defend the qb option.

    How often do 1s practice against 1s during the week anyway? It's one thing to practice against Huntley, quite another for our defense to practice against whomever is the scout team QB this week.

    I respect the hell out of Rodriguez (and Zona's SID) for releasing injury reports like these. They should be the standard in college football.

    Well, presumably you practice against it all spring and summer

    Only got 3, but a 91 yard drive when Arizona was heading in for the tie is nice.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Gotta put a drive together here to start the second half. If we do, we can keep them at arms length in the second half. Need to pressure their QB and force him into more bad throws.

    Anyone else notice AZ’s RB is moving towards the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped?

    Got a conference road win vs a team that usually gives us trouble in a game where we lose our QB and a defensive star. Can't be unhappy about that. But, man, we got bailed out by several awful Dawkins throws and an epic Wilson drop.

    That was the easiest remaining game on our schedule, right?

    Maybe ASU is the other one?

    I don't know why any Utah fan believed that winning games in the PAC 12 was going to be easier than in the past simply by again changing OC's. This conference is tough. Every team has talented players and good coaches. Every team practices, watches film and does things to defend the other and to exploit the others defensive weaknesses. 4-0.

    As Michael Wilbon likes to say: "They've got guys on their side on scholarship too, and coaches that are paid to try and beat you."

    Fans are people. People, collectively speaking, are biased and emotional.

    This is the first time since joining the P12 that I didn't think Arizona had better athletes at every position.

    Guidry said it was a film study INT. He saw tendencies in film, jumped the route, and the ball was where he thought it would be.

    Amazing coming from a Freshman.
