Arizona @ Cal 11/14

[O]

Big game for the Cats.
Can they hold serve?

how will the bet pay off if results in a tie with the points?

Sounds like Gameday is coming to Tucson if the Cats can pull it off. Such a big game for the program, I have no clue what to expect. Having watched Arizona Football for the last twenty years I'm not too optimistic but of course would love to be proven wrong.

If you're asking if one team won or lost by the three points, I would pay both sides.
However, that would be at the discretion of the person that originated the event.

That's why I always add .5 points to the spread. Then there is no question about who wins.

Anyone have a working link to this game?

10-9 UofA at the half. Offense seemed to turn on in the 2nd quarter. Hope to build off that

Awful play by Foles probably just cost us any chance at the Rose Bowl.

 

[TJ]

Well....I guess no roses for us

argh

Ouch!
That one hurt.

Tonight's game is exactly what we've come to expect from a Stoops-coached team. When expectations are high and the pressure is on, the players/coaches fold.

Foles looked very human tonight. I could not for the life of me understand why he was chucking the ball down field that much in the beginning. That is not Foles' game. He does better with short slants and bubble screens. I saw one screen the entire game.

One things for sure, we could have used Grigsby tonight. Running game really wasnt a factor.

Play calling was real suspect. No bubble screens, lots of rolling out and throwing deep. That and too many two yard runs into the middle of the line.

Defense was okay, but everything else was awful. Poor special teams, too many penalties that killed UA drives or extended Cal drives, inability to protect or get ground game moving, dropped passes and errant throws. I'm shocked we were even in position to win the game.

Couldn't agree more. I was at the game and there was just a lack of energy from the Cats the entire night. Not to mention the normally good Crier, shanked two punts. One that gave Cal great position to score on the very next play.

The only positive play of the night on special teams was when Cobb almost ran back the kickoff in the fourth quarter. If it wasn't for that pesky kicker tripping him with his foot, he would have been gone.

As for the defense, I dunno. It seemed like every time the Cats scored to take the lead the defense allowed a scoring drive the very next drive. Hard to win games like that when the offense never gets a chance to extend its lead.

Agreed, said it was just okay though. The defense did keep us in the game for the whole 60 minutes while the offense and special team bumbled around the field. Nick Foles and the people kicking the ball need to get it together.

The Pac-10 scenario is not shaping up well for Arizona. Looks like 7-5 lands us in San Diego for the Poinsettia.

EDIT - And you're right about the playcalling, it was abhorrent. We seemingly made no effort to get our guys into space and seemed to prefer beating Cal straight up which is not how this offense is going to be successful. It's not like we're ASU or UCLA - Arizona has guys that can make plays.

Wish we would've had Gronkowski obviously, Cal was playing at the LOS so much he would've gone nuts on the seam routes.
