The U of A Wildcats play host to the I-AA Lumberjacks of Stephen F. Austin.

Both teams are coming off of bad losses - UA 45-3 at LSU, SFA lost to Division 2 Delta State, and are 0-2.

I think they should try just for a win, whether its by 1 point or 21 points. They have to be tired of all those moral victories

They need to run the freaking ball. Tui might be out for the game, so that should help Canales establish a running game.

Our O line needs to work better as a unit, because we cant lose Tui on another big hit like the 1st play of the game at LSU.

I expect us to rush for 150 yards atleast. If Tui plays I hope we see a 250 3 TD and 150 yard rushing day atleast.

We'll win - that cannot be debated by even the most delusional ASU fans. Like NAU, SFA is not only a Div 1AA team but a bad one. However Arizona needs to win convincingly just to have some sort of confidence going into USC which is shaping up to be a blowout right now. There's mnore than enough time and an easy enough schedule the rest of the way to regroup and get into the postseason at one of the NobodyGivesACrap.com bowls and buy a young team a few extra weeks of practice.

I'd like to see Chris Jennings get some carries as well as the talented trio of frosh WRs get some action. Henry has always been terrible and this year is no exception. The guy's gotta million dollar body and a ten cent brain and his dancing behind the line is absolutely killing drives. There's no reason a guy as big and fast as he is should not get at least two yards after contact in the collegiate game. But my biggest problem offensively of which there are many has been the play of the WRs.

Tuitama has had time to throw in both games and film study by the coaches has confirmed this, just nobody is getting open and Willie is being forced to throw into coverage or take sacks. When your only two WRs that can catch are both 5'8 you're going to have problems in the passing game because there's no safety outlet. Dennard (what complete busts him and fellow Brophy alum Uriah Marshall turned out to be) and Anthony Johnson have to remove their collective heads from their asses if Arizona is going to go anywhere.

Anthony Johnson has been one of the biggest dissapointments this year for me. I give him another game or two to get it going, if he doesn't its time to let one of the Terrell's play.

Why is stoops complaining about a tough schedule?

It looks like he has an A, B, and C game...He squeeked out his B game, got crushed in his A game, and he should crush the C school...Does he want to go back to the big 12, where he only has 2-3 tough games a season?

Common, put ua in the big12 north and they probably finish in 2nd place...

The Valley so low.
I wouldn't call the SFA game an automatic win for UA; they played Delta State (which resembles UA in a number of ways), they're very tough, had an early lead, made good drives.... And UA is missing Tui, and going with an Austin itself....

SFA got blown out by Tulsa, which got blown out by BYU who lost to Arizona. Now I'm not a believer in the A>B, B>C, therefore A>C philosophy, but there's no reason Arizona should not handle Div. 1AA team like SFA even with Austin (who's absolutely horrible BTW) starting at QB. If they lose I'll start firemikestoops.com on Monday if he hasn't been fired by then.

The only way the UA shoudl not win by 40 is if Stoops put the third string in by the second half.

SFA lost to a DIVISION 2 team at home - granted, Delta State is a good D2 team, but only gives 36 scholarships.

It's kind of funny how UA is only winning by 11 in the 4th and even had to bring in Tuitama to beat a very bad I-AA team.

ASU fans don't have jobs that make you work on Saturdays or Sundays...unlike UofA fans.

Welcome to McDonalds, how may I help you?

Well I just thought since ASU got a lot of grief for having trouble against NAU that I'd just drop by and say hello.
