Dykes or RR? maybe we overlooked him.
RR by miles. 10-2 last year guys. Decimated by injuries this year. In the long run we will be ok.
Tui, I think the 10-2 record last year is exactly the problem. The reality is that it took a miracle to win the Cal game, Coaching stupidity to win the UW game, and the help of the Gods (we played UO with essentially their 2nd team OL) against the ducks. If we could re-run last year 1000 times we would end up 7-5 about 99% of the time. I think a lot of UA fans, and folks on this board, mistook a LOT of LUCK last year for being good or thinking we turned the corner..........We didn't

Football happens. Sure we may have gotten lucky but I think us winning in Oregon was no fluke. Maybe that's just me but we played complete football there. I don't think anyone thought we won the South handedly, remember we were also a field goal away from being 11-1.

No one knows what this year would have been with a healthy Ippolito and Scooby and Anu and Griffey and TJ...

Meanwhile Jumpin' Johnny Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!! Jackson the tree cutting lumber Jack

that's a nice drive right there, even with the overthrow on the open deep play.

Simply Unbelievable to think about.

It was painful to even write that.

And what should have been Stoops best player still left over is playing at Stanford right now because Stoops is a dipshit.

Ok D...lets get a nice 3 and out or pick 6...make this a game.

We're winning (the 3rd quarter)!

Have to stop kicking it to him. I don't mind the short stuff to the up man, could work as an onside 1/100 times. Then we'll guarantee he doesn't run it back like that.

Did I just see game day will be at Utah for the Cal game? Underwhelming for sure!

You can't ignore what Dykes has going on at Cal.
He certainly has appeared to have turned that program around quickly.
They're 5-0 but their best win is a middle of the road Wash team. He also has a 3 year starter at QB. Also he has 11 wins total over those 3 years including the 5 wins this year.

Calm down everyone.

Yeah he has 11 wins over the last 3 years, but his first year they went 1-11. No one needs to calm down, we're just pointing out a team that was 1-11 2 years ago is now 5-0. The fact that they have already won 1 conference game vs 0 total in 2013 should point out that fact.

Even at the height of the JH days, place was never more that 75% full and people didn't really show until about 5min left in the 1st.

Too busy checking their venture capital projects , probably.

The stadium is a soccer stadium.

Hope Rich Rod doesn't turn into a gloried Mike Leach. Gonna have to make a stand somewhere.

And we are STILL lining up only 3 DL's against their power front.

34-10

Plenty of stuff doomed RR at Michigan. Plain and simple, besides all the behind the scenes drama, he was a bad fit for that school, and he didn't have everything he asked for.

I guess when the question is Dykes or RR based off of two bad losses, then I think people are overreacting.

Good thing we don't have enough football history to follow suit with that BS. RR is a much better fit at a place like Arizona. Now if he could just get rid of his affinity for the 3-3-5.

Agreed, and with how injuries are hitting us this season, I'm not feeling good about any single game left on the schedule. This is football though, shit happens. And this is Arizona football, so shit happens a lot.

Just asking questions...don't let it stop you root root rooting for the home team.

1) RRod isn't stubborn and gives Dawkins a chance if the Furd loads the box against Randall
and shuts down the run

2) Casteel isn't stubborn and sticks with a 3-3 front against Furds 7 man Jumbo line.
Normally I would campaign for an extra LB but we are fresh out of those. Time for
Casteel to adapt and play 4 DL's if the base defense doesn't stop the run

Update:

Well, at least RRod gave Dawkins 1 series.

Casteel still thinks he's playing a spread offense.

Randall may be focusing too much on JJJ. . .

I'm ok with him focusing on JJ if, you know, he could possibly not throw it 2 feet over his head, or as I type this, Wilson's head.
