UA Vs NAU

[Footballjunkie]

I like the opening with a big play to Money Mike.
They score w/i two minutes.

WHO ARE THESE GUYS?

[CatintheHeat]

When's the last time Arizona had a drive like that? Kovalcheck is really coming around. Also, when was the last time Arizona had a star freshman like Mike Thomas?

Offensive lines are really playing their game

[CatintheHeat]

For a game against a I-AA opponent, the fans are really into the game.

[HiCat]

Sounds good!! Nice..

[CatintheHeat]

NAU just got a first down on faking a punt from the NAU 25

NAU blocked Arizona's FG attempt

[Footballjunkie]

Fg Blocked!!!!!!!!!!!

[Embrodak]

ridiculous.. I can understand a 40+ yarder being blocked but come on.. a 30 yyarder should be 10 feet in the air by the time it hits the line.

[Footballjunkie]

NAU @ 20 Yard line.
Fumble on the first play recovered by NAU @ 22.
Time Out NAU just before the second play.

[Footballjunkie]

3rd and 8.
Incomplete pass.
NAU to punt.

[catshoop]

Cats losing focus...

[CatintheHeat]

NAU intercepts a pass to Thomas

Arizona to NAU 30.
3rd Down pass
Interception NAU!!!!!
Did anyone happen to notice which one of the 4 NAU defenders covering that Arizona receiver intercepted the pass? :rolleyes:

[CatintheHeat]

NAU has to punt.

Terrible punt, 20 yards. Arizona has the ball on the UA 41

[CatintheHeat]

Pass interference on 3rd down. Automatic 1st down for UA on NAU 39.

[WisconsinCAT]

Since the game is taped delayed in Milwaukee, can someone tell me what color jersey and pants did the Cats put on tonight.

Thanks

[CatintheHeat]

Arizona is wearing blue tops and white bottoms along with the blue helmits.

[Phylek]

Since the game is taped delayed in Milwaukee, can someone tell me what color jersey and pants did the Cats put on tonight.

Thanks
Blue jersey/white pants

EDIT: Catin the heat beat me to it.

[CatintheHeat]

UA's offense appears to be more content on pounding the ball inside. Bell ran the last 5 plays

[CatintheHeat]

TD ARIZONA. Pass to Anthony Johnson for about 29 yards.

[Phylek]

I was just sitting here thinking, "When was our last completed pass?"

And BAM, touchdown on a very nice pass.

17-0

[Phylek]

That was an interesting drive. Nothing like the first drive, but just as satisfying.

Way to go Cats..

[catshoop]

Cats offence looks playing better than Cats defence... or is it just because NAU's offence is good?

[Phylek]

I thought Arizona's D has looked pretty good. Murietta is what 1-5 for -5 yards?

[CatintheHeat]

This game is more like it. I wonder what the NAU flamers are thinking right now.

[catshoop]

nice run!

[Footballjunkie]

NAU to punt from their 20.
Steptoe return to NAU 49.

[CatintheHeat]

Steptoe great punt return to about the 50. Another thought. What is with Murietta? NAU's offense looks inept.

[Bison79]

I wonder if anyone has ever broken the 1000 rap point barrier....?

With how inappropriately cheap I made Johnson and Thomas....and inaccurately cheap....

[Footballjunkie]

Incomplete to Anthony Johnson on 2nd and 9.
3rd and 9.
Incomplete to Mike Thomas. Personal Foul AZ
4th down. Arizona to punt.

[Phylek]

NAU QB is 2/9 for 2 yards.

[CatintheHeat]

How far did that punt go? That punt was sent to space. Too bad it went for a touchback.

[Footballjunkie]

Steptoe great punt return to about the 50. Another thought. What is with Murietta? NAU's offense looks inept.To me it looks like improved DL play but then again Arizona is playing NAU.

[CatintheHeat]

Nice option play by NAU for about 30 yards. Bad tackling by UA on that play.

[CatintheHeat]

Late hit OB by Randy Simms of UA. NAU has a good chance to score on the UA 28.

what is Coach S upset about?

[UA Direct]

We have an offense!

Sure, it's NAU but compare to last years game.

Mike Bell: 84 yards at halftime.

[olevetonahill]

Just got here !
And you are correct its looking good . Go CATS

[Jason Scheer]

Anthony Johnson looks good...geez cant believe I can say that

Just as important as the points is the fact that the UA is able to control the ball and maintain a flow and possession

[Titan]

LSU BLOCKS ANOTHER KICK FOR A TOUCHDOWN! LSU 21 ASU 17 Oh, wrong game, but still cause for celebration!

[Footballjunkie]

I'd like to see them get Terry Longbons and Xavier Smith into the game so that they can get some game experience. Chris Henry should see more time too so that he can get use to game speed.
Also we need to rest the starters for the next game.

[DCCat]

Kovalcheck 13-21, 194 yds, 2 TDs, 1 Int in first half

(Live box scores from sites such as Yahoo and ESPN were reporting stats that for some reason excluded the first UA drive, but Yahoo at least has been updated with the correct numbers.)

[jAZ]

LSU BLOCKS ANOTHER KICK FOR A TOUCHDOWN! LSU 21 ASU 17 Oh, wrong game, but still cause for celebration!
I'm torn on this. I want the Pac-10 to gain some credibility with some big non-conference wins, but it's always a good day when the Sun Devils lose.

Damnit, I'm kinda rooting for the Devils!

:slap:

I guess it's purely Wildcat-selfishness though.

[Titan]

I'm with ya, jAZ, but somehow I found myself jumpin outta my seat.

[Air]

Damn, Murrietta

[olevetonahill]

We need to keep the starters in to give them more experience , and used to working together , Mistakes now can be corrected later during practice ,
Now I just hope those sunthingies win , 2 reasons
1 I hate lessmilage
2 When we kick there ass again it will make us look great :cool:

[CatintheHeat]

OMG! UA is looking awful right now. That snap wasn't even close to the kicker. NAU is one TD from getting back into the game.

[olevetonahill]

Shades of the 2000 OB ! at least kicker had enough sense to kick it out of there ! :)

[Footballjunkie]

Arizona looking sloppy
Snap over the head of the punter. Kicked out of endzone by Baugher.

Arizona 24
NAU 12

5:30 left in 3rd quarter.

[Titan]

What do we hate so much about success?!

[SDCatlover]

how did we get the 15 yard penalty on that drive?

[CatintheHeat]

UA's defense is missing tackles now. The offense can't go anywhere. It looks look UA is tired, not NAU.

Marcus Smith down with an injury.

[SDCatlover]

Our fitness level is disturbing me.

[DCCat]

NAU has outgained UA 110 to minus 15 in the second half. Not counting the 20 yards in UA penalties.

[catshoop]

oh my goodness... Cats really losing focus...

I think it's time for Coach S to get reallty upset... :rolleyes:

[Rockdoc]

they need something to happen to get them fired up, mad, scared, something!

[olevetonahill]

great run Bell

[CatintheHeat]

Nice 20 yard run by Mike Bell. That helps.

[SDCatlover]

Nice 20 yard run by Mike Bell. That helps.
This gamechannel thing must be really slow!

[CatintheHeat]

Other than the 1 run by Bell, that drive was pathetic.

[SDCatlover]

Here's to the third quarter being over with..sheesh.

[Footballjunkie]

NAU Punts
UA takes over at its 20 w/ 13:22 left

[olevetonahill]

Nice catch
where in hell is everyone ? yep it aint great but its GONNA be a W :)

[CatintheHeat]

Looks UA is getting some life back handing the ball off to Chris Henry.

[olevetonahill]

great run

[CatintheHeat]

Chris Henry fumbles the football away again.

[olevetonahill]

At least I got us to 7 pages
Great run R K
and one hell of a hard hit !

[Titan]

Oh, Henry!!

[Chicat]

I just turned on the game after getting home from a block party, and I'm pretty much disgusted.

Against NAU??? NAU?!?!?!?!?

[UA Direct]

Time to take some time off the clock and hopefully score.

Henry now getting the call (last 4 rush attempts) - Stoops trying to punish the NAU line maybe?

[olevetonahill]

Chris Henry fumbles the football away again.
Neg me if you want ! but that was one hella hard hit on him and it comes across to me as you think hes careless ?

[ZONACAT]

It's not on TV, so I have no comment. Go Cats! Way to mail in the second half.

[SDCatlover]

Anyone tell me why Bell isn't running the football and Mr. Fumble is?

[ZONACAT]

Neg me if you want ! but that was one hella hard hit on him and it comes across to me as you think hes careless ?

He is careless, how many fumbles does he need to have before you realize this? :rolleyes:

[CatintheHeat]

Chris Henry lost his helmit along with losing the football. It appeared to me the NAU player's helmet directly hit the football when Henry was going down.

[Footballjunkie]

8:28 left in the 4Th
TO NAU
3rd and 4 after the Chris Henry Fumble after a wicked hit that knocked off his helmet.
NAU at their 20

[olevetonahill]

Anyone tell me why Bell isn't running the football and Mr. Fumble is?
That fumble Was not his fault he had the shat nocked out of him
And yes its on Fox az

[olevetonahill]

He is careless, how many fumbles does he need to have before you realize this? :rolleyes:
He may be but my point is / was that wasnt his fault . Super glue couldnt have helped him hold the ball after that hit :cool:

[Titan]

Watch the play closely (if you get the chance) and you might agree that Henry is trying a LITTLE to hard to be the one to lay the blow. I appreciate that (ALOT), however, it appears to me as if THAT is where he got careless. I believe he could have gone down without fumbling if he used his smarts on that one.

[CatintheHeat]

Let's get this TD and put the game away.

[Footballjunkie]

TD, Gilbert Harris, Arizona

Arizona 31
NAU 12

EDIT

[CatintheHeat]

TD Arizona!! 1 yard run by Gilbert Harris

[olevetonahill]

Im a fan lol not a smart football mind :)
But im my HO i would rather they try HARD than not try hard enough , jmho
Oh GREAT TD

[olevetonahill]

Yall do realise its after 12 am here ?
Ive been watching Fopot ball since 11=30 my time lol
Im doing good to still be awake ! as in noy passed out !
am i the only one to see the simalarity of this win For the Cats as the one today by the Sooners?

[BlueWaterCat]

let's see...

arizona scores the most points in a half than they have in a couple of years. alright, that's a plus.

arizona allows nau to score a touchdown for the first time since world war II.

*deep breath* what price, progress?

go cats. with 5 minutes to go and a 31-12 advantage at home...

with 5 minutes to go... :D

bwc

[olevetonahill]

Gonna be an intercept return for a TD Go Cats :cool:

He'd make a good linebacker.

I still think Stoops was giving Bell a blow while pounding the NAU line with Henry.

Just look how Bell responded in the last drive.

Looks like a W to me!!!

[CatintheHeat]

I think the player of the game has to be Snyndric Steptoe. He made a lot of big catches and yardage after the catch, especially down the stretch.

[SDCatlover]

Can't watch the game, but seeing "J. Murrieta rushed up the middle for a 9 yard gain" is getting old.

[olevetonahill]

Agreed except could be R K
how bout both :)

[CatintheHeat]

Can't watch the game, but seeing "J. Murrieta rushed up the middle for a 9 yard gain" is getting old.

The problem is that Murrieta was scrambling a lot out of the pocket and gaining a lot of yardage. The defensive players were out of position. The announcers said that they bet Stoops is going to work on this problem next week.

[olevetonahill]

Great game
Now after an even

1-1 games how mny want to shuck M.S ?

[UA Direct]

Can't watch the game, but seeing "J. Murrieta rushed up the middle for a 9 yard gain" is getting old.

On the other hand, this is new

1st-10, ARIZ28 J. Murrietta sacked by J. Turner. J. Murrietta fumbled. J. Murrietta recovered fumble
2nd-12, ARIZ30 J. Murrietta sacked by M. Shelton
3rd-18, ARIZ36 J. Murrietta sacked by M. Shelton

[SDCatlover]

Well, I was pleased with the first half, but the third quarter seemed to have a lot of problems. I'm not sure if the Cats lost focus, or have some geniune fatigue issues, but they really need to play 4 quarters.

[Footballjunkie]

[igloo]

Started off drinkin cause they were playin good, then there was a moment of nervous binge drinking, then trying to drink away the anger at a awful 3rd quarter, a couple of more brought on by a decent 4th quarter and of course a pint for the win...but it didnt stop there...I needed another 4 pitchers to get through all of the bullshoot handed out by radio folks telling us how good of a win this was for us,

[Embrodak]

chris henry - bad



I disagree.. he was out there busting his balls whenever he was out there and his only miscue was a symptom of going at it too hard.

[bleedzgreen]

punting was bad as well...again, where are the coffin corner punts. He keeps nailing em deep into the endzone.

[CatnNYC]

He is careless, how many fumbles does he need to have before you realize this? :rolleyes:

You did not see the hit so don't judge what you can't see. If you ever played RB at any level, it doesn't matter how careful you are, when a helmut is put on the ball, it is coughed up. See the hit then make a ****in judgement
