Arizona vs LSU

[Irish27]

The Cats might be the underdog but LSU might need the help of "The Waterboy" to avoid an upset. The rebirth of the Desert Swarm goes to SEC Country. Bear Down Arizona!!!

[azcat49]

"you can do iiiittttt"

[phxcatfan]

is LSU looking ahead to Auburn? they better not be...i like what our D can do. they can keep us in this.

[Dosia]

i really hope we pull our **** together for this game. **** im already getting excited and we have a whole week to go. :devil:

[bhanson]

Game is in the bag, Irish started this thread and he is undefeated when starting football threads.

Well, I'm off to New Orleans tomorrow morning, and then to Baton Rouge on Friday. I'll see if I can get some good pics.

C'mon Cats!! I know you're better than that!

Get this thread BACK on the front page, where it belongs. :fur:

Bring 'em on!

edit;
You know, the BYU game may have been better than we hoped, because if Tui had come out firing on all cylinders they'd be expecting him to and probably give him the credit the Cats deserve. Now with this victory, LSU can be saying all they want, but in the back of their minds they are all probably thinking only of Auburn.

If Tui comes out like he can and we have some calls go our way/or they're all "fair" then the Cats are going to beat the tigers...

From what I've heard from him, I do think Les Miles may be underestimating Arizona, but that said, I don't think the Tigers will overlook the Cats.

[ghostwhitehorse]

One hour to go. . .

OK, got my workout at Bally completed and now have a Blue Moon in hand and ready to go. :)

[UA Direct]

here we go...

We need a fast start.

[GlobalCat]

Embrodak,

Your crow dinner is better than the free tacos all you Taco Bell employees get!

[CaliCat69]

Throw and reception to start and a roughing the passer call on LSU

[DoodieTang]

That was a big hit

[CatintheHeat]

C'mon OL, that was terrible

[ZONACAT]

...and it started out so well.

[CaliCat69]

Two sacks...blah

[ZONACAT]

Tui might now make it through this game. He's been sacked twice and has already taken a helmet to helmet hit.

Arf.

[ghostwhitehorse]

*grumble*

[UA Direct]

Over/Under 20 LSU sacks?

[CatintheHeat]

No qb coverage. Tui has to get more time to pass or the running game has to get going. Looks like the D is going to be on the field for a long time.

[devilswin99]

Swiss Cheese O-Line.

[jAZ]

That was 3 straight tackles for a loss. Our OL sucks ass.

[ghostwhitehorse]

LSU offense starting on the 50. . .ugh.

[Lane_Myers]

Welcome back Dane...

[edgewood4]

Well, this sucks.

[CatintheHeat]

Some good blocking by LSU

[devilswin99]

Ist and Goal Tigers.

[ZONACAT]

Missing tackles...fun fun.

[NorCalCat]

Great tackling...shyeesh.

[jAZ]

It's going to be a looooooong night if this is how badly we matchup along the lines.

[CatintheHeat]

Holding LSU to a FG right now would be big.

[jAZ]

Some good blocking by LSU

Combined with blown open field tackles.

[ZONACAT]

Good stop guys.

[CatintheHeat]

Good stop. Let's use that as a momentum builder.

[jAZ]

Holding LSU to a FG right now would be big.

Huge.

[SCCat]

It might not seem like much, but it's huge that we only gave up three there.

[TucsonClip]

Good stop, now we need to stop their D line.

[jAZ]

Let's try this again gentleman!

[CatintheHeat]

Only giving up 3, I'll take it. But the OL has to play better.

[devilswin99]

Gigantic stop to hold the game to three points!!!!

[UA Direct]

At least the defense sacked up in the red zone.

[coeagle]

Only giving up 3, I'll take it. But the OL has to play better.

No doubt. Tui will get killed if they keep playing like they did on the first possesion.

[Lane_Myers]

Only giving up 3, I'll take it. But the OL has to play better.

Not only the OL, but Chris Henry. His ****ty block was the cause of the last sack on Tuitama...

Lane

[CatintheHeat]

The screen was the right call, just not executed very well

[ZONACAT]

Louis Holmes almost signed with LSU? Hmm. Don't remember that.

[ZONACAT]

Touchdown LSU.

Terrible throw. The rout is on.

[Lane_Myers]

Oh crap...

[CatintheHeat]

Game? This looks like it's going to be a long day.

[CG Cat]

Good pass Tuitama. :(


Of course it doesn't help that he has 0 time to pass back there.

[gsob8]

:angry: :eek: :confused:

[CaliCat69]

Ouch...two bad series

[ghostwhitehorse]

Td LSU.

Terrible throw. The rout is on.

f***:angry: :(

[NorCalCat]

So ugly.

[jAZ]

I'm not even sure that was a bad throw on Tui's part. Seems like the WR should have come back harder for the ball.

[CatintheHeat]

Tui is really showing he's not an experienced QB. Hopefully this pays dividends down the line.

[drewthejew]

Is Thomas playing? I don't feel like I've seen him...
Our OL is brutal. This is gonna get ugly. :angry:

[TucsonClip]

Well he hasnt fixed his staring problem... You cant stare down a WR running a hitch.

[UA Direct]

Arizona needed some big plays to win - LSU getting the big plays spells blowout.

[Reservoir Dog]

So, when does Canales start to earn his keep?

[CatintheHeat]

Look at the bright side, we are keeping our D off the field.

[ZONACAT]

Fumble the kick-off, LSU ball. Way to go guys.

[Air]

I read on the LSU boards that our players and Stoops were spitting on the tiger eye or whatever it is. Why the **** would we do that? We already had enough on our hands without pissing them off. Of course, they might just be making this up.

[devilswin99]

Fumble. LSU football!

[edgewood4]

Well, this is gonna be fun.

[CG Cat]

Jesus Christ!!!!!!! Is this going to be like 2003 all over again?

[CatintheHeat]

Omg!

[TucsonClip]

You have to be kidding me...

[mongrelcat]

wow.

[jAZ]

Holy crap!

[UA Direct]

Holy **** Batman!!!

Could it get worse?

[alieberman]

Thanks for playing. Goodnight.

[SCCat]

Nightmare

[ZONACAT]

We had to win the turnover battle just to have a chance. :fur:

Frustrating. You can just see the wheels coming off.

[devilswin99]

Texas vs Ohio State in one hour if anyone interested!!!

[NorCalCat]

Start the bus.

[ZONACAT]

Les Miles hates Stoops too, he's going to run up the score.

[coeagle]

I think im going to need more vodka.

[TucsonClip]

This is already unwatchable...

[CG Cat]

I think this game is already in the bank. Our offense is way to inept to overcome a 17-0 deficit. I should say our offensive line.

[Itamicbomb]

LSU may be good at football, but their promo commercial sucks

[TucsonClip]

Go Padres? The only thing left to do is tap the kegs for the freaking OSU Texas game... Too bad I hate both, but I hate OSU more...

Hook 'em Horns?

[CatintheHeat]

It's not embarrassing to get beat by LSU. It is embarrassing in how the Cats are playing.

[Flyman]

I read on the LSU boards that our players and Stoops were spitting on the tiger eye or whatever it is. Why the **** would we do that? We already had enough on our hands without pissing them off. Of course, they might just be making this up.

If this is true, then Stoops and his guys were just being stupid. The last time someone did something similar (Auburn stomped on the eye in the middle of the field), they got their asses handed to them. Not a smart move...trust me, if it happened, then our guys found out about it. The eye is VERY personal to our players.

[ghostwhitehorse]

forward guys, FORWARD! *sigh*

[ZONACAT]

We can't do anything right.

[coeagle]

It's not embarrassing to get beat by LSU. It is embarrassing in how the Cats are playing.

Yup, they just look horrible.

[edgewood4]

Can anything else happen? Penalties? Check. Turnovers? Check. Terrible Protection? Check.

[jAZ]

Hook 'em Horns?

You're 0 fer 1.....Go G'Men!

Hopefully you'll be 0 fer 2 at the end of the night.

[Reservoir Dog]

not good. For all the talk of how we improved it might mean crap if our o-line does improve what we've seen v. BYU and today.

[CaliCat69]

Delay of game, check!

[CatintheHeat]

So when does basketball start?

[Enosh]

we need to stop running those slow developing running plays we let 6 defenders in before henry has the ball

[ghostwhitehorse]

I really miss Danny Baugher. . . :(

[CG Cat]

I think our O-line is way to slow. They are fairly big but their foot speed is pathetic. The D line just goes around them.

[CatintheHeat]

Larsen's helmit breaks on a crucial down (well not really anymore). Nothing is going right.

[ZONACAT]

Great quarter guys. :rolleyes:

[CatintheHeat]

We only had 1 good play in the quarter by the offense. The very first one.

[Enosh]

well if it wasnt for the two turnovers it would only be 3-0

isnt that the usual excuse?

[Reservoir Dog]

Well, on defense the backers and d-line seem to be putting up a fight but the corners look like they are scared to get close to LSU's receivers.

[TucsonClip]

Great the Padres lost...

Someone shoot me.

[TheOriginalAZ]

Let's blame Mackovic

[willubearcat]

reminds me of the Penn State game - sickening.

Tui's got to use his athletic ability.

Start HITTING guys, Start TACKLING.

[CG Cat]

We only had 1 good play in the quarter by the offense. The very first one.

What about the 4 yard run by Jennings and the 2 yard run by Henry? ;)

[Dosia]

wow this is embarassing

[illcat]

WT looks lost!!

[bhanson]

Beyond embarrassing.

[TucsonClip]

Wow... This sucks...

[CatintheHeat]

I think even Louisiana Lafayette could beat us

[WildcatStunner]

Hell yeah cats way to take an L!

This is upsetting.

[Enosh]

watching this makes my eyes bleed

[ghostwhitehorse]

WT looks lost!!

That is about normal for visitors to Death Valley. . .

[illcat]

Does anyone really want to talk about this??

[coeagle]

Im really quite stunned by how this team came out to play....Props to LSU, though, they are just kicking ass.

[bhanson]

Must be one heck of a party at Rusty's.... Sorry CG97...

[Reservoir Dog]

Well, on defense the backers and d-line seem to be putting up a fight but the corners look like they are scared to get close to LSU's receivers.

OK, our whole secondary is scare of LSU!!!!!!!! Nice whiff on another tackle.

[CG Cat]

Lets just be honest here. We are not as good as we thought. Tuitama has a ways to go. The O-line has even further to go. And our receivers lack something to be desired(especially Johnson). The defense is solid but needs help tackling at times.


We will get there I think, but it won't be this game.

[kilroi]

Simply painful.

kilroi

[olevetonahill]

Just got here come on guys lets get some Major MOJO going for the team !

[Enosh]

atleast henry is getting some better touches this game

mixing it up inside and out

[illcat]

Im really quite stunned by how this team came out to play....Props to LSU, though, they are just kicking ass.

This is beyond an ass kicking this is getting ***** slapped and beat like a red headed step child.

[willubearcat]

Just got here come on guys lets get some Major MOJO going for the team !

Whatever you're smoking, I'll take some

[TucsonClip]

1st down?

Mike Thomas?

Who and what is that?

[olevetonahill]

Yea 1st down

[olevetonahill]

Whatever you're smoking, I'll take some

dont diss theMOJO we got a 1st down

[UA Direct]

Willie Steptoe???

[olevetonahill]

flag I hope its on the bad guys y

[olevetonahill]

Bummer

[kilroi]

Granello did't touch anyone, wtf?

Seriously, the left side of the line is stinking up the joint.

kilroi

[Enosh]

that was a sick hit on Mr WT

[Dosia]

im glad i didnt go to rustys

[Flyman]

Wow...Landry just drilled Tui...his head snapped and the back of his head hit the ground first.

[CatintheHeat]

At least Steptoe is showing some life. Plus it doesn't look like Tui is giving up. I like that too.

[CG Cat]

I had feeling our O-line would be the low point of our team this year. I just didn't expect it to be this bad. Not with the recruits we've gotten over the last few years in that area. I figured talent would partially make up for inexperience, but boy was I wrong.

[olevetonahill]

Great coverage on the punt . Now I want an intercept for a TD

[CatintheHeat]

Wow...Landry just drilled Tui...his head snapped and the back of his head hit the ground first.

If we lose Tuitama, the Cats will be lucky to win 2 more games for the rest of the season.

[coeagle]

At least Steptoe is showing some life. Plus it doesn't look like Tui is giving up. I like that too.

Yeah, but Tui is going to just get destroyed with the OL playing like this.

[alieberman]

Tui is going to get killed out there.

I think I know why all these LSU fans were so nice this week. They didn't have the heart to tell us straight.

[kilroi]

I don't think LSU even has a punter.

kilroi

[Enosh]

Nick folk for MVP this year?

[Lane_Myers]

Dotson again...

[CaliCat69]

LSU's punter is at Rusty's...they don't need him today

[illcat]

I'd get WT out of there just to save him.

[olevetonahill]

Nice tackle for a loss

[CatintheHeat]

Arizona is going to have to put this game behind them. They can't let it demoralize them. I'm glad we play Stephen Austin next week before we play USC.

The start of this season is going to be brutal. What the Cats need to do is make positive things happen. Don't give up and try to get better. Don't worry about the score.

[illcat]

What is the highest scoring game for 1 team in NCAA history

[Ezsuds81]

We get a penalty for our tackle not lining up ON the line, did you see their "line" on the last play? Where was the flag?

[bhanson]

Poor ESPN2... At least they keep cutting back to the studio to watch glimpses of real games.

[kilroi]

LSU coughs 8 yard plays.

kilroi

[Flyman]

Dude, whoever said Louis Holmes was no more than 245 was smoking crack. That's one BIG dude...easily 275, at least.

[Lane_Myers]

Finally...

[CaliCat69]

Fumble!

[kilroi]

Woo Hoo!!!!!

Fumble LSU!

kilroi

[ZONACAT]

Finally, something goes our way. About 21 points too late though.

[olevetonahill]

Yea The MOJO is helping

[UA Direct]

Wow. Something good happened!

[CatintheHeat]

WTG Cats. Now let's make something happen. Just don't give up.

[Enosh]

Nice turnover

[CG Cat]

Good Job Defense!

[iiyani]

let's go offense!!

[CatintheHeat]

Tui needs to scan the field better. He gets focused too much on one receiver. Again it shows his inexperience.

[CG Cat]

Can we get Johnson out and 1 of the freshman wide receivers in. Surely it would be better then seeing Johnson fall on ever pass play.

[coeagle]

Finally something goes the cats way!

[CaliCat69]

1st Down!

[kilroi]

I love Earl Mitchel.

kilroi

[Lane_Myers]

How old is Earl Mitchell? That kid is HUGE for a true freshman...

[CaliCat69]

T is still over throwing the receivers...

[popque]

What is the highest scoring game for 1 team in NCAA history

I believe it was Georgia Tech over Cumberland, 222-0. I had the under. :angry:

[iiyani]

We have to get this 1st down.

[CatintheHeat]

Some better pass blocking. At least the Cats offense is looking a little better.

[olevetonahill]

Come on guys we have a big oppoetunity here

[Reservoir Dog]

Larson is a stud.

[kilroi]

IF it is 4th, you HAVE to go for it.

kilroi

[iiyani]

we have to go for this!!! Let's go!!!

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats have to go for it. The score doesn't mean much anyway.

[CaliCat69]

Go Go Go

[CG Cat]

Yea, finally the O-line is looking a little better.

[olevetonahill]

IF it is 4th, you HAVE to go for it.

kilroi


yup

[iiyani]

1st down!!! We have to gain some confidence on this drive.

[CatintheHeat]

All right. the sneak was the right play. Cats putting on a decent drive.

[CaliCat69]

No, another bad snap!

[CG Cat]

Mistakes Mistakes Mistakes. We cannot keep f-king up.

[CaliCat69]

Holy crap, how many times can we put the ball on the ground!

[CatintheHeat]

Hard hit on Henry, but Henry still should have hung on to the ball.

[Dosia]

i dont wanna be a negative nancy but we suck

[CG Cat]

Our offense is just awful. I need to go drown my sorrows in some beer.

[kilroi]

It's the keystone cops out there.

kilroi

[CatintheHeat]

Offensive players not on the same page. Great

[coeagle]

Folk is our best player at the moment.

[Enosh]

seriously though how many fumbles have we had tonight?

[CaliCat69]

Already doing the beer thing...it is not helping much. Nice kick...even a broken clock is right twice a day...

[ghostwhitehorse]

Well at least LSU has to do some work. . .good job Nick!

[CaliCat69]

BYU 42...Tulsa 17

[olevetonahill]

Lets get a saftie

[alieberman]

Are we all going to score negative points in the RAP this week?

[CatintheHeat]

Must be Pac-10 officials

[olevetonahill]

nice stop

[CaliCat69]

Good D this drive or conservative Offensive play calling? Half time?

[illcat]

The offense should call in sick next week. Oh man is practice going to be brutal next week.

[WildcatStunner]

great catch

Way to own us

[Reservoir Dog]

I like the annoucers synopsis. After detailing all of our mistakes, he says summises Wildcat fans and coaches thoughts - "just show up."

[CG Cat]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! How did the LSU player make that catch. We should've had it.

[WildcatStunner]

Man down too!

[CaliCat69]

Tall receivers...

[Flyman]

If Bowe didn't have Lasik surgery in the offseason, he wouldn't have caught that pass...it's not a catch he would have made last year.

[CaliCat69]

Finally, some pressure.

[olevetonahill]

come on D get an intercept
y

[CG Cat]

I thought Russell couldn't run? Yet he has been outrunning our defenders all night.

[Flyman]

Good example of how mobile JR is.

[CaliCat69]

LSU QB has good instincts, he feels the pressure and eludes well.

[WildcatStunner]

our dudes suck

[CatintheHeat]

LSU is looking ok now, but it does seem like they have lost some of their intensity.

[Dosia]

our dudes suck

pretty much

[CaliCat69]

Pick, Az!

[CatintheHeat]

WTG Cason. Our all-american came through.

[WildcatStunner]

TO margin is even now...

[olevetonahill]

YEA I called it Great play D

[alieberman]

The scary thing is to think that LSU is looking past us to their game vs Auburn next week.

[ghostwhitehorse]

YEA I called it Great play D

Just wish it had happened earlier. . .

[iiyani]

I'm suprised that we did not give Nick Follk a chance. You never know.

[CG Cat]

Our defense has been decent considering the opponent. Great pick by Cason. To bad the offense is so inept that it has allowed more points then the D tonight. Lets hope we can score something in the second half.

[coeagle]

Way to go Cason! 24 points down actually seems ok the way that first have seemingly could have gone.

[illcat]

LSU is looking ok now, but it does seem like they have lost some of their intensity.

I was thinking the same thing if we could come out at the half hold them on the first series, grab a couple of quick scores. It could prove to be interesting.

[CatintheHeat]

You can't blame our D for the score. The O is not performing and that was crucial to have a chance. They did look a little better when they weren't dropping the ball.

[olevetonahill]

But what seems to be overlooked here is the cats shut em out to in the 2 1/4

[CatintheHeat]

I'm suprised that we did not give Nick Follk a chance. You never know.

I was thinking the same thing. If Fold can hit a 65 yarder in Tucson, he difintely had a chance to be close enough for a chance at a FG. I am a little disappointed that the Cats didn't try for a FG to end the half.

[Flyman]

No, LSU had 7pts in the 2ndQ.

[Reservoir Dog]

You can't blame our D for the score. The O is not performing and that was crucial to have a chance. They did look a little better when they weren't dropping the ball.

Maybe. But we've had some bad missed tackles turned into big plays by LSU and we have not been able to make big stops on 3rd downs.

[Flyman]

You can't blame our D for the score. The O is not performing and that was crucial to have a chance. They did look a little better when they weren't dropping the ball.

The offense has put you guys in a bad spot once or twice, but LSU does have 207yds of offense so far...104 passing, 103 rushing.

[Titan]

IF....IF we come back out and at least COMPETE in the 2nd half, I will feel slightly better. Otherwise, I'm wondering what it is going to take to get us over the hump? HOW IN THE F*** CAN WE COME OUT IN THIS TYPE OF GAME AND JUST F UP ALMOST EVERYTHING?!

I'm especially pissed at Steptoe (I think) who just pussed out on the KO fumble and let someoene want it more than him. He had it and should have kept it, damnit! Take that BS away and the pick and it is 10-0. I know I'm just reaching......

[CaliCat69]

BYU is putting up points today.

[killervibe]

I bet Holmes is second guessing his decision to play at the UofA now. It has to be hard to watch your offense play as if they are a pick-up team.

[CatintheHeat]

The offense has put you guys in a bad spot once or twice, but LSU does have 207yds of offense so far...104 passing, 103 rushing.

That is a balanced attack. Still UA has been causing a lot of those yards by bad play. There were a ton of missed tackles. Looks like the UA defense isn't as good as we think it is. Although some players have shown their value.

[Reservoir Dog]

So, when does Canales start earning his keep and show that he can put together an effective offense?

[jAZ]

No, LSU had 7pts in the 2ndQ.

Ok, that's pretty ticky-tack. It was on a drive that started and all but finished in the 1st quarter.

[CaliCat69]

I think we are still hiding our plays for next year. Don't want to tip our hat too early...

[Flyman]

Ok, that's pretty ticky-tack. It was on a drive that started and all but finished in the 1st quarter.

Why is it ticky-tack? LSU scored 17 in the 1stQ and 7 in the 2ndQ. Bottom line is that UA didn't shut out LSU in the 2ndQ as was said.

[olevetonahill]

Why is it ticky-tack? LSU scored 17 in the 1stQ and 7 in the 2ndQ. Bottom line is that UA didn't shut out LSU in the 2ndQ as was said.

So sue me lol:lol2:

[CaliCat69]

Reserved optimism...turn over to UofA

[Lane_Myers]

Nice strip and fumble recovery. But what's with all the missed tackles?!

[CaliCat69]

Tackles?
