Happy Football Friday to all. Hope you've had a good week. As you can all tell, our famous staff are struggling to reach the finish line...with no bye week, its all pretty tough.

Couple of quick hits regarding this game:

1) This game has let down written all over it. I know that people are jacked about how bad Arizona is, but remember that they've had two weeks to scheme and their D isn't bad. When you factor in the weather, this one is gonna be ugly, at least for a while..

2) We need a blow out in the worst way. For one, it will allow us to rest guys like Bruce. Second: we need to get Rogers some playing time. As of right now, if Brink gets hurt, we're back to the Gesser-Kegel scenario in the 2002 Apple Cup. There's NO WAY Rogers gets time next week, so hopefully, we'll get up big and they'll get him some time.

3) We need a big win to solidify ourselves in the polls. This is a big time of year for recruiting and to parade into people's homes ranked in the country is BIG for us.

End analysis: we're gonna win this game going away, but its gonna come late. Final score: Cougs 28 Arizona 7 (but it will be 14-7 late in the third). It won't be exactly what we needed, but it will do. Hell, ANY type of win will do...

Other games:

ASU 24 Oregon State 17 (Here comes the letdown!)
UW 28 Oregon 27
CAL 41 UCLA 7
USC 155 Stanford 2


Enjoy the game not being televised--again!
