Sloppy Play Leads to Blowout Loss For Arizona
Posted on 30 Dec 2010 by Henry Childs.
One would think that holding the high-powered offense of Oklahoma State to 312 total yards of offense would guarantee a victory. But how wrong one would be if you looked at the box score of the Alamo Bowl, where Oklahoma State won with big defensive plays and solid work from its quarterback, Brandon Weeden. The Cowboys won Wednesday night 36-10 over Arizona. Yes, Oklahoma State didn’t play th...

Alamo Bowl Preview: Arizona vs. Oklahoma State
Posted on 28 Dec 2010 by Henry Childs.
After losing four straight to end the regular season, 7-5 Arizona will play 10-2 and 14th ranked Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio on Wednesday. The Arizona team that will take the field on Wednesday is almost playing opposite of how they were playing the first half of the season. For much of the season, it was the Wildcat defense that was heralded, and the offense that was solid,...

Two Blocked PAT’s Doom Arizona as Arizona State Wins the Territorial Cup
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by Henry Childs.
Heartbreaking. In a double-overtime thriller, Arizona State edged Arizona 30-29 to claim the Territorial Cup on Thursday night after the game-tying PAT was blocked by the Sun Devils. First, I need to take a deep breath. Okay, that’s better. What a game to end all Thursday night games in the regular season. Both teams showed heart, guts, and a hunger to win this football game. But in the end, ...

Posted on 2 Dec 2010 by Henry Childs.
Arizona will try to salvage what’s left of their season tomorrow, as they host rival Arizona State at 5pm PST on ESPN. Arizona has lost three games in a row. Arizona State is coming off its best offensive performance of the season, when they beat UCLA last weekend 55-34. Will the Wildcats end the regular season with a win?

Arizona Unable to Hold Halftime Lead, Loses to Oregon 48-29
Posted on 27 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
Arizona had its shot, but Oregon proved too much to handle. The Ducks beat the Wildcats on Saturday 48-29 in Eugene. I was fortunate enough to attend the game, and let me tell you, for a while, it looked like the game was Arizona’s to lose. The first half was clearly the type of game that Arizona wanted to play. The defense played well, holding Oregon to only 14 points and under 200 yards of ...

Can the Wildcats Pull of the Upset?
Posted on 25 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
If you don’t think the last two weeks have been challenging, this week may be the toughest challenge yet for Arizona, as they travel to Eugene to play the number one ranked Oregon Ducks. As a student at the University of Oregon, I have been able to watch the Ducks throughout the season. And for most of the season, I thought to myself that the Oregon offense couldn’t be stopped. Until two we...

Arizona falls flat against USC, loses 24-21
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
The USC Trojans pounded away at Arizona all night long, as the Wildcats fell 24-21 to the Trojans in Tucson. USC used a balance attack to take down Arizona, led by running back Marc Tyler, who had 160 yards on the ground with a touchdown. Quarterback Matt Barkley didn’t play spectacular, but well enough, as he finished 21 of 35 for 175 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Before the gam...

Arizona vs. USC Preview
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
After a humbling loss to Stanford last weekend, 18th ranked Arizona will host USC this Saturday and try to rebound from its second loss of the season. The Wildcats were pounded on both sides of the ball last week against a better-prepared Stanford team. The Arizona defense was worn down, and it certainly won’t get too much of a break against a Trojans offense that is deep and talented. Led by...

Arizona-Stanford Postgame Report
Posted on 7 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
Arizona looked outmatched, outwitted, and outsmarted on Saturday, as the Wildcats fell to Stanford 42-17 in Palo Alto. The Cardinal jumped out to a 14-0 lead and never looked back. Arizona tried to battle their way back in it in the second half, but the bend-but-don’t-break defense of Stanford held their own, while the offense steamrolled past Arizona. Leading up to this game, Arizona’s def...

Arizona-Stanford Preview
Posted on 4 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
In a game where many things are up for grabs, including a potential Rose Bowl berth, 15th-ranked Arizona will travel to Palo Alto on Saturday to face 13th-ranked Stanford. Both teams have one conference loss: Stanford to Oregon, Arizona to Oregon State. That means that the winner will most likely have the upper hand to finishing second in the Pac-10 (if Oregon ends up going undefeated), and a p...

Arizona Beats UCLA, Sets Up Showdown With Stanford
Posted on 31 Oct 2010 by Henry Childs.
Arizona beat UCLA 29-21 on Saturday, in maybe a much closer game than many people thought it was going to be. However, the Wildcats played well in adversity against a road opponent who at times has shown that they could compete with good teams. Matt Scott, once again, played remarkably well. He finished 24 of 36 with 319 yards passing, one touchdown and one interception. He also ran for 71 yard...
