Wildcats looking pretty tough so far. Beavers should just forfeit at halftime and go home.

Nope, but this close call is the result of all of the injuries we've sustained. With no bye, my guess is the coaching staff is being conservative with guys like Neal and Wilson, who could've easily played tonight.

That first "fumble" Anu was the result of what should've been called targeting. The other mistakes, such as the one on the punt that grazed Griffey's back, are inexcusable.

Glad RichRod realized Anu was not feeling it tonight and pulled him for Randall. Totally changed the complexion of the game.

I said in the asu domain that CU is going to bite someone in the ass. I'm not surprised they played us hard and were opportunist I with turnovers.

We almost were that team, but credit RichRod for making the necessary adjustments and not letting the team lay down.

The talent could always be better, but how many teams outside of Ohio state, Alabama, etc could start 25 different players, including 5 different MLB, and have much success? This team is completely decimated.

Almost came back to win it. WSU was self destructing there for a bit. But your "back up" QB Randall, that dude is a bull, extremely strong runner.

I think there are a few HS teams in AZ that could put up 21 points on UA's defense.

I'm over the hashtags, catchphrases, and other rhetoric. Just start recruiting please and make sure it's not all 5'10 WR's

Defensive fundamentals are freighting. Just finish the tackles they have a chance at and they would be mediocre at least.

I think RR needs to let the Solomon era end. He just isn't a good fit for his offense due to his lack of running. Would not be surprised to see him transfer after this season, especially with Modster coming in.

This team is toast. Injuries, no bye week, QB controversy that shouldn't exist in the first place, and constant bitching by RichRod about kickoff times.

At this rate, it's all mental and Arizona can't figure it out. Reboot and get ready for next season.

As low as I am on Solomon I don't see a transfer or true freshman beating him out next year. Has there been any rumblings on Tate getting a shot at QB?

Tate is enrolling in January, so it's not out of the realm of possibility. Not sure what to think of Anu because he still has tremendous talent and potential, but I'm not enamored with him enough to think that he's irreplaceable.

Anu isn't accurate at least not down the field. His best skill is extending plays and even that doesn't always end well. He's missed a lot of throws by putting either too much air on his throws or not enough. I dunno he seems like a poor man's Matt Scott because he doesn't have much running ability past the LOS.

I don't think RR fully trusts him but RR deserves some blame as well.

Is Washington's defense really that good? You guys usually put up a lot of points, so the 49-3 score is a bit of a surprise.

It looks like there's something off the field going on between the WR's and Solomon. Either way don't be surprised if he's not on the roster next season.

It's possible Anu transfers to UNLV to be with his old HS coach.

As for WRs, I don't know. He and Jones are very good friends, but Cayleb's mom has been very vocal about her displeasure with how her son has been used in this offense.

Sounds Hokie to me.
