had a feeling he would have arizona on there......got a feeling that the cats are going to be a very trendy pick in that game (which worries me).........as long as the young qb willie tuitama isnt injured prior to the sc game (byu-@lsu-sam houston state before sc) then the cats should have a shot.....im gonna guess the line will be approx 7 or so (unless we beat all three teams or lose to all three teams prior to the sc game)
game is on abc regional coverage at 5pm pst (think it will be on espn2 whereever abc is not showing the game)
should be a good one
I am not totally sure why U of A is becoming a trendy pick...they were last in the PAC 10 in tackle for loss on the DLine...and to play defense in the PAC 10 you need consistant pressure from the DLine. The LB's look very inexperienced, but the DB's are very strong.
Tuitama looks to be the best QB U of A has had in a long time, but I am not quite sure why everyone has a hard on over him...is it because U of A hasn't had a QB there in so long that everyone is overrating him? Impressive first game performance against Oregon, then he carried that into the next week, throwing for 335 at Oregon State. But that pass defense was awful. He managed a good game at UCLA, scoring in the first quarter twice...but UCLAs pass defense was awful as well. Then, throws 3 picks at UW...and only throws for 149 against ASU and their awful defense.
I like him, but I think he is getting overhyped a tad bit.
