So nice to watch an exciting game
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:59 AM ^
This is what used to piss me off when Rich Rod was here: the OL was a bunch of underclassmen who were being overpowered by people who were older and stronger, but the so-called "Michigan men" said that they were "soft."
What you are seeing right now is a third-year Rich Rod team with upperclassmen on the OL playing better MANBALL against Oregon than Sparty did, and better than Michigan has against anyone in a power five conference.
I don't know if they will prevail against Oregon, who has much better personnel right now, but anyone who says Rich Rod can't coach is not paying attention.

Oregon has big plays here and there with quality of their skill players, but AZ winning the battle of the lines.
Always a cliche but we understand here now after this era the importance of line play so much more than a decade ago. Lets Wisconsin be a top 3 Big 10 team every year now just like our OL was top 3 in the Big 10 for decades and we were always at least a good team at minimum if not great.... and you see how a true freshman can win on a road verus a Heisman candidate QB - much better lines on AZ.

What would the score be right now if the Hoke-led Wolverines were about to start the 4th quarter at Oregon?
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:03 AM ^
Do scoreboards show negative numbers?

Michigan - 0
Oregon - ERROR ERROR! CANNOT COMPUTE!
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:03 AM ^
Royals looking to take game 1 off the Angels as well. Up 3-2 in the top of the 11th now.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:03 AM ^
I'm going to pay in the morning, but I stay up for this one! This is why I love NCAA football.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:08 AM ^
You should be able to catch up Sat. nite
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:05 AM ^
Holy defense
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:05 AM ^
I love the physicality of AZ! Hahaha stuffed that wimpy Oregon team 3x!
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:05 AM ^
great stop by AZ.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:05 AM ^
No way Arizona shouldn't be in the top 25. They would beat OSU and most other teams 15-25.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:06 AM ^
WOW, held em to a FG. I think Jesse was right, they shoulda ran it before the quarter closed. Impressive defense
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:06 AM ^
4th and Goal. The fighting RichRods somehow managed to bend and not break. Kept Oregon out of the endzone one first and goal at the 3. That's impressive.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:06 AM ^
Touchdown-saving tackle at the one on this drive. May be the game winning play.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:06 AM ^
Hard to do anything starting backup tackles. If we're dealing in hypotheticals, how much better would M be with Dior Mathis and Jake Fisher.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:07 AM ^
knows where to go with the ball.. Two holding penalties though
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:08 AM ^
"A short gain on first down" = 4 yards for AZ.
Dude thats not short. Sincerely, UM fan
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:09 AM ^
So few TFL.
So few sacks.
First downs always positive yardage.
What is this sorcery?
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:09 AM ^
Freshman QB looking good running a complex system. He's had his growing pains and will no doubt have some more, but pretty darn impressive.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:09 AM ^
Arizona's failed runs still get 3-5 yards.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:09 AM ^
I don't think anyone realizes, it's been since PAT WHITE that RR has had a multi-year starter...
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:40 AM ^
And he's got RS freshman Solomon at QB, who won four state championships starting at QB in HS, and true freshman RB Nick Wilson. He's got his White-Slaton combo again.
October 3rd, 2014 at 10:09 AM ^
Champion UGA was unbelievable, the show those two put on.
The game was in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome because Katrina had gutted the Superdome, so it was basically a home game for UGA and it was 21-0 before the fans were done being seated.
There are YouTube clips a-plenty from that game featuring UGA fan reaction shots alone...it was one of the most amazing "how-do-you-do, we're-new-here, we'll-be-wrecking-your-life-for-the-next-sixty-minutes" debut performances ever. I mean NOBODY saw that coming.
Thinking back in late 2007 that we were going to get that offense in Ann Arbor gave me just about the biggest FOOTBAW BONER I've ever had.
October 3rd, 2014 at 2:48 AM ^
Hey, the guy even got Threet to make a few amazing runs against Wisconsin that first year.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:10 AM ^
The difference here is that RR was given a blank canvas at Arizona. He was allowed to do what he wanted without interference.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:11 AM ^
And had his fav D co-ordinator
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:29 AM ^
Oh jesus christ he beat oregon last year too and still finished with 5 losses, Arizona being succesful is the most annoying thing that could happen to this board. Just because it is happening there doesn't mean it would have ever happened here.
October 3rd, 2014 at 2:52 AM ^
Yeah, actually it does. In fact, with the talent here, it could've been better. But you're right, with the cabal of closed-minded Michigan Men whacking off to their traditions of Man Ball working against him, it couldn't, and didn't, work here. Embrace the irrelevency.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:10 AM ^
QB put too much air under that screen...
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:10 AM ^
Damn Oregon blitzed and AZ had a screen, that looked like it would be a huge play. Then a fumble. CUMONG AZ!
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:11 AM ^
the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
*sigh*
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:12 AM ^
Well nice job there by Oregon DL finally. Fun game. Sort of like our game with (goes back thru memory bank) uhh yeah OSU 2013.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:12 AM ^
Might have been a bad call
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:12 AM ^
homer refs on that fumble call - amirite. Those refs really screwing ARIZONA tonight.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:18 AM ^
Forward progress was stopped, and there was a good chance the AZ player's left knee was down, not a bad call, not great either.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:13 AM ^
Don't break my heart, it's past 1am
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:14 AM ^
What would happen if AZ went to the playoffs this year? haha
Obviously they are flawed and a freshman QB so not realistic but I cannot even imagine the reaction.
The next 3 weeks are brutal but it lightens up after that until that big ASU game at the end of the year. Cmon Rich Rods!

It will be good to see what happens to them in that Utah game.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:19 AM ^
But . . .but . . .Utah is really really good.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:20 AM ^
pretty handily.
With a QB who had never been recruited to play college football at any level, and who broke all of Arizona's QB rushing records that year.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:18 AM ^
Smooth sailing? Did you not see Utah in there?!!?!?
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:22 AM ^
My bad! I forgot Utah, Minnesota, and ND will be 3 of the 4 playoff teams.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:15 AM ^
Looked like Solomon could've pulled and ran for the first but I think that last fumble was on his mind. Same thing happened vs. WSU.. Oregon is not the second best team in the country, but I will eat my words if they win the PAC 12.
October 3rd, 2014 at 1:16 AM ^
SACKED, sorry mama Mariota
