I've seen Arizona play a couple times. They have a good team, very 
young, very resiliant and tough. They will be a good challenge. QB Nick 
Foles is big and not very mobile; he's also a freshman, though he 
typically doesn't play like one. The sort of defense that NU played last 
night might give him some problems. I don't see NU "dismantling" the 
Wildcats - top to bottom, the Pac 10 is pretty good, except for 
Washington State. But we can beat them. And in considering their record, 
know that they had Oregon all but beaten, then let them off the hook, 
and lost to Washington on a fluke play/bad call (a pass bounced off the 
receiver's foot and into the hands of UW defender, who ran it in for the 
winning TD). Sound familiar?
