So says the Star today heading into the Big Game on Sat...
This is what the victory over 10th ranked Utah meant to the Cats...
It marked four straight wins over the Utes...
Four straight bowl appearances, the first time in school history that's happened...
32 wins in four years under Rich Rod, the winningest four year stretch in Wildcat history...
Four straight years the Cats have beaten a Top 10 ranked team...
The Sun Devils year has already been pretty much spoiled but the Cats, with a win, could make the suffering worse and could keep the Devils out of a bowl game...
Anu Solomon suffered his second concussion of the season according to the newspaper and his status is unknown for the big game, although one would think that a second concussion would keep him on the sidelines but with the Cats you never know...
The Cats have an explosive offense and a defense that features a MASH unit given all of the injuries they've suffered this season, with the loss of another LB (Jake Mathews) the latest casualty...
Meanwhile, the Devils have an inconsistent offense that lacks explosiveness and a fairly depleted defense as well, although probably not as depleted as the Cats...
This is where Graham, Rich Rod, Mora and Leach stand ending their fourth year at their respective schools...
UCLA = 7-3 & 4-3 already bowl eligible but lost to the Devils
Wazzu = 7-3 & 5-2 already bowl eligible but only has one prior bowl game on Leach's resume in Pullman and is only 12-22 in PAC so far over four seasons
AU = 6-5 & 3-5 and is bowl eligible as they played three non-conference cupcakes to start the season
ASU = 5-5 & 3-4 and need another win to become bowl eligible
Wazzu has to be the surprise team in the PAC this year while ASU has to be the biggest disappointment, I would think, based on preseason expectations...
Any thoughts about that conclusion and/or how the coaches would rank against each other after four years at their schools..??
I actually think that it is basically a dead heat comparing the four coaches and that Graham could've easily been in the lead if the Devils had lived up to expectations this season...
Championships or Bust...Go Devils!!!
