Arizona held the early advantage in the fifth until a 3-0 Stanford run put the Cardinal up 8-7. Stanford – OLB Kevin Anderson and DL Nate Lohn are out. “It’s the wild west”, Shaw said. This is big-time college football and that’s what you need. The Northwestern game was hard to watch, and in the immediate aftermath much of the discussion in the fanbase was about resetting expectations for the team. In addition to the Wildcats, the Cardinal has not lost to Cal, Colorado, UCLA and Washington State during Shaw’s tenure.

“Our guys know the schedule”. Injuries are contagious sometimes, and no team is immune.
Stanford faces another Wildcats team when Arizona visits Saturday night.
Going into the season, the Wildcats’ two deepest areas seemed to be linebacker and wide receiver. We saw that when Randall completed just 4 of 16 passes against UCLA. Who do you see stepping up the most in the coming weeks? The Cardinal went on the win the frame 25-15.
Cuffe and Joe Rosa ran in the season-opening Fresno State Invitational, but Stanford treated that race as a workout.
Starting outside linebacker DeAndre’ Miller is back, but has missed two games.
“It was a tough loss”, said head coach Dave Rubio. Why Arizona Will Win It would be foolish to lose faith in Rich Rodriguez’s offense.Stanford has had problems with spread attacks in the past. McCaffrey also had 38 receiving yards and 59 yards on kickoff and punt returns. “But it’s a chicken-and-egg thing, because it’s the coaches’ job to get the players to execute”.
-WR Michael Rector is averaging 20.1 yards per catch. Stanford has allowed 200 yards rushing or more just three times in the past 30 games.
Arizona is 7-2 against the spread in its last nine games in October.
Fans would be wise to keep binocs focused on No. 35, Marx, as he lays hat, clearing lanes for the likes of Christian McCaffrey, Remound Wright, Barry Sanders and Bryce Love. On the ground, Nick Wilson rushed for 136 yards in 24 attempts. The women also won the cup in 2010-11 and 2011-12, the first two years it was offered. Stanford is 3-1, ranked No. 18.
Scouting the pass defense: Stanford’s inexperienced secondary was exploited a bit in the victory over Oregon State. He finished 4-for-16 for only 45 passing yards. Collins threw for 92, 79 and 135 yards in his first three starts. The Wildcats gave up 213 yards and six touchdowns on the ground to UCLA, and that was with Wright playing. “We have to go through Arizona first”.
Stanford’s offensive line started clicking in the second half against Central Florida and hasn’t looked back. After the score being tied 9-9, the Wildcats won six points in a row, aided by Stanford unforced errors and efficient serving from Mackenzie Kleespies and Larson. If you could not wrap up Barry Sanders, the odds were good he would use his fancy footwork to find room to break a big play, oftentimes reaching the end zone.
Hayley Hodson led Stanford with a career-high tying 18 kills and seven digs.
All four of Arizona’s losses have come to teams now ranked in the top 13 of the AVCA Top 25.
The running game has been where Arizona has found the most success this season. DL Aziz Shittu (undisclosed) and Brennan Scarlett (undisclosed) are probable. X-rays revealed no broken bones and no ligament tears. Through a few miracle, however, both players are now expected to play on Saturday.

-DT Harrison Phillips is out for the season with a torn ACL. In Week 1, it was Northwestern redshirt freshman Clayton Thorson, who played well in the Wildcats’ 16-6 upset.
