Arizona continues to move up the polls and the game against Cal this week looms in the distance as the biggest game of the year (each week will be this if we continue to win). It's a great time to be a Wildcat. Let's check out some other happenings around Arizona sports and the Pac-10:

The Oregon Ducks have reinstated Legarrette Blount and he could be eligible to play on Saturday against ASU. It's a shame if you ask me. Going after an opponent after a game has ended and punching him in the face. Video evidence? Why not:

More Quick Hits after the jump

Oregon smashed USC 40-27 two weeks ago but are still ranked behind the Trojans in the BCS standings. Even Pete Carroll doesn't understand. MNC for sure...

All Pac-10 has an Arizona Wildcats basketball preview up. They think the Cats will finish either 4th or 5th in the Pac. What do you think?

The Arizona vs. Oregon game has been picked up by ABC but the time still isn't set. Do not look past Cal. Repeat: Do not look past cal.

Apparently, there is the belief that true freshman Brock Osweiler is the new man on campus and there has been a an uprising in Tempe all year to pull senior Danny Sullivan in favor Osweiler. Great. That's just what we need. An Arizona State quarterback playing all 4 years. Good luck to Osweiler. It's kind of sad to watch ASU struggle so much.

Arizona gets ready for its brutal late season schedule. Stoops isn't breaking anything down and believes that worrying about scenarios would be "childish." Agreed.

The Wildcats picked up their 11th verbal commitment of the 2010 class by landing Jourdan Grandon out of Avondale, Arizona. Grandon is listed as an athlete and will probably play DB at Arizona. Winning breeds winning. I hope a lot of in stater's are looking at Arizona as a legitimate and exciting place to play.

Pac-10 Review

joenewby4040 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:37:30 -0000

Yesterday was a crazy day in the Pac-10 and leaves the race wide open for Arizona. After Stanford knocked off Oregon and Cal fell to Oregon State here is what the Pac looks like:

RANK	TEAM	RECORD	NEXT OPPONENT
1.	Oregon	5-1	Arizona State
2.	Arizona	4-1	@ California
3.	Stanford	5-2	@ USC
4.	USC	4-2	Stanford
5.	Oregon State	4-2	Washington
6.	California	3-3	Arizona
7.	Arizona State	2-4	@Oregon
8.	Washington	2-4	Oregon State
9.	UCLA	1-5	@Washington State
10.	Washington State	0-6	UCLA

Arizona is in prime position to control their own destiny. Let's take a look at the teams left on the Cats schedule and what happened to them this past weekend:

California. Cal is definitely beatable as they fell yesterday to Oregon State at home by 17 points. Jahvid Best left the game in the 2nd quarter after a terrifying slam into the turf while going in for a TD:

Best also suffered a concussion two weeks ago against Arizona State. One would have to think that two concussions in two weeks would keep Best out of the lineup this week against Arizona. (Update: Jahvid Best will NOT play against Arizona next weekend.) Cal was slated to be a Pac-10 contender to start the year but have fallen to Oregon, Southern Cal, and Oregon State in conference play. Without Best, they are a team without a superstar.

Oregon. Did anyone see this coming? Stanford absolutely did whatever they wanted on offense against Oregon, beating the Ducks 51-42. Toby Gerhart ran for a school record 223 yards and Andrew Luck threw for 3 touchdowns against the Ducks, taking out the Pac-10's top rated top team. Oregon was unable to stop Stanford's attack and their defense looked shaky trying to defend the run and the pass. Let's hope that Arizona took some notes and will watch the game film a lot.

Arizona State. The Sun Devils have had a tough year in the Pac-10 only racking up two wins against Washington and Washington State. Arizona State's starting QB Danny Sullivan threw a pick 6 against USC in the 2nd quarter which was enough for head coach Dennis Erickson to make the switch to Brock Osweiler. This was a move that a lot of ASU fans have been waiting for. Osweiler was 12-23 for 113 yards and threw 2 interceptions. Long days ahead in Tempe.

USC. USC has squeaked out a few wins this year at Notre Dame, Oregon State, and Ohio State. They have been playing lackluster offense all year behind their freshman Matt Barkley. They barely got by a mediocre Arizona State team this past weekend, winning 14-9 and only scoring 1 offensive touchdown. The Trojans still have Stanford, UCLA, and Arizona left on their schedule. The way Stanford looked yesterday, they may give USC a run for their money.

Wow. That was a full performance. Hats off to our special teams today. As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to keep an eye on our kickoff coverage for this game. John Bonano had 9 kickoffs today. There were 6 touchbacks and three other returns for 20, 18, and 19 yards. I would say that is impressive. Great job today for Bonano. Also, Bug Wright and Travis Cobb each had a special teams TD today.

Foles was impressive. Our offensive line was in the drivers seat today as well as our defense dominating the game from the start.

Who saw Oregon play today? Obviously they are beatable.
