We have less reason to believe we can beat Arizona than we had that we could beat UCLA. Will the team that beat a ranked UW show up on Saturday, or will the team that lost to a 1-5 team take the field? Our four losses have been bad ones, not even close. Two of our three wins have been ugly. So, we have stunk up the field in 6 of our 7 games so far. That is a lot of stink to wash off to be presentable to a home crowd, especially when QBs 1 and 2 are not likely to play and QB 3 is still cleaning the poo from his pants after getting it knocked out of him by the Bruins.
BTW, can we just throw those black unis in a big pile and have a bonfire? Please?

Nice... Very nice.
I will refrain from making my prediction until I know who is starting at QB. If it's West, we lose by 10. If it's Costello, we might eke out a 3-point victory.
A lot also depends on who starts for Arizona at QB. Tate has fallen from grace, but he might be the more dangerous for the current iteration of our defense. His back-up is a more standard QB (read: pocket-passer with limited running game); and that might actually be better for us. Let's see. I don't suppose Sumlin will reveal anything prior to the game.
