I doubt that this game will continue in this way.  Arizona will play better in the second half, and we will need to keep up the intensity and not let things slip.  True national championship caliber teams would pour it on and not let Arizona back in the game.  We shall see if that description fits us.

I mean, hard to argue with a 24 point halftime lead against the #6 team in the country.

As you note, one would expect Arizona to play better in the second half, so some let-up is almost inevitable.  But I wouldn't take that as a sign of weakness so much as reversion to the mean.

Players like Prechtel and Jump has something to prove--they want to pour it on, I am sure.  And the memory of last year's loss won't make the team charitable or complacent.
