Some Game ThemesA battle of unbeatens for the second consecutive year, with Iowa sporting its No. 9 APranking and UA checking in for the first time this season at No. 24... A national stage(ESPN) for the battle... A game involving a boatload of outstanding individual performerson both sides of the field... A match of two squads with dominating scoring splurges intheir first two games (UA 93-8 and Iowa 72-14). Arizona thereby wouldn't be pessimisticin expecting Iowa to score a touchdown, but it would be the first one of the year notchedagainst the Cats... The Hawkeyes hit the road for the first time (and their only non-conference road game) in 2010 while Arizona plays host in game two of a four-gamehomestand... UA wraps up its non-conference slate, while eight-games-only Big Ten squadIowa still has a tilt with Ball State following... The Cats try to solve Iowa's 227-yard rushing

attack and complementary vertical passing game, while the Hawks will have to figure outArizona's 344-yard throwing package and complementary running game. Both seemcapable: UA carries the No. 3 total defense among FBS schools, while Iowa's is No. 9...Iowa brings a poise factor underscored by a mere five penalties in two contests. The Catshave been poised in another area, turnovers (+1.5, No. 15)... Two squads that have beengood to date in the red zone (UA 83% and Iowa 80%) on offense and been stingy in evenpermitting such forays by opponents (UA's allowed two, Iowa just four)... A pair of teamsfrom two conferences to change a year hence...

Last WeekArizona eschewed some of its aerial goods and used quickness in the backfield to runpast The Citadel Bulldogs, 52-6, in front of 54,814 happy fans in Arizona Stadium. NicGrigsby scored three times on 11 carries, earning his 11th career 100-yard rushing gamewith 107 markers, averaging 9.7 yards per tote, while No. 3 running back Greg Nwokoscored twice on seven carries including a downhill burst for 23 yards. Grigsby hit a 62-yard strider moments into the second half to give UA a 31-0 lead. The Wildcat defensemade the option-attack Bulldogs one-dimensional, holding them to three yards per carry

on 50 attempts and 171 total yards in offense. That effort helped hold The Citadel to twofield goals. UA scored in all four periods for the second consecutive game and piled up 21in the third quarter. Junior quarterback Nick Foles completed 17 of 22 throws for 214yards and a score, while backup Matt Scott (3-for-6) and Bryson Beirne (5-for-5) also wereconsistent. The latter threw his first touchdown pass of his career, a 5-yarded to fresh-man tight end Jack Baucus to complete the night's scoring. The Cats took advantage ofthree fumble recoveries (in six total by the Bulldogs), twice scoring on short-field drives otwo and one plays (and less than 30 seconds each) plus running out the final minutesafter the third miscue. The Cats were solid with six scores in six trips in the red zone, fiveof them touchdowns. Alex Zendejas' 41-yard field goal was the third-longest of his careerand moved him to 78% career effectiveness. Offensively Arizona had a 489-yard evening,with 7.1 yards per play, 8.3 yards per pass attempt, 5.9 yards per rush and team passcompletion percentage of 75 percent. Redshirt freshman DT Justin Washington collectedhis second sack of the year and combined (6) with sidekick senior Lolomana Mikaele (5)for 11 tackles in the middle of things. Arizona used 67 players in the game, getting somevaluable work for just about everyone.

Arizona In The RankingsArizona enters this weeks game ranked No. 24 in the Associated Press Top 25 and No. 18in the USA Today Coaches Poll. UA appears in the AP Top 25 for the first time this seasonThe Wildcats debuted in the USA Today Coaches Poll on Tuesday, Sept. 7, at No. 23.

The CoachesArizona - Mike Stoops (Iowa 86), seventh year (35-39) at UA and overall as a head coach. Stoopsreturned Arizona from a 2-10 program the year before his arrival to the national rankings in histenure, and has taken the Wildcats to successive bowl games to close the decade. His recruiting player development programs have put talent back on the field and sent more than a dozen playto the professional ranks via the draft or free agency in the past four years. He has coached natioaward winners and a combined 28 All-Pacific-10 players. His Arizona clubs have beaten a rankedteam each of his years in the red and blue, Arizona football attendance has been a positive featuof a home-field advantage under Coach Stoops, with crowds averaging 93 percent of capacity eaof his six seasons at Arizona Stadium. Arizonas football team APR checked in with an improved meach of the five seasons since his inaugural year. Iowa - Kirk Ferentz (Connecticut '78), 12th yearwith the Hawkeyes (83-55) and 15th year overall (95-76). He was Big Ten Coach of the Year in 200He was an offensive assistant at Iowa under Hayden Friy for nine years and an offensive coach inNFL for six year. His assistantship in Iowa City coincided with Mike Stoops' playing tenure as aHawkeye safety and Stoops' early years as a G.A. and volunteer coach for Fry.

The Last MeetingArizona had what Coach Mike Stoops called a total team effort at Iowa, and stunk across the boain dropping one to the Hawkeyes, 27-17, in Iowa City last September. That was not to discredit Iowhich hung on to the ball for 38 minutes and took advantage of Arizona's uncertainty from theonset, marching 10 plays and 75 yards off the opening kickoff. The Cats had more than their sharchances, held a second-quarter lead and were within a touchdown late in the third quarter. But fourth stanza (10:5), like the first (13:2), showed UI with a sizeable margin in time of possession quite indicative of in-the-trenches dominance and the game wasn't truly in question. UA had a to

of eight first downs, its lowest output in 36 games since that same number against USC in 2006.Inability to move the chains kept any semblance of continuity out of Arizona's attack, whichotherwise checked in with an advantage (5.0 to 4.1) in average yards per play. The UA defense hIowa to 338 total yards, but failed on its end of the chain-gang aspect, giving up 10 of 19 third-doconversions. Notable there was failing to hold on a Stoops-cited 3rd-and-23 play in the secondquarter, when Hawkeye Adam Robinson rumbled for 43 yards to set up the go-ahead touchdownthe had-its-chances department, Arizona squandered a potential momentum builder shortly befthat in wasting a 1st-and-goal at the Iowa 1 yard-line with a rush for a loss and two incompletepasses to settle for an Alex Zendejas 20-yard field goal. That one five-minute stretch signified thekind of day it was for the Cats in front of the 70,585 Hawkeyes faithful. Sophomore Nick Foles caoff the bench in the fourth period to lead Arizona on a nine-play, 63-yard scoring drive capped byTD pass to Juron Criner. While too late and a slightly no-matter score, it was important for itsstewardship by Foles in place of starter Matt Scott. Arizona had some standout defensive performances led by sophomore cornerback Trevin Wade, whose 38-yard interception return had tied score at 7-7 early on. He had a career-best seven tackles and broke up three other passes. Defenend Ricky Elmore had a career-high eight hits and 1.5 sacks.

Against Ranked TeamsArizona head coach Mike Stoops' squads have beaten a ranked team in each of his six previousseasons, most recently No. 20 USC at the Coliseum last season. Stoops teams have a respectablemark against AP top-10 schools at Arizona Stadium, including victories over No. 7 UCLA in 2005(514), No. 8 California in 2006 (24-20) and No. 2 Oregon in 2007 (34-24). The victory over the Bruin2005 snapped an 0-for-10 run of games against top-10 teams in Arizona Stadium that dated backthe Cats memorable upset of No. 1 Washington (16-3) in 1992. Overall, Stoops is 8-17 vs. rankedclubs. Historically Arizona is 38-91-1 against teams ranked by the AP. Over the years Arizona is 15against teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 10.

Tale of Third DownsSaturdays game could very well be decided by which team wins the battle of third down conver

sions. Both schools have been strong in the category in the early part of 2010, with the Wildcatsconverting 61 percent (36 percent for opponents) and the Hawkeyes converting 56 percent (30percent for opponents) on third downs this season. Last years matchup was indicative of theimportance of keeping drives alive. Iowa converted 10 of 19 third downs in Iowa City a season agmaintaining a 37:56-22:04 advantage in time of possession. Undoubtedly, it wore down the Arizodefense, which surrendered 13 second half points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. Arizonastruggled to convert third downs, gaining just two conversions in 12 situations. The result wasgetting in only 51 offensive plays (compared to 74 for Iowa) and a lack of scoring opportunities.

Best to Not See RedArizona and Iowa are both tied for No. 7 nationally in red zone defense. The Wildcats have onlyallowed two opponent drives into the red zone, resulting in one score (0.50, field goal). TheHawkeyes have allowed four drives, which have resulted in two scores (0.50, two TDs). Arizona isone of three teams nationally (Florida International and Arkansas) that have allowed only three Zone points so far in 2010.

Arizona Coaching StaffAssistant Coaches and Staff

Visiting the ZonaZoo?The Wildcats have developed quite a home field advantage playing in Arizona Stadium in front ofone of the largest and most spirited student sections in the country - the ZonaZoo - and a loyal fanbase that has turned out in record numbers during the Mike Stoops era.

UA has won 13 of its last 16 home games Only losses to No. 6 USC and No. 22 Oregon State in 2008, and No. 11 Oregon in 2OT in 2009 The three losses have come by a total of 12 points (4 ppg average) UA has won its 13 games by an average of 24.5 ppg UA has just one single-digit victory in the span (2009 vs. Stanford) UA's 5-1 record in 2009 was its best home record since it went 5-1 three straight yearsfrom 96-98 UA has averaged 50,000+ fans per game for six straight seasons, the best stretch in schoolhistory UA has averaged 52,830 fans per game in Mike Stoops' six seasons, with a 22-18 record A total of 2,113,226 fans have watched Stoops' teams at Arizona Stadium The ZonaZoo seats over 10,000 first-come, first-served patrons from endzone-to-endzone andhas a membership well over 12,000 and growing, which accounts for one-third of UA's enroll-ment.

Sept. 16, 1989The date has no direct common link to a UA opponent on the 2010 schedule and it does not matchup with a scheduled game for the Cats. So what is the significance? There are two unrelated links tothe date. First, when UA limited The Citadel to 21 total net passing yards last Saturday, it was the

fewest passing yards allowed by a UA team in a single game since the W ildcats defeated No. 6Oklahoma, 6-3, in Tucson on that September day back in 1989. On that day, UA tied a school recordset seven other times with 0 yes, zero passing yards allowed. The second tie to the game relatesto this Saturdays showdown with No. 9 Iowa. It marks the most recent occasion that Arizonadefeated a top-10 non-conference opponent inside Arizona Stadium. UA defeated the Sooners thatday on a late field goal by Doug Pfaff. Other meetings with top-10 non-league opponents havebeen rare. In fact, the last time it happened was in 1991, when the Wildcats lost to No. 2 Miami. Alltime, the Cats are 2-4 against non-conference foes ranked in the top-10 in Tucson.

Miscellaneous Football FactoidsBug Wright had initial punt returns of 15 and six yards against The Citadel, then fumbled his last tryfor a -13 net to drop him from 10th nationally to 39th at 9.7 yards per return... In a little show ofbalance, Arizona had 10 players run the ball and 11 players catch the ball last week. The variety inthe passing game is especiallly positive what with the Cats' designed approach therein. Redshirtfreshman tight end Jack Baucus had the first touchdown catch (from Bryson Beirne) of his career

against The Citadel, while backs caught six throws, inside receivers snared nine and the outside guysgrabbed nine... Senior DE Brooks Reed returned to the sacks column against The Citadel while jucotransfer linebacker Derek Earls notched his first career sack. Along with Justin Washington's sackthat gave UA three in 14 Bulldog designed passing plays, a nice piece of pass-rush work against ateam requiring stay-home discipline because of its option play... Junior letterman John Bonano, whowrested the kickoff duties from Alex Zendejas at mid-year in 2009, has seen some serious actionwith 17 kicks in the first two games. He gets it to the goal line or beyond with regularity... Arizona isfifth nationally with a third-down conversion rate of 61 percent. The Hawkeyes are 10th at 56percent... The Cats are fourth nationally (tied) with four fumble recoveries... Arizona is third in theFBS in allowing only 10 opponent first downs per game (with Iowa right behind at 10.5)... Arizona isfourth nationally in allowing -3.3 yards per punt return. Keenyn Crier has had enough hang time oneach of his six punts to prohibit open-field space for the return man...

Where Grigsby Stacks Up

Senior tailback Nic Grigsby has moved up to No. 3 on the UA career rushing touchdown chart (25)and No. 6 in school history with 2,584 career rushing yards . That total puts him No. 10 on the list ofactive players in the NCAA for career rushing yards. Grigsby needs 416 yards to become the school'ssixth player to reach 3,000 career rushing yards. Here are some more quick hits on Nic Grigsby:

Currently stands as UA No. 6 rusher in school history with 2,584 yards (10th-most foractive FBS players) His 25 career rushing TDs tie Trung Canidate for No. 3 all-time at UA. Two rushing scores from tying Ronald Veals 27 for No. 2 at UA His 107 rushing yards against The Citadel marked his 11th career 100-yard game Arizona is 10-1 in games he rushes for 100 yards or more. Tied career high with three rushing touchdowns against The Citadel Average of 5.46 yards per carry in career, including 6.02 ypc since start of 2008. Had 1,153 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2008

Pac-10 Preseason Media PollFirst Place Votes in ( )

Big Play JuronWide receiver Juron Criner turned in a breakout season as a sophomore a year ago when heemerged as UA's big-play threat on the outside. His 2010 debut, which included a 10-catch, 176-yperformance, showed he has taken further steps to becoming on of the nations most outstandireceivers. The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder is on the Biletnikoff preseason watch list and should be on list as it narrows down throughout the season. Here are some quick hits on Juron Criner:

Just one TD (11 currently) shy of breaking into UA's career top-10 for receiving TD's Led Pac-10 receivers with nine (9) receiving touchdowns in 2009 Six of 11 (55 percent) career TD grabs have been 20+ yard plays 43 of 65 (66 percent) of career catches result in first down or TD 19.7 yards per catch on 12 receptions in 2010 10-catch, 176-yard performance at Toledo 2010 12-catch, 152-yard effort against Stanford in 2009 Career-high three (3) touchdowns vs. Oregon in 2009 Led all UA receivers with a 12.9 yards per catch average in 2009 As a sophomore, hauled in TD catches at Iowa, at Oregon State and at USC

Foles Making a Name for HimselfArizona junior quarterback Nick Foles continues to show why he is one of the top quarterbacks inthe nation. An honorable mention all-league pick as a first-year starter in 2009. This summer, he one of four QBs (Jake Locker, Andrew Luck and Matt Barkley) selected by the Pac-10 office torepresent the league in East Coast media days in New York and at ESPN headquarters in Bristol,Conn. Voted by teammates as a team captain, Foles kicked off his junior campaign in style with a

record setting performance at Toledo and set what could set up to be a special junior campaign.Here are some quick hits on Nick Foles:

Preseason watch list for Davey OBrien and Manning awards Surpassed the 3,000 yard mark for career passing yards vs. The Citadel Has thrown for 3,060 yards in 13 career games (12 starts) Just 208 yards shy of moving into UAs career top-10 passing yards No. 10 in UA history with 21 career passing TDs His 19 passing TDs in 2009 tied for fourth-most in a season at UA 63.41% completion percentage in 2009 No. 3 in UA history Career-high 416 yards passing vs. Stanford in 2009 Holds UA record for single game pass completion % for 30+ attempts (86.49% at Toledo, 201

Double Dip for BalanceArizona checks in No. 3 nationally in the FBS for total defense (177.0) and No. 12 for total offens(503.5), not bad for an early-year hint of balance The defense will be challenged this week by asignificant jump in competition, facing an Iowa squad that has shown equal balance... UA's predonant use of the Coin-Operated Defense in the opener at Toledo (nickel and dime formations) wasabandoned to handle The Citadels triple-option attack UA will likely face a more traditional loofrom the Hawkeyes, which should result in UA keeping three linebackers on the field much of thetime, although the Hawkeyes can spread things out a bit in passing situations, when the UA willcounter with its aforementioned coin-operated looks in the secondary.

Touchdownless DefenseArizona held Toledo to just two points (offensive holding penalty in endzone) in the 2010 seasonopener and limited The Citadel to a pair of field goals. It marked the second and third times timethe Stoops era that the Wildcats held the opposition without a touchdown. Interestingly, the firstime was also in a season opener when UA shut out Idaho 70-0 in 2008.

Knocking It DownThe Wildcat defense has 10 passes messed up -- one interception and nine PBUs through twogames. Pretty nice total against 37 passes attempted, and just 17 complete passes allowed. Mid-y

juco transfer linebacker Derek Earls had the interception and three passes defensed in the openeThe three PBUs were the most for a Wildcat since cornerback Trevin Wade had three (plus aninterception) at Iowa last year. UA ranks No. 4 in the nation in pass efficiency defense, limitingopposing QBs to a cumulative 68.65 rating.

Four SquaredArizona scored in all four quarters at Toledo for the first time in its last six games. UA followed thup by repeating the feat against The Citadel. Previously, the last time was against WSU in TucsonNov. 7, one of six times UA scored in each stanza last season. Needless to say, the Cats were prettsuccessful at 5-1 in the contests, averaging around 43 points per game.

Colin the ShotsUA center Colin Baxter returns for his final season in a Wildcat uniform and will undoubtedly becalling the shots on the offensive line. He has started 39-consecutive games along UA's line,providing stability at a position of need. In 2008, he was slid from guard to center mid-year aftercenter Blake Kerley went down with a season-ending injury. Since, Baxter hasn't look back. He's afeatured spokesman for the team, offering unique perspective acquired from his time in thetrenches and his tireless work with the program on and off the field. He was named a team captaprior to the season for the second straight year and will make a final push for national honors at position. An All-Pac-10 selection a year ago, Baxter is on the Outland Trophy and Rimington Awawatch lists entering the season.

Old Man on the BlockArizona graduate offensive tackle Adam Grant, who moves to the left side this year after a coupleyears on the right, is an NCAA-approved sixth-year player thanks to some earlier medical problemthat caused him to miss nine games as a sophomore (knee) and his redshirt freshman year in 200(knee). He also missed six games with a hand injury in 2008. Grant's tenacity and physical situatioare at all-time highs. The 24-year-old religious studies student earned his degree two Mays ago. a 19-game starter in 21 overall appearances and one of the team's spokesmen on a variety of topnotably perseverance. He initially was recruited as a tight end (redshirted 2005 in that role) but hbig frame (now 6-foot-8, 325) was evident, and his future was a few feet closer to the ball from tonset of his career.

Cats in the PacArizona's 6-3 mark in the Pac-10 in 2010 was its best since 1998 and is the third six-win Pac-10season in program history. The record gave the Wildcats 14 victories in their last 22 conference

games, dating to the last four games of the 2007 season. That 14-8 record (0.636 winning percenage) is impressive by itself, but even in the Wildcats' eight losses, they have been just a few playsaway from winning each game. UA has lost five of the eight games by three points or less and by total of 37 points (average of 4.6 per game).

Late Season SuccessMike Stoops' Wildcats have enjoyed a nice run of success in the months of November and December since his arrival in 2004 despite back-to-back losses at Cal and against Oregon. A career recor33-39 includes a 14-10 mark in the final two months of the season. Over the last three seasons,Arizona is 11-7 in such late-season games. But, perhaps most impressive, the Wildcats are 7-4against ranked teams in November/December showdowns, , which includes last year's Las VegasBowl win over BYU last December. Last year, the Cats entered November with a national ranking their own, but dropped from the polls after a loss at California. A victory at No. 20 USC vaulted thCats back into the polls at the end of the regular season, but a bowl loss to No. 20 Nebraska agai

dropped the Cats from the polls.

Golden Worth His Weight in GoldJunior defensive back Robert Golden will be one of the expected leaders of the Wildcat defenseafter starting 13 games a season ago at safety. The one difference this season is that the 5-11, 190-pounder is lining up at cornerback this season. A natural corner, Golden shifted to safety last year asDevin Ross returned as a starter and the emergence of Trevin Wade brought some welcomeddepth. The UA continues to show solid depth, but this time around it's the young and talentedsafeties in the program that will allow Golden to move back to the island. You will see him line upnside at nickel and safety spots in certain defensive packages, but the second-year starter is eager

to show his skills at corner once again.

IN"T" WadeCornerback Trevin Wade enters his junior season with nine career interceptions in just 15careergames started. He snared five interceptions and broke up 14 passes a year ago to lead the Wildcatsand emerge as one of the Pac-10's premier corner backs. He enters his junior season with potentialto move into some lofty career charts by season's end should he remain healthy and productive. AnAll-League pick a year by coaches, Wade enters 2010 on several preseason watch lists, includingconsideration for the Jim Thorpe Award and Bronko Nagurski Award. He is one of four returningstarters and is expected to be a top playmaker for the Wildcats.

Elmore Looking for MoreDefensive end Ricky Elmore turned in a breakout junior season as he has emerged as the Pac-10'ssack leader through 12 regular season games in 2009. Elmore tallied a career-high 10.5 sacks inmuch-needed fashion as classmate Brooks Reed struggled through the early-middle portion of theschedule with an ankle injury. Reed returned last year as one of the more heralded ends in the

eague, but Elmore more than filled in on the opposite side. Elmore's 10.5 sacks were the most for aWildcat in a decade, surpassing Joe Tafoya's 10.0 set back in 1999. The next best total was 11.5 byJoe Salave'a in 1997. Then it's Tedy Bruschi's 14.5 and 19.0 totals in the 1995 and 1993 seasons,respectively.

Reed Ready to LeadSenior defensive end Brooks Reed is eager to put a disappointing junior season behind him. It wasdisappointing only because a high ankle injury suffered in Week 3 at Iowa hampered him much ofthe season, including missing all or most of several mid-season games. He had returned as UA'seader in sacks from a breakout sophomore season when he tallied 8.5 in 2008. Reed, named one of

four team captains for this season, will combine with 2009 breakout man Ricky Elmore to give theWildcats one of the top bookend defensive end combos in the nation. Health will be much wel-comed and much needed for both players on the line.

Rushing to SuccessThe spread offense has taken over college football in recent seasons and the Wildcats jumped onthe bandwagon with Sonny Dykes and his staff in 2007. With it came a record-setting passingseason for Arizona in 2007 and back-to-back eight-win seasons in 2008 and 2009. But the Wildcatshave found their success most consistent in running the football, not tossing is around for 300-plusyards per game. Not coincidentally, a more consistent ground game the last few seasons has helpedthe Wildcats win more games. Consider this rush of facts:

Arizona is just 6-7 in games when it passes for 300+ yards since the start of 2006 Arizona is 6-1 in games when its opponent throws for 300+ yards in a game since '06 Arizona is 23-6 in games when it rushes for 100+ yards in a game since `06 Arizona is just 12-19 in games when its opponent rushes for 100+ yards in a game since `06 Only four teams have beat UA when rushing for less than 100 yards since the start of `06 UA has not lost a game in the last two-plus seasons when opponent rushes for less than100 yards

Mike Stoops Program: The Last Four+ YearsWhen one thinks of Arizona football under Mike Stoops, they likely point to the early struggles ithe first four years as he worked feverishly to rebuild the program followed by promising eight-wseasons the last two years. One thing that goes overlooked is the fact that, despite injuries torecord-setting QB Willie Tuitama, the Wildcats posted a 6-6 mark in 2006 to achieve bowl eligibon the heels of a pair of 3-8 seasons. While they didn't go bowling, the Cats had broken a stretchsix straight losing seasons for the program. The following year, Stoops brought in Sonny Dykes tooverhaul the offense. While Arizona posted just a 5-7 mark in 2007, the offensive makeover waswell underway and set the stage for breakout years in 2008 and 2009, as the Cats went bowling the first time since 1998 in each season. Now, UA has winning overall and Pac-10 records the lasfour seasons. Surely, having his systems firmly established and his recruits in place has benefitteStoops' teams over the long haul. Here's a look at the last four seasons - three of which have bebowl-eligible campaigns - for Stoops' Wildcats as it relates to the previous four and seven yearstretches of UA football:

UA is 21-11 in its last 32 games (0.656), including a 14-8 mark in the Pac-10 UA has averaged 6.75 wins per seasons the last four years UA averaged just 4.0 wins per season over the previous seven seasons UA is 9-9 on the road in the Pac-10 the last four years UA never won more than one road game in a season from 2002-05 UA has five more total Pac-10 wins the last four-plus years (19) than the previous sevenyears combined (14)

Rushing Attack IntactArizonas running back trio of Nic Grigsby, Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko has combined for near4,000 career rushing yards. Through last weeks game at Toledo, the current tally is 4,066 rushingyards, paced by Nic Grigsbys 2,584 yards, which places him No. 10 amongst active players in theNCAA for career rushing yards. Throw in Matt Scotts 489 career markers as a dual-threat quarteback, and you tally 4,555 career rushing yards ready to see the field at any time.

Leading the WayThe Arizona Wildcats voted on their team captains 10 days prior to the season opener, with fourveterans drawing the respect of their teammates. Senior defensive linemen Brooks Reed and MaMikaele will represent the defense as captains, while senior center Colin Baxter and junior quartback Nick Foles will carry the honors for the offense. Two other players, wide receiver David Roband linebacker Jake Fischer, will represent the football team in UA's Student Athlete AdvisoryCommittee (SAAC), which works with athletic administrators to provide feedback on improving tArizona experience for student-athletes.

Zendejas on PointSomewhat quietly, 2010 Lou Groza Award watch list member Alex Zendejas turned in an impressyear for a place kicker in his first year of a full duty a season ago. Zendejas connected on 17-of-2field goals, including a career-long 47-yarder at the end of the first half against Oregon and a gamwinning 32-yarder as time expired against ASU (named Pac-10 Special teams Player of the Weekthe game-winner). He's missed three PATs, but still hit 38-of-41, giving him 89 points on the yeartied with uncle Max's 89 points in the 1985 season, which is the No. 10 mark for a single season scoring (all players). In 2007, Jason Bondzio became the first UA kicker to reach 100. Alex's four fgoals in four tries at Washington tied the school record for which he already grabbed a share. Heon relative chip shots of 18, 23, 29 and 24 yards against the Huskies. For his effort, Zendejas wasnamed one of three "Stars of the Week" by the Lou Groza Collegiate Place Kicker Award. He opethe season 4-for-5 against Central Michigan to join four other former Wildcats with four in a gamHis UW performance also gave him a piece of the 4-for-4 single-game high-percentage mark helthe same four kickers (Doug Pfaff vs. Stanford 1989, Max Zendejas at LSU 1984, Charlie Gorham

Indiana 1973 and Steve Jurley vs. UTEP 1968).

YPC Facts and FiguresIn 2009, the Arizona rushing attack averaged 4.8 yards per carry, the best average for a UA squadsince 1999 when career rushing leader Trung Canidate was finishing up his stellar career. It alsocontinued a trend of steady improvement by the W ildcats in recent seasons under the newoffensive staff that was headed by Sonny Dykes from 2007-09. Dykes brought with him BillBedenbaugh, who is now a co-offensive coordinator and one who deserves significant credit forrevamping UA's offensive line, and with it, the running game as a whole. Consider that in 2006,prior to Bedenbaugh's arrival, the Cats rushed for just 2.7 yards per carry. That number inched u2.9 ypc in 2007, before skyrocketing to 4.1 ypc in 2008 and eventually the 4.8 mark a year ago. Tconsecutive seasons with 4.0+ yards per carry is a first for the Cats since the 1998-99 squads thafeature Candidate did so with 4.9 and 5.2 averages, respectively.

Turnover FortunesArizona's success on the gridiron hinges greatly on its fortunes in the turnover battle, particularly on the road. Since the start of the 2006 seasontotal games), the Wildcats are an impressive 14-3 when they win the turnover battle in a game. Conversely, they struggle to a 4-12 mark in gamewhen they lose the critical battle. The Cats linger just over .500 in games they split the turnover margin with an 11-8 mark. In multiple miscuegames, Arizona is just 11-15 when it turns the ball over two or more times, but has benefitted with a 10-3 clip when opponents turn it over twicmore in a game. But perhaps the most notable statistical trend as it relates to turnovers is the fact that the Cats are 0-9 in the last 52 games whethey lose the turnover battle on the road. At the same time, UA is 10-4 away from the home when it wins or splits the turnover battle.

Moving the ChainsThe Wildcats' offensive attack the last several years has been very good at moving the chains and keeping drives alive. A good game in this categ

ncludes accumulating 20 or more first downs in a game. When the Cats reach that mark, they are 14-4 over the last 28 games and 19-6 since thstart of the 2006 season. At the same time, keeping opponents under that mark is critical, too. UA has captured 22 of its 29 victories over the lasfour years by keeping opponents under 20 first downs in a game. If UA gets 20 and keeps its opponents below that number in the same game, thCats win better than 80-percent of the time (14-3 record).

Game of PossessionWhile not always the case, maintaining possession of the football is a sign that one's offense is moving the ball and its defense is doing a sound jcontrolling the opposing offense That has usually been the case for the Wildcats, although some quirky games (such as a 23:32 edge in possessioat Oregon in 2008) skew TOP from being a perfect stat. Even so, Arizona is 21-7 since the start of 2006 when it has a positive margin in time ofpossession and struggles to just a 8-16 mark when its opponents keeps the ball longer. For games in which the opponent controls the ball four omore minutes longer than the Cats yields a 3-13 record for the Cardinal and Navy. When the tables are turned and UA has the four-plus minutespossession, the Cats are 16-6.

Fast Starts

Since the start of the 2008 season, the Wildcats have developed a knack for fast starts to games and halves. In 2009, the Wildcats outscored theopponents 105-58 in the first quarter of games and 77-56 in the third quarter. Combined with the 2008 season and the first games of 2010, thosnumbers are even more impressive. UA has outscored opponents 211-120 in the first quarter of its last 29 games, and 233-113 in the third quartof those games. What does it mean? Either the Wildcats thrive playing fully rested or perhaps game plans and coaching adjustments are spot-onand the players are executing those plans.

Maintaining DisciplineDiscipline has been one of the staples of Mike Stoops football teams at Arizona over the last several seasons. In fact, in its last 52 games, Arizonahas drawn more penalty flags than its opponents just 18 times (35 percent). Of UA's 29 wins in that times span, 21 have come in games when thCats have been flagged fewer times than their opponents.

Not to Be OffensiveOver the course of the last 39 games, Arizona has scored 13 non-offensive touchdowns (once every 3 games). In 2007 and 2008, the Wildcatsscored on two punt returns and two interception returns in each season. In 2009 , Travis Cobb scored on a kickoff return (95 yards), Bug Wrightreturned a punt to the house (86 yards), Orlando Vargas blocked a punt and returned it for a score (23 yards), and defensive backs Trevin Wade

yards) and Robert Golden (79 yards) had pick-six's. The Cats hope more are in store in all phases of the game in 2010.

30 Is (Usually) The Magic NumberThe Cats' loss to Oregon in double overtime and their 36-33 loss to Washington on Oct. 10 was a rare one. Since joining the Pac-10 in 1978, theWildcats have played 112 games in which they have scored 30 or more points. Their record in those games? An astounding 101-11-1. That recorncluded a streak of 18 consecutive victories prior to the Oregon game in 2008 (55-45 loss), and UA is now 22-3 under Mike Stoops. Arizona is 2-

such games this season.

If Not 30, Try 40f Arizona's winning percentage since 1978 when scoring 30 or more points isn't enough, then try out a 40+ point stat. In its entire history of

football, Arizona is 112-5 when scoring 40 or more points in a game. Arizona was 4-0 in such games all at home in an eight-win 2008 season.Previously, the last time UA reached the mark four times in one season was in 1954, when it did so six times. In 2009, the Wildcats reached 40points three times with a 2-1 record in those games. The loss? A 44-41 double overtime victory by Oregon. Amazingly, the Ducks also dropped thCats the year prior, 55-45, in Eugene, accounting for two of the five all-time losses. UA is 2-0 in 2010 when scoring 40 points.

Youth in ChargeArizona co-offensive coordinators Bill Bedenbaugh and Seth Littrell hit the chart of "youngest coordinators" compiled by East Carolina SID TomMcClellan. Littrell, 32, is the eight-youngest coordinator in the country and seventh-youngest OC, while Bedenbaugh, 38, is 32nd on the overall lTwenty-seven-year-old Lincoln Riley (offensive) of ECU is the youngest coordinator in the land.

Experience in ChargeArizona co-defensive coordinators Tim Kish and Greg Brown hit the chart of "most-experienced" coordinators compiled by ECU SID Tom McClellaKish and Brown have a combined 66 years of college and pro coaching experience, which together checks in as the fifth-most by a coordinator dn the nation. Most of schools on the list combine their OC and their DC, but Arizona and Iowa are the two schools in the top-5 of the chart that

sport co-defensive coordinators.

Next WeekArizona will commence its nine-game Pac-10 schedule with a home showdown against California on Saturday, Sept. 25. The game is scheduled fo7 p.m. kickoff and will be televised locally in Tucson on KWBA and distributed outside the Tucson market on FOX Sports Arizona Plus.

All Time Series Results

Arizona Against The Big Ten ConferenceArizona vs. Big Ten: The Wildcats have an all-time record of 13-23 against the Big Ten Conference and have lost seven straight, but two recgames in Tucson have been oh-so-close for the Wildcats. In 2005, the Wildcats hosted No. 12 Purdue, narrowly losing 31-24 in fron56,400 fans at Arizona Stadium. A year earlier, in Mike Stoops inaugural season at Arizona, the Wildcats dropped a heartbreaker to visiNo. 20 Wisconsin, 9-7, in a weather-delayed game that saw current Dallas Cowboys kicker Nick Folk barely miss a 47-yard field goal widewith less than a minute remaining. Thats 4.5 points per game that UA has fallen to Big Ten teams under Mike Stoops in Tucson. Last yetrip to Iowa City, which resulted in a 27-17 loss, was the first trip for his squads to a Big Ten school.

Arizona had what Coach Mike Stoops called a total team effort at Iowa, and stunk across theoard in dropping one to the Hawkeyes, 27-17. That was not to discredit Iowa, which hung ono the ball for 38 minutes and took advantage of Arizona's uncertainty from the onset,

marching 10 plays and 75 yards off the opening kickoff. The Cats had more than their share ofhances, held a second-quarter lead and were within a touchdown late in the third quarter.ut the fourth stanza (10:5), like the first (13:2), showed UI with a sizeable margin in time ofossession -- quite indicative of in-the-trenches dominance and the game wasn't truly inuestion. UA had a total of eight first downs, its lowest output in 36 games since that sameumber against USC in 2006. Inability to move the chains kept any semblance of continuityut of Arizona's attack, which otherwise checked in with an advantage (5.0 to 4.1) in averageards per play. The UA defense held Iowa to 338 total yards, but failed on its end of the chain-ang aspect, giving up 10 of 19 third-down conversions. Notable there was failing to hold onStoops-cited 3rd-and-23 play in the second quarter, when Hawkeye Adam Robinson

umbled for 43 yards to set up the go-ahead touchdown. In the had-its-chances department,Arizona squandered a potential momentum builder shortly before that in wasting a 1st-and-

oal at the Iowa 1 yard-line with a rush for a loss and two incomplete passes to settle for anAlex Zendejas 20-yard field goal. That one five-minute stretch signified the kind of day it wasor the Cats in front of the 70,585 Hawkeyes faithful. Sophomore Nick Foles came off theench in the fourth period to lead Arizona on a nine-play, 63-yard scoring drive capped by hisD pass to Juron Criner. While too late and a slightly no-matter score, it was important for itstewardship by Foles in place of starter Matt Scott. Arizona had some standout defensiveerformances led by sophomore cornerback Trevin Wade, whose 38-yard interception returnad tied the score at 7-7 early on. He had a career-best seven tackles and broke up threether passes. Defensive end Ricky Elmore had a career-high eight hits and 1.5 sacks.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -Nick Foles threw for 360 yards and accounted for three touchdowns tohelp Arizona pound Toledo 41-2 on Friday night.

Foles tossed two TD passes and ran for another score as the Wildcats recorded their first roadvictory outside the Pac-10 in nine seasons. Nic Grigsby added two touchdown runs.

Foles completed 32 of 37 passes with an interception that occurred when a ball went off thehands of running back Taimi Tutogi and bounced to Toledo defensive back Diauntae Morrow.

He showed a nice touch on his first touchdown throw, lofting a 9-yard pass over a defenderand into the hands of tight end David Douglas, who got one foot down in the back of endzone with 8:40 left in the first quarter.

Foles completed five passes for 58 yards on the opening drive, but the Wildcats didn't domuch after that until late in the first half.

Grigsby, who struggled with a shoulder injury last season, scored on a nifty 36-yard run,cutting across the middle and outracing two Rockets to corner of the end zone, capping anine-play, 91-yard drive and giving Arizona a 14-2 lead.

One play later, Derek Earls picked off Austin Dantin's pass over the middle to get the ball backfor the Wildcats. Foles scored on a 1-yard run with just 17 seconds left in the half, making it21-2.

Arizona's speedy bunch of receivers seemed to be open on nearly play. Juron Criner led theway, finishing with 11 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown.

Arizona's young defense, with seven new starters, including all three linebackers, did a nicejob limiting the Rockets to 80 yards rushing, including just 16 yards in the first half.

t was quite an improvement for a defense that coach Mike Stoops said looked terrible in ateam scrimmage two weeks ago.

Toledo had the top offense in the Mid-American Conference a year ago, but it did little rightagainst the Wildcats. Dantin was 14-of-23 passing for 103 yards.

Toledo's only score of the night came when Arizona lineman Conan Amituanai was called forholding in the end zone, giving the Rockets the safety.

Arizona hadn't ventured this far for opener since going to Penn State in 1999. It also was thefirst time a Pac-10 team has played at a Mid-American Conference stadium.

QUOTES

Arizona Head Coach Mike Stoops

"I'm really proud of our kids. We made a lot of mistakes, but we played hard and that's themost important thing to me. We shut (their offense) out and that was really important forour defense."

"Our kids really played well on defense. Linebacker Paul Vassallo did some good things

tonight. Tonight was a really good learning experience. There is going to be a lot of correc-tions, but our effort was important to me."

After a slow start, ARIZONA scored on consecutive possessions at the end of the first quarterand start of the second.

Foles' 44-yard pass to Juron Criner highlighted a six-play, 60-yard drive that put the Wildcatsup 7-0 on Grigsby's 3-yard scoring run. Criner caught Foles' long pass, bounced off a would-betackler, then broke downfield to the Bulldogs' 3.
