Stat Of The Week - Arizona
The Stat of the Week this week come to us courtesy of the Bruin offense: 8 touchdowns in 4 games. Given that we have played 3 of the worst defenses in the country and one average one, this stat almost offends us. How many more games will KD and Co get to “grow” and “learn” and still have a chance to win? We think this Saturday might be the last such game this year. By the time we reach another gimme in Oregon State in mid-November we could very well be on a 4 game losing streak and excuses such as those won’t work anymore. 8 touchdowns in 4 games will not cut it against the likes of Oregon, Notre Dame, Cal, and maybe even a resurging Washington State. It might not cut it against an awful Arizona this weekend. Jim Svoboda, Jim Colletto, Karl Dorrell have got this one last game to get this offense in gear. 17 points, all in the second half, against the awful Cardinal - that has to embarrass them, no matter how much happy talk and happy thoughts they offer afterwards.
After Arizona, we start playing real teams, with great coaching staffs, who have plenty of game film on us. They are going to exploit the stat of the week. Lets get it done now coach. Go Bruins!!!
