TC.com sports network predicts the UA-Oregon game
by Anthony Gimino on Nov. 21, 2009, under SportsWith seven of the eight precincts reporting, we have four picks for Oregon and three for the Wildcats. Looks like everyone is seeing a shootout … everyone except Andy Morales, that is.

The Cats can clearly win this game, but I think they need to get up early and use some long, time-consuming drives to do so. Once the Oregon offense gets rolling, it is tough to slow down, so keeping them off the field is vital. I really want to pick the Cats, and think that playing at home is key, but Oregon is the better team. Oregon 45, Arizona 41.

Big game? Only means one thing: Arizona won’t win it. Sure, it beat Oregon in another big game just recently, but not now. Truth be told, Oregon isn’t all THAT good. But this is what we consider a big game these days. Oregon 38, Arizona 17.

This will be a nail-biter like the Stanford game, and a high-scoring affair like last year in Eugene. The Cats are not in awe of the Ducks after last year’s near comeback and relatively easy victory two years ago in Tucson — when ESPN also happened to be in town. Arizona 42, Oregon 38.

The only way the Cats win is if Nick Foles is better than he was against Stanford and Nic Grigsby plays the whole game and the game is decided by more than three points. Arizona 52, Oregon 48.

Oregon has too many weapons on offense and sees the Rose Bowl in distance. Arizona keeps it close most of the game. Oregon 31, Arizona 23.

I think both teams will struggle to score with the hype, but Arizona will take a late lead and hold on by running the ball instead of attempting any more late game passes. Karma has to come Arizona’s way someday … Arizona 21, Oregon 14.

Plenty of stranger things have happened, and an upset is possible if Arizona plays fast and loose — the ingredients that have fueled previous November upsets under Mike Stoops. UA’s defensive speed is a decent matchup for Oregon’s read-option offense, but can the Cats tackle well enough? Not quite. Oregon 42, Arizona 35.
