Credit cards are one great invention that has revolutionized operations. Connecticut banks know this. If you use it correctly, a credit card can build your credit score and earn you offers. On the other hand, if you use it in the wrong way, a credit card can affect your credit history.
With that in mind, here are three mistakes to avoid with your credit card irrespective of whether you are using it for the first time or not.
1. Making "Just Enough" Minimum Monthly Payment
A credit card has a minimum monthly balance, and it is tempting to want to pay that exact amount. While doing so might save you some cash, you might end up paying more interest on a purchased commodity if your balance is low. Pay more than the minimum monthly payment to clear the balance quickly.
2. Getting More Than One Card
Every time you fill in a credit card application form, your credit report gets a hard inquiry. This causes a drop in the credit score, and having more than one such makes the matter worse. Does that mean that you cannot have more than one credit card?
No. You can have more than one credit card, but do not apply for your second credit card right after getting your first one. Allowing ample time between card applications will be good for your credit report.
3. Taking Large Cash Advances
Cash advances have higher interest rates than most purchases. These accrue interest from the first day. Cash advances also have a flat fee and a small percentage of the cash you are taking out as a cash advance. Avoid taking cash advances unless absolutely necessary.
Credit cards are part and parcel of personal banking. You can shop with ease and access money whenever you need it. However, using your credit card can either improve or worsen your credit score. Avoid the common credit card mistakes mentioned here for financial success.

On August 31, 1990 Griffey Jr. and Sr. become the first, the point that this this day, only father/son tandem to play on aren't team however. They figured help could be seen at safety later in the draft and they were right.
Maine's back-to-back gopher balls served to Adam Kennedy and Ryan Zimmerman on Monday night catapulted into a tie with Ervin Santana cheap nfl jerseys for most in mlb. After all, no one wants to compete with dull devices or apparel. You can also create your own Myspace layout here. Once or twice he dropped some passes and fumbled, etc., last season and during this preseason, but he'll improve.
Donate the clothes, recycle the paper, throw away the liquor bottles - and get rid of your ash teeth whitening trays! These players should have some training and personal equipment, combined with necessary apparel, in order to nicely during each game. Not only can the size of the strike zone affect who wins, it get an a huge Cheap Custom NFL Jerseys impact inside the over-under for games, favoring the under when wide and the over when narrow.

During 1944 due to player shortages the team actually along with the Pittsburgh steelers and maintained as the 'Card-Pitt'. NHL jerseys are extremely best way to proudly show your loyalty to these squads.

They do not damage or run your knives down like some cheaper sharpeners. The Yankees have been awaiting this announcement for the close of the 2010 season. Early in season some allow rather wide strike zones which favor pitchers with less control.
Heck, Tampa Bay went a silly wholesale mlb jerseys amount of games within a row, losing in under 40 degree weather until they broke it awhile back when they won abilities Bowl. Atlanta Falcons (2-6) (Previous rank: 29): I thought a hard earned win as well as something that belonging to their safeguards. Now that we've been redeemed found show it in exactly how we ensemble.

Eagles--go figure
All you need to know about the Eagles is that without Brian Westbrook they are toast. The mid-season slump that led to a tie with the lowly Bengals and a blowout loss to the Ravens came at a time when the versatile running back was nursing injured ribs. Now that he is healthy the Eagles actually have a chance to make a run at the playoffs. Sunday's win over the Giants in the Meadowlands serves as the #1 piece of evidence. The Eagles host the Browns, Washington and Dallas in their final 3 games...all 3 are VERY winnable contests. 10-5-1 might get them in!

Tips for families to get healthy this New Year
New Year's resolutions often focus on personal improvement. This year, experts are encouraging entire families to consider making a pledge to adopt a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Parents have more potential than anybody else to influence their children's behaviour - including their eating habits - according to a study by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in the United States. In fact, parents outrank sports celebrities as the people most children would most like to be, according to the survey.
"You are the most influential role model in your child's life," says Kim Larson, registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy spokesperson. "Modelling healthy eating behaviours encourages children to adopt and choose healthy behaviours that will benefit them for a lifetime."
Setting Realistic Goals
Small steps add up, and Larson recommends making healthy lifestyle changes that are realistic and easy to stick with for the long-haul. Try adopting healthy changes for the entire family such as:
1 Make sure your kids know they are part of the team and that health and fitness are a family affair.
2 Encourage children to help plan meals - from developing the menu to shopping to preparing and serving the meal.
3 Serve regular, balanced meals and snacks with a variety of nutrient-rich foods.
4 Eat breakfast daily.
5 Enjoy family dinner together each night or as often as possible.
6 At each meal, fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables.
7 Make at least half of the grains you eat whole grains.
8 Get active. Incorporate physical activity where you can in your day, whether taking a family walk after dinner or hitting the gym. Remember, children and teens should get at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day, and adults should get two-and-a-half hours per week.
Focus on overall health,
not weight alone
According to the experts, good nutrition, health and fitness should be the focus of your family's goals, not calorie counting, food restriction or working out.
"You don't want your kids to think that a healthy lifestyle is only about how much they weigh," Larson says. "Concentrate on delicious nutrition and fun physical activities."
For a personalised plan tailored to your lifestyle - food preferences and the unique needs of your family - consider consulting a registered dietitian nutritionist.
This New Year, you can get the whole family together by committing to a healthier lifestyle as a team.

Imagery: A Key to Understanding Math
How can teachers help students find the beauty in math? There may be roadblocks already set up in math education -- students' disposition toward math anxiety, and pressure to cover material quickly. Or maybe it has something to do with the curse of knowledge -- the gap between what experts know and non-experts don't.
It's easy for math professors to see the beauty in math, said New York University neuroscientist Pascal Wallisch, because they already have an obvious connection with it. "They perhaps had the luck to enjoy a positive math experience in school," he said. "Or, frankly, from a cognitive neuroscience perspective, there is little doubt in my mind that they have quite a bit of a different brain than the average person who is trying to unlock the wonders of math, or just learn some math in order to get by."
Wallisch said that as both a brain scientist and someone for whom math did not come easily, the key to mathematical beauty (and understanding) is visuals. "As primates, we are mostly visual creatures. A good amount of the cortex in primates (upwards of 30%) is dedicated to visual processing in one way or the other. Put differently, things that look interesting or appealing are bound to attract curiosity," he said. Looking at a picture (or a movie or video) is the same thing as looking at an equation. But while it represents the same information, one method is inherently more appealing to our brains than the other.
According to Wallisch, mathematical imagery is what students are missing, and what causes confusion. He used the example of reading the words "Statue of Liberty," and how it evokes an immediate image in the mind. But if a person couldn't read, or had never heard of the Statue of Liberty, they would visualize only letters and words, not Lady Liberty holding her torch -- and the same goes for math novices. Since they have no experience, the mix of mathematical symbols on the page don't mean much. "Mathematicians see equations by imagery built by long-term practice manipulating them," he said. "The trick is to use software to visualize the equations so that those who don't have the practice (or the unusual brain) can see the same."

Wallisch began creating moving mathematical images for himself using technical computing environment Matlab, and said that, although he uses it for high-level research computations, high school students can just as easily build visual mathematical models with some guidance. By creating images of equations and playing with the variables, Wallisch now sees what all the fuss is about. He wrote in a blog post: "Personally, I'm betting on aesthetics, with Kant: 'Beautiful is that which is appealing without interest.' As we can't presume interest, aesthetics can serve as an important bridge(head)."
California College of the Arts math professor Michael S. Schneider agreed that imagery is the best way to show students the beauty of math. He has been helping students connect mathematics to visual imagery for nearly forty years, and wrote the book A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe: Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art and Science to show humans are surrounded with mathematical imagery -- including right outside, in nature.
[RELATED: How to Deal With Kids' Math Anxiety]
"As a youngster I wasn't particularly outstanding in math," he said. "But at 16 I became earnestly interested in the variety of shapes nature produced and wanted to understand why regular shapes keep recurring in nature. I remember pondering the same hexagonal shape found in the beehive, quartz crystal and metal hexnuts. I could understand how a crystal grew mechanically in this precise geometry by accumulating atoms, but how did bees know how to produce the pattern which holds more weight of honey than, say, a checkerboard pattern? I wasn't comfortable with the 'trial and error' explanation, and even if it was in their DNA, how did that knowledge of superior design get there?" Then, he said, he wanted to know more about logarithmic spirals - "in the bathtub, swirling leaves, tornadoes, hurricanes, solar systems, galaxies." Schneider said he had good math teachers, but these topics were never covered in school; books he looked up on the subjects covered them one at a time, but never altogether in the same place.
Schneider said he became obsessed with understanding the language and shapes of "nature's geometric alphabet": circles, spheres, triangles, squares, and more -- the shapes that surround us every day if we simply take the time to notice them. "A circle represents the number one," he said. "Most people can feel why a circle represents unity, its wholeness, completeness. A circle holds more inside it than any other shape having the same perimeter. So it's practical to know that round pizzas hold more toppings than squares or rectangles having the same length of crust."
Armed with this set of nature's images and symbols, Schneider found that numbers and shapes have personalities, each playing different roles in the cosmos. "The universe becomes a book and then a great play with great actors in great parts telling great stories," he said. "Mathematics is a way to read the world of nature and technology around us. If a teacher can convey this, the entire world becomes an exciting textbook."

Schneider admits that today's math teachers are strapped for time and resources to really explore the beautiful part of math, partly due to the way textbooks are constructed, and the pressure to cover material quickly. He believes that for students to see the beauty in math, teachers need more time and freedom. "I think that math education gets too abstract too quickly without first providing a sense-based foundation," he said.
But appreciating the beauty in mathematics could start by just having students look around them. "The universe may be a mystery, but it's not a secret," he said.

William Rutter is no dummy. A world-renowned scientist in the field of biotechnology, he earned a degree from Harvard and PhD from the University of Illinois before performing postdoctoral work at the Nobel Institute in Sweden. He has published over 400 scientific papers, holds over 25 patents, and has earned millions upon millions of dollars developing HIV and Hepatitis vaccines.
Late last week, however, all of Rutter's accomplishments and accolades served only to validate a suspicion Albert Einstein voiced decades ago: the hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax. After all, if a genius like Rutter can wind up on the losing end of a Tax Court decision, what hope do the rest of us have?

A summary of notable kicking during the ninth week of the 2011 college football season:
Sophomore kicker Zeb Miller kicked a 54 yard field goal with 1:52 left to lift North Dakota to a 27-25 victory over Northern Colorado.
"Two or three different coaches came over to me and were like, 'Hey, we're going to put you in position, you've got to forget about those two [missed] kicks and hit it between the pipes because we're going to need a game-winner.' They had complete confidence in me and put me out there, and I did what they expected me to do.
I got a great snap and a great hold from my snapper and holder. The line blocked great, and I've got to have all those parts before it even gets to me. And then after I hit it, I heard a sound, so I imagine it maybe got tipped a little bit, so I was a little worried after that, but it somehow found its way in the pipes, and I was very, very excited."
Junior kicker Jack Griffin hit a 20 yard field goal with 3:31 remaining in regulation to tie the game and the made a 22 yarder in overtime to give Florida International a 23-20 win over Troy.
Sophomore kicker Patton Chambers' field goal with 14:54 left in the game gave Miles a 9-7 win over Stillman.
Junior kicker Carlos Lopez hits a 25 yard field goal as time expired to give Carson-Newman College a 27-24 win over Brevard.
"I knew that it was so close, I was getting mentally ready. During halftime I talked to Coach [Sparks] and I said I think this game is going to come down to a field goal and I'm ready."
Sophomore kicker James Langford made a 39 yard field goal with 36 seconds remaining to give Cal Poly a 27-24 win over South Dakota.
Freshman kicker Sean Ianno's 32 yard field goal in overtime gave University of Texas at San Antonio a 17-14 victory against Georgia State.
Freshman kicker Jesse Roy hit a 24 yard field goal in overtime to give Western Kentucky a 31-28 win over Louisiana-Monroe.
"It feels great to contribute to everything. I really just tried to keep my head straight. Once it left my foot it felt great, but I got to give credit to my line for giving me the time."
Senior kicker Kenton Chun hit a 35 yard field goal with 32 seconds left to give Hawaii a 16-14 win Idaho.
Junior kicker Johnny Garcia made a 47 yard field goal with 1:47 left in the game to give Hastings a 19-17 win over Doane.
Sophomore kicker Zach Hocker hit a 42 yard field goal with 6:53 remaining to give Arkansas a 31-28 win over Vanderbilt.
"I really thank Coach for having the confidence in me. I hope to get the shot at these 50-yarders an fortunately enough we did today and fortunately it went through for us. It was an awesome win."
Sophomore kicker Jarod Brown's 25 yard field goal with 12:14 remaining proved to be the game winner in Old Dominion's 23-20 victory over James Madison.
Freshman kicker Robert Sinegra hit a 23 yard field goal with 4:09 remaining to lift William Paterson to a 17-15 win over Morrisville State.
Senior kicker Andrew Rogowski made a 34 yard field goal as time expired to give Ithaca a 13-10 win over Frostburg State.
Freshman kicker Morgan Porter hit a 24 yard field goal as time expired to lift Saint Vincent to a 17-14 win over Waynesburg.
Junior kicker Max Martin made a 22 yard field goal in overtime, giving Wayne State a 44-41 triumph over Upper Iowa.
Sophomore kicker Alexander Norocea provided all the scoring (field goals of 39 & 42 yards) in Brown's 6-0 win over Penn.
Senior placekicker Daniel Vasil provided all the scoring (field goals of 33 & 29 yards) in Case Western Reserve's 6-0 win over Chicago.

It's no secret that the construction industry is heavily male centric. In fact, there are only around 275,000 women in the entire industry and furthermore, 50,000 of those women work in an office environment.
As there are 2.5 million workers in the British construction industry, this means that women make up for only 12.2 per cent of that figure. Although it has risen from 10.7 per cent in 2010, the UK is still far behind Sweden's 25 per cent and Germany's 15 per cent.
But are women interested in joining the industry?
Although there not might be a great rush of female applicants for jobs in construction, according to a 2005 study by the Equal Opportunities Commission, 80 per cent of school girls stated that they would like to train in a non-traditional job. A further 12 per cent of that figure said that they would be interested in learning within the construction industry.
But why are so few women interested in a career within an industry that has proven so lucrative for men?
Katie Metclaf, a senior associate at Gardiner & Theobald, a construction company based in Leeds, said in The Guardian that:
"I don't know why so few women are attracted to a career in construction but I think it's partly due to a lack of awareness about the interesting and varied career opportunities, and partly due to the perception of the industry being male dominated and muddy. That couldn't be further from the truth."
Aside from that, there is also another crises facing the construction industry and it is that of an ageing workforce alongside an already present skills shortage, something highlighted in a report by the Chartered Institute of Building last year.
The University of Reading has also looked into the issue in a separate report, stating that:
"Career sexism is an important issue for government, industry, employers and individuals. Occupational segregation is damaging the UK's competitiveness by contributing to the gender pay gap and preventing it from benefiting from the talents of a balanced workforce. The under-utilisation of human resources dependent on gender patterns is of economic and social concern especially for an economy with an ageing workforce."
For an industry that needs to hire more than 200,000 workers by 2020, is construction appealing enough to young women?
Indeed, the industry is taking note, despite there still being a 22.8 per cent pay gap between the sexes. Nicky Morgan, speaking at the 'Chicks with Bricks' reception at the House of Commons said in January that:
"the gap is too high and I'm determined to see it come down further and faster – because it's not just women who are missing out."
According to The Guardian, employers are also taking note, with companies such as Bovis Lend Lease searching to recruit more women within the workplace via mentoring schemes and other programmes.
Speaking to the Jewson Tool Shed, Cara Palmer of Wates Construction Group, upon being asked what the greatest challenges within the industry were, she said that over the past couple of years, the weak economy was the biggest challenge, where:
"young people struggled to get employment and further training was halted for those within employment." She continued, saying that "[the] sector is definitely picking up, both in terms of winning more work as well as the requirement to employ more people to resource the work."
Things are picking up for women
The Construction Youth Trust (CYT) has already said that it is "time to think differently" and organisations such as Women and Manual Trades (WAMT) and Women in Building Services Engineering (WiBSE) are pushing for change.
Educationally, institutions such as The Leeds College of Building is also making a stand, training more than 900 women a year, even going on to employ female tutors for all subjects in order to attract more young women into the industry.
In essence, the construction industry hasn't always been the best place to work for women, but there is change afoot, and it is happening sooner rather than later.
For more information, the Women in Construction, Arts and Technology LTD has a great resource for women searching for courses within construction, arts & crafts and technology.
Author: Jane Wilson is the content executive at the Jewson Tool Shed,who works to help inspire young people into picking up a trade within the construction industry.

PCCV offers limited medical services, including ultrasound, to help women uncertain about their pregnancy gather the facts they need in a safe and confidential environment. Once we've confirmed a positive pregnancy test at your initial visit, your eligibility for an ultrasound will be discussed.
In 2012, the Virginia State Legislature passed the Informed Consent Ultrasound Law. This law requires an ultrasound to be performed 24 hours prior to an abortion and provides women the right to view the ultrasound evaluation so they can be fully informed before proceeding with an abortion.
Ultrasound has always been a part of the abortion process to determine viability and gestational age however, this law recognizes that it is important for the woman to have full disclosure of these facts as well.
PCCV's medical staff ensures you understand the ultrasound process and is there to answer any questions you may have.
PCCV offers a medical consultation and ultrasound free of charge in a safe and confidential environment. No medical insurance is necessary.
Your first step will be to come in for a preliminary appointment. After confirming a positive pregnancy test, your counselor will be able to determine your eligibility for an ultrasound.
As a patient, you have the legal right to see and hear what is on the ultrasound screen. This is important information that can help you make an informed decision. PCCV's medical staff ensures you understand the ultrasound process and is there to answer any questions you may have.
The Pregnancy Centers of Central Virginia do not provide diagnostic ultrasounds or ultrasound as part of standard pre-natal care.

Raisina Hill at Dusk
Dusk is the best time of the day to visit the Raisina Hill. The moment when the sunlight simmers and the lamposts are switched on is nothing but magical. The red blooms just add to the drama around some of the highest government offices of India.

1-Awesome contrast in 'Raisina Hill at Dusk'.
2-The night pic with quarter moon reminds me of a horror film, 'The Legend of Blair Witch Project'.

Hi Friends!
Today's tip came out of another friend of mine asking me about something they didn't know how to do. Actually, she knew how to do it in Word 2003. So did I. But I didn't know how to do it right there on the spot, so I did some homework. Now YOU will benefit from the question being asked.
The question: "How do I add numbers in Word?" – not the exact words. It's pretty easy.
1. Just create a table, enter the values, then click on the destination cell for your formula.
2. Click on the "Layout" tab that shows up above the Ribbon when your cursor is within the table.
3. Click on "Formulas" at the far right end of the Ribbon.
4. "Sum" is the default formula (you CAN select another formula in the drop-down called "Paste function"). Since we're talking about adding figures, just click "Ok." And there you have your total!
It's that simple. Now for a little note to the contrary: This scenario is the simplistic, perfect-world scenario. You have the ability to create your own formula using cell locators (B1:B3 means cells in column B, rows 1 – 3), or functions +, -, *, and /. You can also do compound formulas like (sum(above))*2) meaning add all the values above and multiply by 2. But now you're probably getting glassy-eyed and getting distracted. Am I right?
Thanks for stopping by!

Bumble-Ardy by Maurice Sendak
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Ok, vale and all that…
I can't really escape the voice of Carole King singing "Chicken Soup with Rice" when I think of Sendak so he gets a big free pass. To say nothing of beautiful nude Mickey.
I have quite a lot of lesser Sendak. To wit:
"No Fighting, No Biting"
"The Nutcracker"
"A Hole is to Dig".
I have to say that as an author he's an excellent illustrator.
This was barely cogent. And SWEET JESUS these illustrations are not for children. The animals that come to party with the eponymous pig are completely freaking terrifying.
Think James Ensor.
Think the black death scenes from Herzog's Nosferatu.
Think the worst cheese dream you've ever had. Roquefort level.
The pictures are compelling in the same way those German Carnival heads suck out your eyeballs with their evocation of the Gnostic hovering presence of Death. I mean, archetype au go go.

Heber Springs Man Pleads Guilty To Federal Drug Conspiracy Charge
Little Rock – Christopher R. Thyer, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas and Raymond R. Parmer, Jr., Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New Orleans, announced that Christopher Arnold Hogan, 47, of Heber Springs pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge related to possession with intent to distribute of 246 grams of Methylone, commonly referred to as "bath salts."
"Bath salts, the common name for the drugs Christopher Hogan was distributing in the Heber Springs area, are extremely dangerous drugs," stated Thyer. "They mimic the effects of commonly recognized drugs, such as methamphetamine and MDMA, also known as Ecstacy, but they are more potent and have a greater effect on the user. Through the coordinated efforts of the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office, Homeland Security Investigations and the United States Postal Inspection Service and the prosecutors in our office, this case has dismantled a drug distribution ring that was threatening the lives of teenagers and young adults in and around Heber Springs."
"The illegal importation and distribution of bath salts is not only dangerous due to the drug itself, but also because users face potentially deadly contamination from toxic substances added by unregulated backroom manufacturers," said Raymond R. Parmer Jr., special agent in charge of HSI New Orleans. "Bath salts users frequently require emergency medical treatment, and HSI along with its law enforcement partners will continue to aggressively investigate and seek prosecution of anyone seeking to illegally import and distribute these dangerous illegal drugs."
On July 11, 2012, a grand jury indicted Hogan and five other defendants in an eight count Indictment charging conspiracy as well as possession with intent to distribute and distribution of Methylone, Pentedrone, MDMA, and MDPV. These synthetic narcotics are Schedule I controlled substances or analogs of Schedule I controlled substance, which are illegal to possess and which have no legitimate consumer use.
At the plea hearing before Judge Susan Webber Wright, Assistant United States Attorney Anne Gardner stated that in June, 2011, the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office was investigating the distribution of synthetic narcotics, generally called "bath salts" in the Heber Springs area. The Sheriff's Department determined the source for the bath salts was Hogan. In July, 2011, a search warrant was obtained for Hogan's residence, and evidence of synthetic drug manufacturing, specifically a synthetic cannabinoid, JWH-018, was seized. Hogan was charged in state court and made bond.
In January, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security Investigations intercepted a package in the mail coming from China addressed to Hogan. The package contained Pentedrone, a controlled substance analog of methcathinone. As the investigation continued, it was discovered that another package from China addressed to Hogan had been seized in San Diego, California in June, 2011, during a routine border interdiction of suspicious packages. This package was found to contain 246 grams of Methylone. HSI continued their joint investigation with the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office and the United States Postal Inspection Service throughout the Spring of 2012, with confidential informants making controlled purchases of Pentedrone from Hogan and others who were obtaining the substance from Hogan.
A number of Hogan's distributors were charged and pleaded guilty in this case. AUSA Gardner stated that if the charges against Hogan were to be tried in court, the co-defendants would testify that Hogan was receiving distributable quantities of controlled substance analogs that he ordered over the Internet from China. They would further testify that Hogan discussed with them that as long as the substance had a label stating it was not for human consumption, that they could not be prosecuted for distributing the substance. The witnesses would testify that they knew, and the defendant knew, that in fact the substances were intended to be ingested by the people who purchased them to get high.
Hogan faces maximum penalties of not more than 20 years imprisonment, a fine of not more than $1,000,000, and at least 3 years of supervised release following release from prison.
This case was investigated by the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office, Homeland Security Investigations and the United States Postal Inspection Service. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Anne Gardner.

A Pair of 3-2 Clubs in Northwest Tilt
The Game - Arizona (3-2, 0-1 Pac-10) plays its first Pac-10 road game of the year Saturday, Oct. 12, in a 12:40 p.m. contest against the No. 22 Washington Huskies (3-2, 0-1) in 72,500-seat Husky Stadium on the UW's Seattle campus. The game will be produced by Fox Sports Net Northwest for tape-delay showing at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, on Fox Sports Net Arizona, with David Locke and Sonny Sixkiller mikeside. Washington is No. 18 in the coaches' poll.
Some Game Themes - Arizona challenges a team which just saw its 17-game home winning streak end... Recently, games in the series have been donnybrooks, with the last four decided by a combined 17 points... Can UA quarterback Jason Johnson of Puyallup put on a good show near his hometown? ... Can Arizona break Washington coach Rick Neuheisel's apparent grip (3-0) on the Cats? ... Can UW's Cody Pickett approximate the 455 yards he threw for against Arizona a year ago? ... On paper, Washington shouldn't need to invoke the fourth-quarter magic that netted it four Pac-10 wins in the closing seconds a year ago... UA meets Washington in Seattle for the third consecutive season, owing to the league's scheduling policies...The Cats' second consecutive game against a ranked opponent... Neither team wants a 0-2 hole in league play...
The Series - Washington leads, 13-4-1 and has a three-game winning streak... UA is 2-8 in games played in Seattle...UA's last victory in Husky Stadium came in 1998, 31-28, the exact score of last year's loss to UW. The Cats were in position to win last year, but gave up 10 points in the last five minutes... Washington has won eight of the last 10 games in the series...
The Coaches - Arizona: John Mackovic (Wake Forest '65), second year at Arizona (8-8) and 15th season as a collegiate head coach (93-72-3). Mackovic has a 0-1 mark against UW. Washington: Rick Neuheisel (UCLA '84), fourth year in Seattle (29-12) and eighth overall as a head coach (62-26). Neuheisel is 3-0 against Arizona. Mackovic and Neuheisel met twice when they coached at Texas and Colorado, respectively, with the latter winning both games, 28-24 in 1996 and 47-30 in 1997.
Arizona Last Week - Wildcat receiver Bobby Wade might have matched Oregon's Onterrio Smith as the biggest threat on the field, but the Ducks added a 70-percent passing attack to the star tailback's 145 yards (and two touchdowns) and stymied Arizona's running attack to post a 31-14 victory in the teams' Pac-10 opener. UA stopped the Ducks on their initial possession (UO's first unsuccessful opening gambit of the year) and took a 7-0 lead with a quick four-play drive capped by Jason Johnson's scoring toss to halfback Mike Bell. Oregon answered with an 80-yard drive for a score (Smith run of 3 yards), but Johnson found Wade for a 16-yard TD a few minutes later. UO quarterback Jason Fife completed passes of 26 and 19 yards sandwiched around a Smith six-yard run and Smith capped the four-play, 61-yard drive with a 10-yard TD run to tie the score. Oregon added a field goal with a quick drive to end the half, leading 17-14. In the third quarter, the Ducks finished the scoring with two good drives for scores, the first following an interception off Johnson for the only turnover points in the contest. Wade had a career-high 12 receptions and totaled 151 yards, but UA suffered three possessions of three-and-out in the second half despite reasonable field position throughout. Smith hurt the Cats with 145 rushing yards, while Fife completed 18-of-26 passes for 244 yards. Johnson had 302 yards passing on 23-for-41 (56%), but Arizona managed only 30 net yards rushing. Arizona played without a number of injured starters including its twin 2001 All-Pac-10 selections in linebacker Lance Briggs and halfback Clarence Farmer. The Cats also were without its two starting cornerbacks, Michael Jolivette and Darrell Brooks. Arizona punted eight times, its most to date, and couldn't take advantage of the Ducks' 110 yards on 13 penalties. UA lost its 12th league game in 14 tries.

He now has seven 300-yard games and a career completion percentage of 60 percent. This year he's attempted about 45 passes per game and had a whopping 59 attempts last week, completing 35... UW has 11 sacks through five games, led by DE Manase Hopoi with four. The Dawgs had a total of 20 sacks in 2001... (Arizona has 10 sacks this year)... Washington has several assistants with UA ties - former UA running backs coach Bobby Kennedy (WR) was on Mackovic's first Arizona staff a year ago and former offensive coordinator Steve Axman (QB) was on Larry Smith's UA staffs in the early 1980s. Brent Myers (OL) was hired by UA's Dick Tomey in spring 2000, but left to take a UW job during spring practice...

Missed Starts Due to Injury: 25 (Briggs-1, Brooks-1, Farmer-1, Jolivette-3, Willrodt-2, Freitas-1, Hardt-1, Fraser-1, Safranek-5, Torrey-5, Parada-3.)
Game Captains- The team will elect permanent team captains near the close of the season. Each week prior to that honor, game captains are selected by head coach John Mackovic. The game captains for Northern Arizona -- QB Jason Johnson, LB Lance Briggs, FS Jarvie Worcester and TE James Hugo. Utah - LB Ray Wells, OT Makoa Freitas, WR Bobby Wade. Wisconsin - Hugo, Wells, Freitas, DT Young Thompson. North Texas - Thompson, J. Johnson, Wade, Worcester. Oregon: Freitas, Wade, Wells, CB David Hinton
Pac-10 Nominees - Wide receiver Bobby Wade (offense), linebacker Spencer Larsen (defense) and Wade (special teams) were UA's nominations for Pac-10 players of the week. Wade had a career-high 12 catches for 151 yards and a score, and added 77 yards on kick returns for 228 all-purpose yards. Larsen notched his first career sack and totaled eight hits in the first start of this career.
Miscellany of Late......Bobby Wade's career-high 12 receptions against Oregon moved him into No. 10 on the all-time Pac-10 receptions chart with 177. He trails list newcomer Kareem Kelly of USC and former Cal wideout Bobby Shaw , tied with 180 at No. 8... Wade's 12 catches are the second-highest total in an Arizona game, behind the 14 by Jeremy McDaniel in a triple-overtime contest at Cal in 1996. Jim Greth (1966 vs. Iowa State) and Dave Hibbert (1958 at Texas Tech) also had 12 catches in a single game...With 40 grabs, Wade needs 14 more to post a second single-season on the UA's top 10 chart (62 for the No. 4 spot last year)......Arizona scored touchdowns on its first two red-zone penetrations against Oregon, reversing an earlier trend. The Cats missed out on a third opportunity later in the game, handing the ball back on downs......True freshman Jason Martin came out of a potential redshirt season to play cornerback against the Ducks. He broke up a pass on a play canceled by penalty elsewhere on the field......True freshman linebacker Spencer Larsen earned his first start last week in the absence of injured Lance Briggs (who did not play). Larsen started at whip linebacker and notched eight tackles including two for losses and his first career sack... Pat Howard started at Briggs' spot and recorded seven hits in his first career starting nod... On the other side of the ball, redshirt freshmen running backs Mike Bell at the halfback spot and Sean Jones at the fullback spot earned their first formation starts though Jones was the top fullback a week ago when Joey Willrodt was out with an injury... Bell scored his first receiving touchdown in the first series......Sophomore Bobby Gill earned his first start as the place kicker against Oregon and knocked home two PATs but did not attempt a field goal...... UA's two losses have a common statistic - first downs. The Cats had 16 against Oregon and 13 at Wisconsin, their two lowest totals of the year and the only time in the last nine games they've totaled less than 20...
Arizona Head Coach John Mackovic
John Mackovic looks to turn the corner and push his 6-2 record at Arizona in August/September beyond the wall the Cats hit in league play a year ago. It will be tough, with three of the next four league games on the road.
UA's 26th head coach is in his 18th year as a collegiate head coach, athletics director or professional head coach, plus adds another dozen years in the game as a coordinator or assistant to give the Wildcats a mentor with more than three decades of established leadership and organization.
Mackovic's first year in Tucson opened with the team snapping a program five-game losing streak, and opened the year 3-0 to complete only the third perfect non-conference campaign in the past 11 seasons. Pacific-10 Conference play ushered in some difficult going as the club extended its league losing streak to 10 games before a breakthrough. This year he's emphasized the mental readiness the team must have at the same juncture.
Mackovic, a proven strategist, had his 2001 team unveil a sophisticated attack that produced a 2,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and a near 1,000-yard receiver. Mackovic served notice that under his tutelage Arizona can be a productive offensive team that can score points. He's the first UA coach to win his first two season openers since Jim Young in 1973 and 1974, when Mackovic was the offensive coordinator in Tucson. He is among the Top 25 among active Division I-A coaches in career victories and just seven shy of the 100-victory level.
Mackovic's second-year legacy at several previous coaching stops gives Arizona partisans optimism. At Wake Forest his second club improved by seven games. His second Kansas City Chiefs team went from 6-10 to 8-8. His Fighting Illini improved from 6-5-1 to 10-2 in his second season.
As the District 9 representative on the Board of Trustees of the American Football Coaches Association, Mackovic, 59, has a voice heard nationally. His focus on the total student-athlete has been underscored by nine national academic/citizenship honor winners during his collegiate career including two members, Jason Johnson a week ago and Eli Wnek last year, selected to the American Football Coaches Association 'Good Works Team.' Arizona recorded a program-high four first-team Academic All-Pac-10 selections in 2001. Graduate quarterback Johnson is among top contenders for a Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award.
The Cats' 37-3 victory against Northern Arizona Aug. 31 was one point shy of the Wildcats' highest point total a year ago, a 38-21 win over Nevada-Las Vegas. The team's 510 yards in total offense was the No. 2 figure in his tenure, behind the 578 yards UA posted against Stanford a year ago. The Cats' 416 passing yards against a quality Utah secondary is the third-highest total in Arizona history and just passed Mackovic's Arizona best, 415 yards against Stanford a year ago.
Mackovic at a Glance: 15th year as a collegiate head coach� Overall collegiate record: 93-72 -3 (.563)� Career bowl teams: Eight� Arizona record: 8-8� Pac-10 Record: 2-7� Arizona Road Record: 3-3� Arizona Home Record: 5-5� Walter Camp Foundation National Coach of the Year, 1979� Conference Coach of the Year: ACC ('79), Big Ten ('88, '89), SWC ('95)
Last Time Against Washington - Oct. 20, 2001, Seattle, Wash. - Arizona almost did what it needed most -- win -- but in the effort at least proved it had a collective spirit in a 31-28 loss at No. 12 Washington. The sting of a fourth consecutive defeat was somewhat ameliorated by the squad putting some wild back into the Cats. UA, trailing since the first quarter, took a 28-21 lead with five minutes left after cornerback Jermaine Chatman's second interception gave it stellar field position. But the Huskies popped a 74-yard kickoff return to help answer with a field goal within 70 seconds, then held UA on a three-and-out. A short punt gave UW possession near midfield and it drove 55 yards for the winning TD with 13 ticks left on the clock. As it had in three previous games, UA's defense gave up at least 14 first-quarter points, but this time the Cats responded, with quarterback Jason Johnson leading UA on answering drives culminating in scoring throws of 4 and 12 yards to Bobby Wade and Andrae Thurman. A hard hit knocked Johnson out of the game with a concussion at the end of the opening period and UA's offensive fortunes were left in the hands of redshirt freshman John Rattay. A succession of big plays (78- and 75-yard scoring throws from Cody Pickett) helped UW build its edge. Rattay responded with overall modest figures but tied the score with his 15-yard run on the first play after Johnny Jackson picked up a fumbled punt and returned it 10 yards in the third period. Shortly afterward, Jackson left the game with a neck injury and was transported to a local hospital for precautionary purposes. Without yet another injured defensive end, the Cats mustered the verve to hold UW on its next five possessions and take the lead. It disappeared, but not Arizona's feeling that it should have won. The UA did give up 455 passing yards, the fourth-most in school history, though it held UW's running game largely in check. UA tailback Clarence Farmer notched his third 100-yard game of the year (21-147) with a 7.0 average. UA intercepted four Pickett passes and recovered a fumble to finish with a 5-2 edge in turnovers. Rattay suffered a slight concussion on the last play of the game.
Air-a-Zona Needs a Surface Subsidiary - The aerial attack featured so prominently in UA's first five games could use some help from the rushing game. UA is averaging 90 yards per game on the ground. True, All-Pac-10 halfback Clarence Farmer is sidelined, and that hurts. But the Cats have had difficulty developing unpredictability by way of the run. Against Oregon, UA had to rely on 332 net yards - 302 through the air. In 68 plays, 41 were passes. Redshirt freshman Mike Bell carried the ball 21 times for 54 yards, but that was it. Jason Johnson was sacked five times for minus-27 yards, and scrambled once for plus three. Both Arizona scores were Johnson throws, snapping a two-game drought in that department, wherein Jason Johnson and Nic Costa combined for 138 passing yards at Wisconsin and Johnson threw for 189 vs. North Texas. Arizona had averaged 80.5 plays in its first two games, with 85 runs and 76 passes for an average of 484 yards. Since, the Cats have run 62, 62 and 69 plays. Passing has netted UA 1,452 yards compared to 451 rushing this season. The play calling is split almost exactly - 177 rushes, 176 passes. Arizona never has averaged more than 255 yards passing per game in a season and is ahead of that mark at 290.4, to rate 14th nationally. UA is averaging a decent 8.2 yards per attempt and 14.5 yards per completion and will not stop throwing - but does need to run the ball effectively to avoid pointed defenses by the opponents.
Rushing, Part II - Wisconsin (260), North Texas (282) and Oregon combined for 730 yards rushing, eliminating Arizona's early No. 13 rushing defense ranking. That figure charts in at No. 89 for the Washington game. Arizona has allowed successive 100-yard rushers in Wisconsin's Anthony Davis (16-110, 2 TD), North Texas' Kevin Galbreath (22-104) and Oregon's Onterrio Smith (28-145, 2 TD). The team had seven runners eclipse the century barrier a year ago. Meantime, against Wisconsin, the running of Clarence Farmer helped UA record its best rushing day of the year and eclipse the passing attack for the only time this year (154 yards).
Jason's Quest - Senior quarterback Jason Johnson rates No. 19 nationally in total offense, directing a passing attack which rates the Cats No. 14 in the country. He's completed an average of 19.2 throws per game to rank No. 21. He posted his sixth career 300-yard game against the Ducks last week, completing 23 of 41 for 302 yards and two scores. His 23 completions are the second-highest total in his career (previously he completed 24 against Utah this year and 23 last year against Southern California). He threw for successive career yardage totals -- 381 yards in the opener and 416 vs. Utah, both among the top 5 in UA single-game individual performances. He's suffered three interceptions in 166 throws this year (.018 percent or one every 55 attempts). It took four years -- one as a redshirt, two as a holder and one solid year last season - to demonstrate that he's capable of leading a sophisticated passing attack. Aside from any numbers, his work ethic is a strong point. Last year he completed 169 passes for 57 percent, 2,347 yards and 19 touchdowns, all in Arizona's top 10 for single-season marks, but did suffer 13 interceptions. Now he has six 300-yard career passing games and appears capable of that each time out. Johnson found nine different receivers in his 2002 debut, then turned to some key guys in hitting Bobby Wade and Andrae Thurman nine times each against Utah. Against Wisconsin, Wade again was a big target with seven catches for 85 yards, but UA couldn't really get its passing game going. Against North Texas he didn't get the Cats in the end zone through the air, but found 10 different receivers, a personal high. Last week he helped Wade achieve a career high with 12 receptions. A graduate student in Judaic studies, Johnson's the reigning first-team Academic All-Pac-10 quarterback, a member of the 2002 AFCA 'Good Works Team' which cites scholastic and civic responsibility, and UA's nominee for the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete post-graduate studies program. Behind Johnson, redshirt freshman Nic Costa saw action in the opener and at Wisconsin and had average success, but is blessed with a strong arm.
Catching the Ball - Arizona wide receiver Bobby Wade has proven indispensable to UA's offensive efforts, and this year leads the Pacific-10 Conference in receptions per game (8.0), receiving yardage per game (116.2) and all-purpose yardage (155.6), plus is second in total receiving yards (581). His work last week was a bright spot, as has been the case each week. He's been named to the Shrine East-West Game roster (joining teammate Lance Briggs)... In his last eight games Wade has gathered in 64 receptions for 987 yards and eight touchdowns, recording six of his career nine 100-yard receiving games in the span. Wade had nine catches for a career-high 175 yards against Utah, but saw his streak of five 100-yard games end at Wisconsin, catching seven balls for 85 yards. He led the way with four catches for a modest 37 yards against North Texas. The efforts have pushed him past Theopolis 'T' Bell into No. 2 on the school career chart with 177 catches. He's third in the UA record book with 19 scoring receptions, and No. 2 with 2,543 receiving yards, passing former Cats Jon Horton (2,415) and Theo Bell (2,509) last week. His 62 receptions a year ago were the No. 4 single-season figure. He has a streak of 36 consecutive games with a reception - No. 11 nationally and six shy of UA's record of 42 by Dennis Northcutt (1996-99). He and his mates in the receiving corps -- junior Andrae Thurman, sophomores Lance Relford and Ricky Williams, freshman Biren Ealy and junior college transfer Juan Valentine - give Arizona a deep group. Including tight ends and backs, 13 different receivers have receptions. Thurman broke out with his best day against Utah, matching Wade's nine catches and totaling 165 yards, both career bests. The two-pronged 100-yard receiving duo was the first for UA since then freshman Wade and Northcutt did it in 1999 at Washington State. Nine players average more than 12 yards per catch with tight ends James Hugo (22.5) and Justin Levasseur (18.0) and WR Ricky Williams (18.5) leading a the way. Ealy had his first career grab against the Ducks, for 28 yards. But Wade's the go-to guy.
Briggs a Bulwark in LB Corps - Despite missing the Oregon game with an ankle injury, senior inside linebacker Lance Briggs leads Arizona with 35 tackles and five hits for losses. He had eight tackles against North Texas and was all over the field at Wisconsin, recording 15 tackles, second only to his initial game as a linebacker when he had 16 to open his true sophomore year at Utah in 2000. His total of 206 tackles in those two seasons came on the move. With 245 career hits (4 as a true freshman fullback on special teams in 1999, 35 in 2002), he'll move close to former UA All-American and NFL draftee Sean Harris (1991-94), a swift and rugged linebacker like Briggs who recorded 320 tackles. Briggs is a preseason All-American and clearly the top physical presence behind the line for the Wildcats. Beside him, senior Ray Wells brings a full year's experience. Sophomores Pat Howard and Kirk Johnson add the youth factor. Wells posted 10 tackles against North Texas, his career high. Howard missed the first two games after preseason knee arthroscopy, played at Wisconsin, then stepped up with six tackles against UNT, including one for a loss and a recovered fumble. He added seven tackles against the Ducks. In the meantime, true freshman Spencer Larsen has played in all five games on the kickoff teams and made tackles on the first two scrimmage plays of his career against NAU. He earned a start last week at whip linebacker and posted eight tackles and his first sack among two TFL. He has 16 tackles in the last two games. On the outside, junior Joe Siofele is the returning starter at whip linebacker, but has yet to start at the spot while filling in at defensive end in the absence of projected starter Andre Torrey. Siofele notched a career-high 11 tackles against Oregon. Junior Matt Molina has started two games at whip and knocked down two passes and contributed 11 tackles. Briggs, though, is clearly UA's primary sideline-to-sideline guy with some pop in his pads and the Cats need him on the field.
Flex-able - Despite some difficulty in 2001 - surrendering a school-record 34.3 points per game, for one -- Arizona kept its double-eagle flex defensive scheme. But in the off season coordinator Larry Mac Duff and head coach John Mackovic looked at ways to improve and did add some wrinkles to continue the gap-control, pressure style that pushed Arizona to the top of the national statistics in total defense and rushing defense in the 1990s. Injuries have basically sidelined the personnel involved in some of those tweaks at this juncture, however. Arizona is 16th nationally in pass defense (163.4 yards per game), No. 23 in scoring defense (18.2) and No. 41 in total defense.
Building Blocks? - The Wildcats have blocked two punts (both by since-injured Michael Jolivette and blocked a field goal (Carlos Williams) this year. But opponents have blocked three field goals (two by North Texas, one by Utah) and blocked a punt (Wisconsin). That and some difficulty in net punting (10th in league), kickoff coverage (8th), kickoff returns (109th nationally, 9th in league) and field-goal kicking (54%) have made special-teams play an adventure, to say the least. Still, the Cats are 30th nationally in punt returns (13.1 yards per play), place kicker Sean Keel is No. 18 nationally with 1.5 field goals per game, and returners Bobby Wade and Andrae Thurman pose a threat in the open field. True freshman Danny Baugher took over the starting punter role against North Texas but has not shown the big leg he's been seen to have in practice. (Walk-on punter Ramey Peru, who had started last year and early this year, left the team before the Oregon game.) Baugher carries a 37.9 yards per punt individual mark, but the Cats check in at 30.3 in the net punting department.
Secondary Infirmary - Junior cornerback Michael Jolivette's knee injury in practice before the Wisconsin game took one of the Cats' best defenders out of the lineup. Then last week the other starter, Darrell Brooks, also was out of the lineup with a sore back, as was backup Luis Nunez (groin). UA had to play true freshman Jason Martin in his first action of the yea to back up starters David Hinton and Gary Love. Jolivette, also a stalwart on special teams, blocked two punts against Northern Arizona to earn Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week honors earlier this year. He is a leadership key the Cats miss. Arizona's off-season work in the secondary centered on stopping the litany of big plays that plagued the defense in 2001. Jolivette intercepted five passes and set an Arizona single-season record in breaking up 20 passes a year ago. Michael's been a fixture of UA's secondary since his first game in 2000. Since, he's intercepted five passes in each of his first two years (after redshirting the '99 season). Across from Jolivette, redshirt freshman Darrell Brooks wrested the top role, then was hurt against North Texas and missed the Oregon game. Senior David Hinton started at Wisconsin in Jolivette's place, while junior Gary Love earned his first base-defense starts at corner (started at nickel vs. Utah) against North Texas and Oregon. Hinton caused a fumble and intercepted a pass vs. the Mean Green, then added six tackles against the Ducks. Love had three hits and broke up a pass against UO. Junior Luis Nunez also has played on the edge, but is nursing a groin pull. At free safety, senior Jarvie Worcester is the dean of the secondary and a fifth-year player with three years' experience. He's the fourth-leading tackler on the club with 28 hits and has one of UA's two interceptions... Junior Clay Hardt is the starter at strong safety but missed his start at Wisconsin with an ankle sprain, then aggravated it against Oregon and is questionable for the Washington game. Sophomore Tony Wingate had his first career start at the Kat safety spot for Hardt against UNT, and added four tackles, a pass deflection and a tackle for loss in extended playing time against the Ducks. True freshman Lamon Means has seen some snaps at free safety... Note: DBs have broken up 18 opponent passes in 130 attempts (14%)...
Getting to the QB - Entering the season Arizona was No. 7 nationally among I-A teams with 74 quarterback sacks from 2000-2001. The team has 10 this year with nine players in on the action. The Cats had two against Oregon last week - a career first for Spencer Larsen and a shared sack by Young Thompson and Copeland Bryan. Bryan's half-sack was his first, too. Arizona had one disputed sack at Wisconsin (statisticians didn't count it) and one against North Texas, both by team leader Joe Siofele, who has three playing a different position (DE) than his career at OLB. Meantime, opponents have collected 14 sacks on about 181 passing plays the Cats have used, decent protection considering the varying lineups used along the front. On defense, more pressure up front would help; no one covers Pac-10 receivers forever.
Three-and-Out - Arizona held an accomplished Oregon offense at times and the Ducks had three possessions of three-and-out among 13 total possessions. The Wildcats had forced opponents into 20 three-and-out possessions among 41 total possessions entering the North Texas game - plus three other four-play drives. UA held the Mean Green to only two three-and-out possessions among 10 total. Still, 25-of-64 is not a bad rate - 39 percent -- for forcing the other team into the minimum number of plays. Opposing defenses have forced Arizona into possessions of three plays or less only 13 times (discounting end-of-half or eat-the-clock final possessions.
Thrown to the Lions - Coaches had to move whip linebacker Joe Siofele to defensive end in the first three games due to Andre Torrey's injured hip. He joined sophomore end Fata Avegalio (his first career start), sophomore tackle Carlos Williams (his first career start) and senior tackle Young Thompson. Then in the Utah game, sophomore Vince Feula had his first career start ahead of Williams. In the Wisconsin game, redshirt freshman Brad Brittain had his first start ahead of Feula. True freshman end Marcus Smith, junior college end Javier Martinez and junior college tackle Carl Tuitavuki also have seen action. It's not exactly an old vets brigade on the defensive front. Brittain was hurt (knee) vs. North Texas and that reduces the depth. Notes: ...If junior college transfer defensive end Andre Torrey is able to return from a hip injury, it will further change the complexion of UA's front. He was arguably the best pass rusher in the group during spring ball, but has yet to play... Linemen had big plays against UNT. Thompson caused a fumble, with a nice punch-out tackle, that Arizona recovered to lead to its first touchdown. On special teams, Williams blocked the field goal that Gary Love returned to give UA the eventual winning points. Siofele recorded UA's lone sack in the red-zone stop that led to the blocked field goal return, plus had a stop on a goal-line stand that turned away the Mean Green without points.
Failed Goals -UA did not attempt a field goal against Oregon. The previous week the team tried four field goals last week and came up empty. Two were blocked. Ouch. Senior Sean Keel had hit six field goals in the first three games to rate No. 5 nationally and third in the Pac-10 at 2.0 per game. He missed from 26 and 32 yards after the blocked try against UNT, then gave way to Bobby Gill - who had his 44-yard attempt blocked. Keel also had a 52-yard try blocked against Utah. He's missed from 29 and had a 52-yard attempt blocked (Utah). He's hit from 19, 21, 24, 27, 39 and 48 yards. Sophomore Gill came on for the team's final try in the opener and hit a 26-yarder in his first career attempt. Seven-for-13 overall is less than last year's 64% success rate (9-for-14, all by Keel). Note: ...Six of the made FGs this year came on red-zone penetrations, giving UA 18 points against a potential of 42... Gill earned the start against Oregon and knocked home his only kicks, two PAT attempts...
Conversions - Arizona has a decent edge in third-down conversion rate with 44 percent against opponents' 31 percent. A reasonable 6-for-15 mark against Oregon followed two weeks of 11-for-31 converting. Yet, last season the team finished with a 39 percent rate and has used some good plays to improve. In the opener UA converted 13-of-21 3rd down plays and 1-for-1 on 4th down to hang on to the ball at a 64 percent conversion rate. Against Utah it was a more modest 7-for-18. Opponents have managed only 22 third-down conversions in 72 tries. Oregon was not effective against an inspired UA defense with a 2-for-12 effort. North Texas was most effective at 7-for-16.
Time... Is On My Side - Arizona has a cumulative 10-minute edge in possession, thanks to the Utah contest. In the last three games the Cats have had deficits, although the Ducks only enjoyed a mere +80 seconds. Wisconsin used an eight-minute, 31-second scoring drive to help accrue an eight-minute edge in time of possession against the Cats. The Mean Green had a more modest 150-second edge. The running games unleashed by all three opponents pointed the way. Against Utah the Wildcats showed their best ball control with a deep-ball passing attack to build a whopping 13-minute edge, 36:32 to 23:28; against Northern Arizona UA built an 8:14 edge.
The Almost-Red Zone - Arizona did a credible job against Oregon by scoring two touchdowns in three penetrations of the UO 20 yard-line, but missed a solid chance by not punching in a fourth-quarter opportunity with 1st-and-goal at the Ducks' 7 yard-line. The Wildcats have scored 11 times in 17 trips inside the red zone, but only five touchdowns. Oregon, as it did the previous year, was perfect with three touchdowns in three penetrations. Against the Mean Green, three missed field goals gave Arizona one score in four trips. UNT scored two field goals in its four trips, UA blocked another FG try and held on downs. Against Wisconsin the Cats had to settle for a field goal after Andrae Thurman's 35-yard punt return set UA up with the ball at the Wisconsin 21 yard-line. UA reached the 10 but the Badgers stiffened. Earlier, UA ended a 76-yard drive at the Utah 4 and settled for a field goal, ended a 50-yard drive at the Utah 2 yard-line and settled for a field goal, and recovered a fumble at the Utah 19 and settled for a field goal. Not exactly punching it in. Defensively, Arizona opponents have scored five touchdowns in 12 eight incursions. NAU managed to penetrate Arizona's red zone once, and kicked a field goal, while Arizona had two of its three scoring-zone touchdowns (and two field goals) in five trips. Note: ...One of the TDs against Northern Arizona came on a fourth-down play from the 20 itself, a toss from Jason Johnson to James Hugo.
Arizona: 17 Scoring Zone Possessions - 11 scores; 65% scoring, 29% TD (5)
Opponents: 15 Scoring Zone Possessions - 12 scores; 80% scoring, 53% TD (8)
Turnabout is Fair Play - The Cats have held turnovers to a relative minimum, and helped the season margin by getting three takeaways against North Texas and keeping things even against Oregon. Arizona is No. 11 nationally with only six turnovers, but is No. 97 nationaly with only seven turnovers gained, rating the team No. 57 in margin at +.20 per game. The Ducks scored after UA's lone turnover, an interception. In the UNT game, both teams used some kicking mishaps to score miscue points - the Mean Green blocked a field goal and drove for a three-pointer of its own; Arizona blocked a field goal and recovered it for a 70-yard scoring play. Arizona also recovered a fumble deep in UNT's territory and punched it in for seven points. UA was somewhat sloppy against Utah, coughing up three turnovers that led to 14 points plus ruined a 52-yard drive. The takeaways last week improved UA to +1 in the turnover department with a game margin of +.25. UA's lone takeaway vs. the Utes was a recovered fumble at the Utah 19 yard-line, which resulted in Sean Keel's third field goal of the game. In the opener, Jarvie Worcester intercepted a pass and Gary Love recovered a fumble on punt coverage, but UA did not capitalize with points. Also versus NAU, two blocked punts by Michael Jolivette created short fields for touchdown and field-goal scoring drives. The Cats did not turn the ball over in that contest.
Turnovers: Arizona 6, Opponents 7
Turnover Points: Arizona 10, Opponents 28
Miscue Points: Arizona 27, Opponents 31 (includes turnover, blocked/botched kick possessions
Eddie Lynch Athletics Pavilion Grand Opening
The UA athletics department celebrated the grand opening of the new $14 million Eddie Lynch Athletics Pavilion Sept. 14, prior to the Utah game. Parts of the facility have been in use since July - the 19,000 square foot Estes Family strength and conditioning center and the 5,300 square foot Kasser Family Medical Treatment Center. The 10,000 square foot Jim Click Hall of Champions was unveiled with its new exhibits highlighting Arizona athletics heritage. The Lynch Pavilion represents the most dynamic event in Arizona athletics facility history since Arizona Stadium skybox construction in the late 1970s. The pavilion was paid for with private funds raised by the athletics department.
...The loss of halfback Clarence Farmer for the season will take one big-play aspect away from Arizona. On his 17 career touchdown runs, the junior All-Pac-10 back has averaged 25.7 yards. He added a 70-yard score to the mix this year at Wisconsin, UA's longest play of the year... Farmer did not redshirt his freshman year but cannot get a season of eligibility restored because he played in four games this season...
...Three starters along the offensive front missed the season opener because of injury, but two have returned to action. Left guard Makoa Freitas injured his hand a week before the opener and had surgery. Center Keoki Fraser suffered an ankle injury in camp that kept him out of the first game. Right tackle Darren Safranek had off-season surgery (shoulder/knee) and hasn't been able to practice yet. Backup guard and placements snapper John Vorsheck suffered a concussion that kept him out of the first three games. The losses gave UA a different look vs. NAU, with sophomore Chris Johnson at left tackle, senior Aaron Higginbotham at left guard, junior Reggie Sampay at center, freshman John Parada at right guard, and junior Brandon Phillips at right tackle. Parada was hurt against Utah and missed the next three games, so backup center Kili Lefotu started in his place at guard. Offensive line coach Charlie Dickey also has played mid-year transfer Matt Lamatsch at tackle. Coaches moved Freitas to guard a week into. He's been a tackle for most of his UA career...
...The Cats have yet to field projected (post-spring) lineups because of injuries on both sides of the ball...
...The two blocked punts by Michael Jolivette against Northern Arizona are a school record...
...Net punting is hurting UA's field position. The Cats are No. 102 nationally with a 30.5 net punting figure...
...First-time starting halfback Mike Bell scored his first career receiving touchdown (19 yards) against Oregon after notching his first rushing touchdown a week earlier against North Texas on a 14-yard jaunt immediately after UA recovered a fumble...
...The Cats' five-wide formation to open the North Texas game saw two players earn their initial starting roles - wide receivers Juan Valentine and Ricky Williams... Several more had their first starts the next week against Oregon - halfback Mike Bell, fullback Sean Jones, place kicker Bobby Gill, linebacker Spencer Larsen and linebacker Patrick Howard...
...Senior linebacker Lance Briggs and senior wide receiver Bobby Wade have accepted invitations to join the West roster for the Shrine East-West Game early in 2003 in Palo Alto, Calif. They're currently among 19 Pacific-10 Conference players on the team to be coached by Washington State's Mike Price...
...In-game coaching duties spot head coach John Mackovic, defensive coordinator Larry Mac Duff, offensive line coach Charlie Dickey, special teams coordinator Scott Pelluer, wide receivers coach Rob Ianello and defensive line coach Marty on the sideline this year. The high view in the coaches booth is used by offensive coordinator Rick Dykes, defensive ends coach Charlie Camp, secondary coach Steve Bernstein, running backs coach Jay Boulware and graduate assistants Jeff Rodgers and Terry Samuel.
