Arizona

[FirstDownB]

Interested in some opinions on our bowl opponent from those who have watched them. Having only seen highlights, it appears they rely heavily on big plays, mostly from their dual threat QB. But their offense doesn't appear to be extremely sophisticated. A lot of spread option and RPO's. I'm thinking Holt & Co. can come up with an effective game plan with a month to prepare to prevent the big plays, forcing them execute over and over.

Heard their D gives up big "chunk" plays to steal a phrase from Mike Tomlin.

Should be an interesting matchup. Our offense doesn't produce a lot of chunk plays and our defense doesn't give a lot of them up. They appear to be just the opposite.

Just did a quick count.. Arizona has 14 rushes and 10 receptions of over 40 yards this season. Purdue has 1 rush and 4 receptions of >40 yards.
Prevent. The. Big. Play.
