The Arizona Wildcats gave us a preview Thursday night of what promises to be a crazy weekend of football. ‘Zona upset #2 Oregon – again – this time in Eugene, 31-24. This was the second straight win by the Wildcats over a Top 5 Oregon team, and featured a spectacular play by LB Scooby Wright III to clinch it. (Yes, there are two other Scoobys – Scoobies? – out there.) The Wildcats were underdogs by three touchdowns (+21.5) in what most expected to be a high-scoring shootout (82 o/u) featuring the Ducks scoring machine, quarterback Marcus Mariota. But Anu Solomon, Arizona’s redshirt freshman QB, made the biggest impact, aided by diminutive (listed at a generous 5’7″) RB Terris Jones-Grisgby.
