The line: Arizona by 41

Last meeting: 2007: Arizona 48, WSU 20

Fun Football Fact: Zona's Mike Thomas leads the Pac-10 in receiving yards (614). It could be a refreshing change to get run over by a passing offense instead of a rushing one.

Recommended Gametime Snack: $4 slice of Pizza Pipeline Pizza at the stadium. Three of those equals one whole pizza (money wise) in the real world. But man, it's delicious.

Prediction: The last time the Cougs and Wildcats met on Dad's weekend, in the rain, it was the start of the three game skid that cost WSU a Bowl game and possibly cost Doba his job. It was also the last time the Cougs were ranked. Today will be like that, only with a lot more apathy. I'll go out on a limb, however, and say that we'll actually score some points. Arizona 51, WSU 7.
