| Spring painful for Pac-12 teams |
|---|
PHOENIX (AP) Coming off a stellar sophomore season, Arizona's Austin Hill was expected to become one of the nation's best receivers in 2013. Instead, he may have to spend most, if not all of the season, on the sideline after tearing his left anterior cruciate ligament in spring practice last week. |

Jaguars signed Arizona QB Matt Scott. Scott succeeded Nick Foles at Arizona and excelled in first-year coach Rich Rodriguez's spread-option offense, posting a 27:14 TD-to-INT ratio and 60.3 completion rate in his lone season as a starter. He rushed for six more scores. An intriguing athlete with some explosiveness as a runner, Scott has a long way to go as a passer. Despite strong velocity, his footwork, accuracy, and decision making were all suspect as a Wildcat, and he is very raw. With the quarterback situation so dire in Jacksonville, Scott could see the field as a rookie if he makes the team. |

Jaguars signed Arizona QB Matt Scott. Scott succeeded Nick Foles at Arizona and excelled in first-year coach Rich Rodriguez's spread-option offense, posting a 27:14 TD-to-INT ratio and 60.3 completion rate in his lone season as a starter. He rushed for six more scores. An intriguing athlete with some explosiveness as a runner, Scott has a long way to go as a passer. Despite strong velocity, his footwork, accuracy, and decision making were all suspect as a Wildcat, and he is very raw. With the quarterback situation so dire in Jacksonville, Scott could see the field as a rookie if he makes the team.
One NFL regional scout believes Arizona QB Matt Scott is better than Nick Foles. "He has all the tools, throws a beautiful ball and has a lot of upside," the scout told Dan Pompei. Scott started over Foles in the early parts of his collegiate career, but lost the job and was forced to wait until his senior year to claim the top spot again. Scott could be a second day selection.
Arizona QB Matt Scott will visit the Broncos on April 11. Scott visited the Browns on Wednesday and previously worked out for the Bills, Eagles, and Seahawks. The Broncos seem to be working out a handful of quarterbacks in the second and third tier, which is a smart move. Otherwise they would be putting all of their future eggs in the basket of Brock Osweiler.
Draft Insider Tony Pauline reports Arizona QB Matt Scott will visit the Cleveland Browns on April 10. Scott is a raw but talented player that has a strong arm and is mobile, which is likely the two biggest reasons new head coach Rob Chudzinski may be interested in him. Scott is a developmental prospect, however, and needs a lot of work on his technique and mechanics. It's been said that he is rising up draft boards, potentially going in the third-round.
Draft Insider's Tony Pauline reports Arizona QB Matt Scott will work out for the Seattle Seahawks. Pauline added that Scott put on weight since the combine, where he weighed in at 213 pounds. Scott is now 221. Despite his added weight, Scott needs a lot of work on his overall game. He is very raw, as witnessed in his footwork, but has the athleticism and arm strength to 'wow' evaluators.
NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah doubts that Arizona QB Matt Scott makes it out of the third-round. "He has several teams interested," Jeremiah tweeted. Almost every team with an obvious quarterback need has putt Scott through a workout, and his athleticism and arm strength likely intrigue a lot of teams. We worry about everything else, including footwork, placement, and decisions under pressure.
Arizona QB Matt Scott will visit the Browns on April 8. The Browns currently have Brandon Weeden in place to run Rob Chudzinski's vertical passing offense, but we expect the offensive focused head coach to target a younger option at some point in April's draft. Scott only has one full season as a starter under his belt, but he is an athletic mover with a strong arm that needs help putting the tools together to form a complete package.
Arizona QB Matt Scott has "tentative plans" to visit the Buffalo Bills on April 8-9. This includes dinner on April 8 and a typical visit the following day. A private workout has not been scheduled at this time. As always when discussing the Bills' quarterback need, their ties to Ryan Nassib are strong, but we wouldn't be surprised to see head coach Doug Marrone go in a different direction.
NFL Films' Greg Cosell believes Arizona QB Matt Scott has an "overall similar skill set" to Colin Kaepernick. Cosell makes sure to point out that Scott is not quite as big or as strong as Kaepernick, but "can do much of what" the 49ers' quarterback does. Buzz continues to build for the 2012 starter, and he might be a day two selection in April's draft.
Arizona QB Matt Scott is visiting the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. Scott also has a private workout scheduled in the coming weeks with Eagles' coach Bill Lazor. The Arizona quarterback fits what Chip Kelly likes to do on offense, in terms of athleticism to spread defenses out along with velocity to quickly fit passes into windows. With all the buzz around Scott we expect him to draw a third-round selection.
Arizona QB Matt Scott will visit the Buffalo Bills in the near future. The Bills have consistently been linked to Ryan Nassib due to new head coach Doug Marrone, but it is possible that another team swipes Nassib away from his former college coach. Scott is certainly generating a lot of buzz during the dead period of the draft process and could be a second day selection.
Arizona QB Matt Scott is drawing "inevitable comparisons" to Russell Wilson, according to draft insider Tony Pauline. Pauline notes that he actually sees more of Colin Kaepernick in Scott's game. "Scouts we spoke with also mentioned how personable Scott was and how he comes across as a leader and quality person," writes Pauline. "The thought process during the workout was Scott had moved himself into the third round... When the day was done a number of coaches were of the opinion Scott could actually sneak into the late part of round two."
Arizona QB Matt Scott will meet with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. "The Eagles will be the first NFL team he visits, according to the Arizona Daily Star, and he is expected to work out for them later this month," Tim McManue writes. "The Chargers, Cardinals and Bills are also apparently showing some interest." Positive buzz is building around the agile Scott. He has some intriguing tools, including a quick release and velocity, but Scott panicked in the pocket too often.
Arizona Daily Star reporter Daniel Berk was told Arizona QB Matt Scott will be meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Scott is scheduled to visit the Eagles on Monday and work out for them later this month. Scott also revealed that he has been receiving interest from the San Diego Chargers, Arizona Cardinals and Buffalo Bills, among other teams. Scott has a strong arm and shows good accuracy but is very raw. He needs to improve his mechanics and footwork.
After speaking with NFL coaches, NFL Films' Greg Cosell believes the read option will not be a "big issue" once studied by defensive coaches. Cosell reiterated that NFL defensive coaches share the sentiment. We believe this might affect the evaluations of Matt Scott and EJ Manuel, two quarterbacks whose evaluations are frequently associated with the read option.
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team is looking for a RB. "In this league I think you'd like to have more than one back," Jones said. "Obviously we love DeMarco, but you also have to look he's not been healthy yet in terms of a full season. I think we need a back. We like (Lance) Dunbar and (Phillip) Tanner but I think they're more third backs, not second backs."
CBS Sports' Bruce Feldman says Arizona's Matt Scott "is the QB sleeper many scouts like." Scott only started one full season after backing up Nick Foles, but Feldman notes that the quarterback is, "intriguing many personnel people and was the name I heard multiple times when I asked who was a sleeper to keep an eye on." The Wildcat has a strong arm and is mobile, but we think he is a bit too frenetic with his movements. Scott is working with George Whitfield, however.
Arizona's Matt Scott is a favorite of Jaguars QB coach Frank Scelfo, according to draft insider Tony Pauline. "During Senior Bowl week the consensus was Jacksonville will give Blaine Gabbert one more season to prove himself," Pauline writes. "And while the franchise is likely to select a quarterback in the draft, it may not come until the later rounds... Many consider Scott the perfect developmental prospect at quarterback." The Wildcat has an odd, frenetic release but has plenty of velocity and mobility.
According to SI's Tony Pauline, Arizona QB Matt Scott has demonstrated the "strongest arm of any quarterback" at East-West Shrine practices. Pauline credited Scott with "nice zip" and for being "relatively accurate" with "nice height." Scott measured in at 6-foot-1 3/4, 202, so he is still pretty slightly built. Still, as a plus athlete with a live arm, Scott is one of the few Shrine Game quarterbacks with a legit chance to make an NFL roster.
Arizona's Matt Scott is the QB that could surprise "some people with how high he goes," according to one NFL scout. The scout added, "look at the rookie quarterbacks playing so well this year -- they all have the ability to extend plays due to their mobility. That's where the NFL is going now at the quarterback position. Scott has that ability, too. He's the guy lying in the weeds." Scott will certainly have a chance to add to his resume in the pre-draft process.
Arizona senior QB Matt Scott completed 27-of-45 passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's bowl win over Nevada. Scott added 21 yards on the ground, including a touchdown. The senior had a few ugly throws but was consistent when the Wildcats needed it most. Scott certainly has the mobility to buy time and enough arm to potentially make a roster as long as his decision making is under control.
Arizona will play Nevada in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl on December 15. This will be the first bowl game of the season. Arizona senior quarterback Matt Scott, a likely E/W Shrine invite if not Senior Bowl alternate, will headline the game but has the nation's leading rusher in sophomore Ka'Deem Carey. Be sure to also watch receiver Dan Buckner, center Kyle Quinn, and powerful fullback Taimi Tutogi. For Nevada, safety Duke Williams will likely be a third day selection.
Arizona senior QB Matt Scott threw for 230 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions on 19-of-39 completions Friday against Arizona State. This certainly wasn't one of Scott's most consistent performances, and his interceptions looked more like punts than than throws. Still, a solid second half of this game showed why he will likely be drafted in the later rounds in April. Evaluators will appreciate his athleticism and adequate arm.
Arizona senior QB Matt Scott is listed as probable to start Saturday's game against Utah. Scott sat out last weekend's game against Utah after dealing with concussion like symptoms against USC. Arizona and Scott denied the possible concussion, instead blaming his issues on an illness, but after watching him take a handful of hits we are a little skeptical.
Arizona starting senior QB Matt Scott was listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Colorado with a concussion. Junior college transfer B.J. Denker will almost certainly draw the start. Scott has shown well this year and will likely receive a postseason all star invitation.
Arizona senior QB Matt Scott is considered questionable to play in Saturday's game against Colorado. The Wildcats were blown out by UCLA last weekend and Scott hasn't been saved from a numerous amount of head shots in recent weeks. Junior college transfer B.J. Denker would get the start in Scott's place if he is unable to go.
Amid some controversy, Arizona senior QB Matt Scott stated that he did not suffer a concussion last weekend against USC. Scoot took multiple shots to the head after a run Saturday and ended up vomiting on the field after the play. Instead of a concussion, Scott claims he only got "winded" after carrying the ball more times against the Trojans than he did in recent weeks. The Wildcats face UCLA this weekend.
Arizona senior WR Dan Buckner had his best game of the season against Oregon State on Saturday, catching six balls for 199 yards and a touchdown. Buckner averaged nearly 20 yards per reception and his longest gain came off of a broken play along the sideline where the senior ran under and tracked a lofted football. The Wildcats has sputtered at times, but Buckner should continue to see a large amount of targets.
Arizona senior QB Matt Scott did not face contact in spring practice and will continue to not see live action in preseason camp for fear of injury. "Talk about nervous. I'm nervous. I've never done that before," head coach Rich Rodriguez said. Anthony Gimino of the Tucson Citizen believes Scott is a better passer than former Rodriguez pupils Pat White and Denard Robinson, therefore the Wildcats may not run the ball as often as other Rodriguez coached squads. Arizona seems to be putting all their eggs in Scott's basket, using part-time junior receiver Richard Morrison as his backup.
Wildcats coach Rich Rodriguez expects a lot from leading returning receiver Dan Buckner. The transfer from Texas, who has a dream build for a receiver at 6-4 and 214, caught 42 passes for 606 yards and 2 TDs in his first season with the Wildcats. If coach Rich Rodriguez has his way, those numbers will be easily surpassed in 2012. With last year's top outside threat and leading receiver Juron Criner gone -- as well as the next two leading receivers -- Buckner will move to the outside in Rodriguez's spread offense. The new offense has certainly made for an adjustment with its fast pace and terminology, but so far, so good for Buckner.
Acknowledging there is much room for improvement with respect to his game, quarterback Matt Scott feels as though he is becoming a leader. First-year coach Rich Rodriguez was pleased with Scott's effort during the team's first scrimmage Saturday. It is critical that Scott performs well not only because he is in line to take over for the record-setting Nick Foles, but he is the only scholarship QB with any experience. Scott, who made two starts in place of the injured Foles last season, threw for 776 yards and 4 TDs in 2011. He can also produce on the ground as he totaled 136 yards rushing in the pair of starts.
Arizona's Nick Foles finished his career by equaling school records for single-season (31) and career (64) touchdown passes. Foles was 33-of-43 for 352 yards and 3/1 in a 45-37 win over La-Lafayette. Foles accomplished another career milestone by going over the 10,000-yard mark. He finished the season with 4,334 yards giving him 10,068 in his four seasons with the Wildcats.
Receiver Dan Buckner (shoulder) will not play this week against Utah, according to interim coach Tim Kish. Buckner separated his shoulder in the Washington game and had to leave, and has been ruled out this coming week against the Utes. Buckner has 38 catches for a team-high 568 yards for the Wildcats this season.
Arizona receiver Juron Criner had 3 touchdowns among 10 receptions in a 48-12 win over visiting UCLA. Criner, who had 11 TD receptions a year ago, doubled his 2011 scoring output on a night when he went 10-101. It was his first 100-yard game since the opener against Northern Arizona. He missed the Sept. 8 game at Oklahoma State while recovering from an appendectomy.
Arizona's Nick Foles throws for 291 yards and 3 TDs in a 48-12 rout of visiting UCLA. The yardage was Foles' second-lowest of the season. The difference Thursday was he and the Wildcats were not coming from behind and he had plenty of help from a running game that was 119th and next-to-last nationally coming in. Foles has thrown at least 3 TD passes in four games and has 18 on the season.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles looks to continue to put up huge passing numbers against a struggling Oregon State defense this Saturday. Foles has put up 1,877 yards through the air this year, good for second in all of college football. He has also thrown for 14 TDs and 2 INTs, though the Wildcats have only managed one win this season. The senior threw for 425 yard and 4 TDs last week against USC in a 48-41 loss. Foles looks to poised to throw for huge numbers again this week, going against a Beaver defense ranked 62nd in total defense and 95th in points allowed.
Quarterbacks Nick Foles, Matt Scott and Bryson Beirne completed 79 percent of their passes and racked up 382 yards through the air in Saturday's spring game. The ball was spread around a quite a bit as usual with former quarterback Richard Morrison leading the way with 63 yards and two scores. Dan Buckner also caught a touchdown pass and finished with 57 yards receiving. With receivers Juron Criner and David Douglas also returning, the Wildcats offense will be a veteran group in 2011. And that chemistry showed in Saturday's game.
This offseason Arizona running back Keola Antolin is not worried about being the number one back because with the graduation of Nic Grigsby, he is the uncontested starter. His main concern is getting bigger to withstand the rigors of the entire year and to stay healthy. Antolin is a hard runner for his small size and as long as he can stay healthy all season, could be in for around 1,000 total yards and eight touchdowns.
Texas transfer and current Arizona wide receiver Dan Buckner will be eligible to play for the 'Cats this year and has been working on hard with the first team offense. Buckner has been staying late to work with quarterback Nick Foles on his timing and is hoping to make a big impact opposite Juron Criner. Buckner is a prime candidate for a breakout season as he has shown he can perform at a high level during his freshman season with the Longhorns.
In a recent interview with the Tucson Citizen, Arizona head coach Mike Stoops let his intentions be known with regards to whether or not to redshirt quarterback Matt Scott.ÿ Stoops said "Let's try for that redshirt." and "We're on the same page. That looks like the direction we're headed if nothing happens to Nick. We have to keep Nick healthy. Obviously, a lot will depend on that." This is going to look like a great move as long as Nick Foles can stay healthy.ÿ
Arizona head coach Mike Stoops has taken a long look at his team and has decided to scrap the power run game in 2011. Stoops states that "We'll be more like (Texas) Tech than we were in the past. We'll evaluate all our personnel this winter and see what gives us the best opportunity to move the football." Arizona brings back gun slinging quarterback Nick Foles as well as top receiver Juron Criner. Add in the addition of Texas transfer Dan Buckner and you have the ingredients of a potent passing attack.
Arizona receiver Juron Criner has decided to return for his senior season. "I think that, obviously, is a big deal for us," coach Mike Stoops said of Criner's return. Criner and quarterback Nick Foles will form one of the most dangerous pitch and catch combinations in the Pac-10 in 2011.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles plans to return to Arizona for his senior season and not enter the 2011 NFL Draft. “I plan on being back,” Foles said when asked of his future plans. We've had the pleasure to meet a number of rabid Wildcat fans this year and I'm sure they'll be thrilled to have the strong-armed Foles back for another year.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner caught six passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns in the overtime loss to Arizona State. Criner finishes the regular season with 73 catches for 1,186 yards and 10 touchdowns, despite dealing with a turf toe injury for most of the season. He should be one of the top options in BCS leagues during the bowl season, as he projects to put up some monster numbers against a Big 12 defense.
Arizona wide receiver David Douglas scored two touchdowns in the overtime loss to Arizona State. He had four catches for 26 yards and one carry for nine yards. Nick Foles continued to show trust in Douglas when the Wildcats needed a big play. Douglas caught the tying touchdown with 33 seconds left in the game and then scored on a lateral in overtime. He is only an option in the bowl season in shallow leagues.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles completed 22-of-36 passes for 262 yards and three touchdowns in the overtime loss to Arizona State. It was his third straight game with three passing touchdowns. Foles finishes the regular season on a tear. In his last three games he threw for 1,063 yards with nine touchdowns and only one interceptions. He will most likely face a Big 12 team in the bowl season, so he could post some nice numbers; assuming he avoids the Nebraska defense that shut him out last bowl season.
Arizona running back Keola Antolin tied his career-high with 25 carries for 83 yards in the overtime loss to Arizona State. He was held without a catch for the first time all season. It was shocking to see the Wildcats continue to try and pound away with the smallish Antolin, as the passing game is their bread and butter. He isn't going to be a great option in the bowl season with Nic Grigsby getting some time to heal up.
Arizona junior wide receiver Juron Criner caught three balls for 109 yards and two scores against Oregon. Give Criner over 1,100 yards from scrimmage and nine scores for 2010.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles threw for 448 yards and three scores against one interception in the Friday night loss to Oregon. If Foles returns for his senior campaign, then we're looking at one of the top BCS quarterbacks.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner had six catches for 98 yards in the loss to USC. He added one carry for seven yards. Criner battled through a bum problem to post another solid game. He has been outstanding over his last four games (31 catches for 431 yards and three touchdowns) and is now 18 yards short of 1,000 on the season.
Arizona was without running back Nic Grigsby (ankle), wide receiver Bug Wright (ankle), and wide receiver David Roberts (concussion) in the loss to USC. The Wildcat offense didn't appear to miss any of them but Grigsby could have been used to help jump start the running game. Look for them all to return next week against Oregon.
Arizona running back Keola Antolin had 10 carries for 38 yards in the loss to USC. He was unable to reach the end zone for the first time in six games. The Trojans jumped out to an early 21-7 lead and caused the Wildcats to attack through the air. It was an enticing matchup on paper but sometimes those don't always work out. Look for the Wildcats to try and get more balanced next weekend against Oregon.
Arizona wide receiver David Douglas caught six passes for 44 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to USC. Douglas was quiet while Nick Foles was injured but he is now becoming a part of the offense again. He is only averaging 8.6 yards per catch this season but he is targeted frequently in the red zone. Pick him up if you need a quick fix at wide receiver.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles completed 32-of-48 passes for 353 yards and tied his season-high with three touchdowns in the loss to USC. Foles has now thrown 48 passes in each of the last two games but the Wildcats have lost both contests. He looked fully recovered from his knee injury and could be looking at another shootout next weekend against Oregon.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner is still dealing with a foot/toe injury from earlier this year. Criner has been battling the injury since September, but has still been the focal point of the passing offense. There have been no practice updates on Criner so far this week.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles completed 28-of-48 passes for 248 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the loss at Stanford. Foles was pressured all night and never got in a rhythm. He almost was forced to leave the game with a left shoulder injury but battled through it with backup Matt Scott already out. He is a much better quarterback in real life than fantasy (only 10 touchdowns) but he should have a monster game next weekend against a bad USC pass defense.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby re-aggravated his right ankle injury on his only carry of the game in the loss at Stanford. He finished with one carry for two yards. Grigsby has all but seen his great start to the season slip away. Even if he can manage to get healthy in the next couple of weeks, there is no promise that he will regain his starting job with the way that Keola Antolin is playing.
Arizona backup quarterback Matt Scott was unavailable in the loss at Stanford. He is dealing with a wrist injury he suffered against UCLA. Now we know why Nick Foles was rushed back. The Wildcats could have used Scott's mobility against a stout Stanford pass rush. He is worth stashing as a handcuff to Foles until we find out more about his injury.
Arizona running back Keola Antolin had 16 carries for 86 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Stanford. He added two catches for 22 yards. Antolin has now scored in five straight games and over that span has 567 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns. With Nic Grigsby re-aggravating his ankle injury in the game, Antolin should be the featured back the rest of the way. He should be owned in all BCS leagues.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner had nine catches for 98 yards and a touchdown in the loss at Stanford. He added three carries for 50 yards on jet sweeps as well. The Wildcats are doing everything they can to get the ball in Criner's hands. At one point he hobbled off the field with a leg injury but quickly came back in and scored on the drive. He is one of the best wide receivers in the country and now has 58 catches for 884 yards and six touchdowns on the season.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles (knee) was a full participant in practice Monday and is 100% healthy according to head coach Mike Stoops. Well this should clearly indicate that Foles will start this weekend against Stanford barring an unexpected setback. Matt Scott will move back into the backup role, but he should have earned some opportunities in special packages which should hurt Foles's value going forward.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby's sprained ankle isn't expected to keep him out of this weekend's tilt against Stanford. Grigsby got hurt late in the first quarter against UCLA and wasn't able to return to the game. Even though he is expected to play, Keola Antolin has all but wrestled away the feature back role for the Wildcats. Keep expectations for Grigsby down around 50 yards and a touchdown.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby left the game in the first quarter against UCLA with a sprained right ankle. He finished with five carries for 31 yards and one catch for 11 yards. The injury is not considered serious but Grigsby had seen some of his carries shift to Keola Antolin even before the injury. He is becoming more and more dependent on his touchdowns (nine) to make a difference in fantasy leagues. The senior can probably be traded in dynasty leagues if you can get a draft pick in return.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles will regain his starting job this weekend against Stanford if he is healthy enough to play. He was seen warming up late in the fourth quarter against UCLA looked headed to running the two-minute offense until the Wildcat defense made a stop. Matt Scott has been brilliant in his two starts but Foles still is the better option. Expect Scott to still get some playing time as his legs can provide the Wildcats with a different way to attack defenses.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner had eight catches for 127 yards and one touchdown in the win over UCLA. It was his fourth game with at least eight catches and 100 yards. Criner has turned into quite the stud and didn't suffer any drop off even with the backup quarterback playing the last two games. He leads the Pac 10 with 6.2 receptions per game and is second with 98.2 yards per game. The competition is about to get tough with Stanford, USC, and Oregon on tap the next three weeks but keep him in your lineups.
Arizona wide receiver David Douglas was held without a catch for the second straight game in the win over UCLA. Douglas had 26 catches for 235 yards in the first five games of the year but has been held to just one catch for 15 yards int he last three. He may find life easier when Nick Foles (his roommate) returns under center but keep him out of the lineup for now. David Roberts set season-highs with six catches and 90 yards and appears to have moved ahead of Douglas for the time being.
Arizona running back Keola Antolin had a season-high 23 carries for 111 yards and a touchdown in the win at UCLA. It was his second straight 100 yard game and fourth straight with a touchdown. Antolin has taken the reigns in the Wildcat backfield and has 58 carries for 317 yards and five touchdowns. Nic Grigsby had to leave the game with an ankle injury and if he can't play next weekend then expect plenty of Antolin. Pick him up ASAP if you need a running back.
Arizona quarterback Matt Scott completed 24-of-36 passes for a career-high 319 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He added 12 carries for 71 yards. Scott has been terrific in the last two games completing 72% of his passes and amassing 552 passing yards and 136 rushing yards. He did commit two costly turnovers in the red zone that will probably make head coach Mike Stoops decision to return to Nick Foles a little easier.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles (knee) will travel with the team and could play against UCLA. "I think Nick's ready to go," coach Mike Stoops said. "We're pleased with the progress he's made. We expect him to be 100 percent on Saturday." Stoops has yet to name a starter. Stoops has been playing this one close to the vest for obvious reason. Foles and Matt Scott are two completely different quarterbacks and you may as well make the Bruins prepare for both.
The Tuscon Citizen reports that Arizona quarterback Nick Foles (knee) is deemed "questionable" for this week's game at UCLA by head coach Mike Stoops. Though Matt Scott is a very different quarterback, the Cats are fortunate to have such a talented backup. Unless things change considerably between now and Saturday, fantasy owners should avoid Foles this week.
Arizona running back Keola Antolin had 14 carries for a season-high 114 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Washington. He burst through the hole for a 78-yard score in the second quarter. Antolin has really produced over the last two games (35 carries for 206 yards and four touchdowns). He may not have the starter tag but he is getting the most action in the Wildcats backfield right now. He has a nice matchup against UCLA next weekend.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles "is close" to returning according to head coach Mike Stoops. He missed yesterday's win with a dislocated kneecap. The performance of backup Matt Scott had to have the Wildcats pleased but Foles isn't going to lose the job. Early speculation is that Scott will prepare to start the game this weekend but Foles should be healthy enough to come in should he falter.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner had eight catches for 108 yards and a touchdown in the win over Washington. It was his third 100 yard receiving game of the year. So much for the thought that backup quarterback Matt Scott would limit Criner's ability in the passing game. He showed no ill affects from his previous turf toe injury and should be started in all leagues going forward.
Arizona quarterback Matt Scott didn't look like a backup after completing 18-of-22 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Washington. He added seven carries for 65 yards. Scott was known as a runner but he completed over 80% of his passes in the win. He looks like he might get one more start before Nick Foles is healthy enough to get back on the field.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby had 12 carries for 50 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Washington. It appears that he is no longer the feature back for the Wildcats (that would be Keola Antolin) but he is still producing. He has nine touchdowns in seven games but his upside is limited as he appears to be a 12-15 carry back going forward.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner stated after practice on Wednesday that he is "feeling good, well-rested, and ready to go." He has been dealing with a lingering turf toe injury. The bothersome toe caused him to sit out most of the second half last weekend against Washington State. Matt Scott draws the start at quarterback this weekend and his running style may not lead to the production Criner is used to with Nick Foles under center. Start him with caution this week.
The knee injury suffered by Arizona quarterback Nick Foles doesn't appear to be season-ending. There is still no word on the exact injury but early indications were that it was a dislocated knee. Foles should be out around three weeks if that prognosis turns out to be correct. Since his game isn't built around speed, it shouldn't affect him once he returns to the field. Hold onto him until the exact extent of the injury is known as he could be a valuable commodity come November.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner caught two passes for a season-low 20 yards in the win at Washington State. He was shutout in the second half. The injury to starting quarterback Nick Foles had a lot to do with Criner's line tonight. Backup Matt Scott only completed one pass to him in almost three quarters and fantasy owners have to hope for a speedy recovery for Foles.
Arizona running back Keola Antolin set season highs with 21 carries, 90 rushing yards, and two touchdowns in the win at Washington State. He added one catch for 16 yards. Nic Grigsby was probable with a hip injury and saw action, but Antolin got the first carry of the game. Antolin has really come on the last two games and he has a great matchup against Washington next weekend, even if he is coming off the bench. The Wildcats figure to feature the running game if Nick Foles is forced to miss any time.
Arizona quarterback Matt Scott completed 14-of-20 passes for 139 yards with an interception in the win at Washington State. He entered early in the second quarter when starter Nick Foles had to leave with a knee injury. Scott, who is known for his running ability, finished with nine carries for -10 yards. He will probably take over for a couple of weeks while Foles heals up, but probably won't be of any use outside Pac 10 leagues. The Wildcats return home to face Washington next weekend.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles had to be helped off the field early in the second quarter after sustaining an injury to his right knee. Early indications are it might be a dislocated knee. Foles was 6-of-7 for 71 yards before being replaced by Matt Scott. This is a huge blow for the Wildcats, but at least they were playing Washington State tonight. Hopefully the injury is just minor and won't keep him out for more than a couple of weeks. Check back later this week for updates.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby has been limited by a hip flexor. Grigsby is expected to play this week against Washington State. Nothing heals a running back quicker than a date with Wazzu. Grigsby and running mate Keola Antolin have a good chance to rack up some fantasy points this week.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles completed 35-of-46 passes for a career-high 440 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the loss to Oregon State. He now leads the Pac 10 with 305.8 passing yards per game. Foles would easily have traded these numbers for a win, but his fantasy owners aren't complaining. Don't get caught up in the yardage totals though, as he has only nine touchdown passes compared to five interceptions on the season.
Arizona backup running back Keola Antolin had eight carries for 70 yards including a 33-yard touchdown in the loss to Oregon State. He added four catches for 40 yards and a touchdown. The Wildcats turned to Antolin to ignite the running game with Nic Grigsby struggling (five carries for 22 yards). He has 126 yards rushing, 146 yards receiving, and three touchdowns this season and has some value in Pac 10 leagues. He could potentially be the starter next season so keep track of him in dynasty leagues.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby had five carries for 22 yards in the loss to Oregon State. He added two catches for 41 yards and a touchdown through the air. The Wildcats were playing catch up from the get-go and didn't have much time to try and establish a running game. Grigsby has disappointed this year with only 274 rushing yards through five games, but owners have to be pleased with his six touchdowns. Hopefully he can top the century mark next week against Washington State.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner (turf toe) should be good to go this weekend against Oregon State. The bye week came at a good time for the Wildcats. Criner was able to play through the pain in the win over Cal on September 25th and catch the game winning touchdown. He is a must start against the Beavers 87th ranked pass defense.
Arizona wide receiver David Douglas had a team-leading six catches for 61 yards in the win over Cal. He now has 13 catches for 135 yards and a touchdown in his last two games. Douglas is taking advantage of defenses that are focused on stopping Juron Criner. The 6-foot-1 junior is second in the Pac 10 with 22 catches but only averages 9.1 yards per catch. He won't have monster games but he will do enough to give your fantasy team a shot at winning.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner caught a three-yard touchdown pass with 1:11 seconds left in the game to lead the Wildcats to a win over Cal. He finished with five catches for 68 yards. Criner had been questionable due to a lingering turf toe injury. He was held in check all night until the last drive that saw him catch three passes for 59 yards. The Wildcats have a bye week coming up and it couldn't have come at a better time for the injured wide out.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby carried the ball 12 times for 65 yards in the win over Cal. He added three catches for 10 yards. Not exactly the day fantasy owners had hoped for after watching Nevada run all over the Bears last weekend. Grigsby is still a good option going forward as he is second in the conference with five rushing touchdowns.
For the second week in a row, Arizona quarterback Nick Foles led the Wildcats to victory on a late fourth quarter drive. He threw for 212 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the win. The fourth quarter comeback saved the night for the Wildcats and maybe even a couple fantasy owners as Foles only had 153 yards passing up until that point. His 272 yards per game are second in the Pac 10 but he will need to score more touchdowns (six in four games) to move into the elite of the conference.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles led his team on nine play 73-yard fourth-quarter drive to pull out a win over Iowa. He finished with 303 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Arizona almost blew a 20-point halftime lead before Foles engineered the game-winning drive. He leads the Pac 10 with 292.3 passing yards per game, but fantasy owners would like to see more touchdowns before making him a BCS-league option.
Arizona wide receiver David Douglas had seven catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in the win over Iowa. He had five of those catches in the second half with Juron Criner sidelined with turf toe. Douglas' second half production shows the confidence that Nick Foles has in him. He leads the team with 16 catches and look for him to become a bigger part of the offense if Criner is out for a couple of weeks.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby had a disappointing game in the Wildcats upset of Iowa. He finished with 14 carries for 27 yards and fumbled in the red zone. His four catches for 24 yards helped out some, but much more was expected. He is still off to a decent start with 187 yards and five rushing touchdowns through three games. If wide receiver Juron Criner is out for an extended period of time, look for the Wildcats to focus more on the running game.
The foot injury that caused Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner to miss the second half of the win over Iowa was turf toe. He is listed as day-to-day but he is questionable at best to play this weekend. This isn't good news. Turf toe can linger for weeks and for a player that depends on his speed that can be debilitating injury. Don't expect to see him back at full strength for about a month. The junior wide receiver has 14 catches for 284 yards and one touchdown this season.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner is not expected to play in the second half due to a foot injury. No details on the extent of the injury. Tough break for his owners as they only got two catches for 48 yards out of their star wideout. He was walking gingerly on the sidelines so make sure he practices next week before counting on him next weekend.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner will practice today after missing the second half of Saturday's win over The Citadel with a shoulder stinger. He is expected to be in the starting lineup this weekend against Iowa. Not having Criner would have been a huge loss for the Wildcats and his fantasy owners. Feel free plug him into your lineups as his removal from last week's game was just precautionary.
Arizona running back Nic Grigsby had 11 carries for 107 yards and three touchdowns in the win over The Citadel. He added two catches for nine yards. He finished his day with a 62-yard touchdown run on the third play of the third quarter. He has shown he is healthy early on this season and could be poised for another 1,000 yard rushing season with double-digit scores.
Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner recorded two catches for 60 yards before leaving the game with a minor shoulder injury. He is expected to play next week. And his owners can now exhale. Criner has shown that he is going to be a big part of the Wildcats offense this year and should challenge for top honors amongst fantasy receivers in the conference.
Arizona quarterback Nick Foles was efficient again in leading the Wildcats to victory. He completed 17 of 22 passes for 214 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Foles did all of his damage in the first half except for a seven yard completion on the opening drive of the third quarter. He is off to a fine start this season but is still probably in the second tier of signal callers in the conference fantasywise.
Arizona running back Greg Nwoko rushed seven times for 72 yards and two touchdowns in the win over The Citadel. All of his action came in the second half. Keola Antolin (two carries for two yards and four catches for 53 yards) is clearly the backup to Nic Grigsby but keep an eye on Nwoko for next season. He is built like a linebacker (6-foot-2 and 228 pounds) and could provide a nice compliment to Antolin.
