Fire out...Wind hobbled...Earth moves...

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: A few weeks back a lot of preseason hype hit the media outlets regarding the Arizona Wildcats' 2009 football team.

Personally, I guess, you'd have to say this blog was just as guilty as the others as I picked up on the humorous report out of the Wildcats' locker room regarding Earth, Wind and Fire, the temporary nickname issued to a trio of running backs--Keola Antolin, Greg Nwoko and Nic Grigsby.

Antolin the "Wind" is now hobbled with a leg injury and Grigsby,  the "Fire" who came out smokin' with 400 yards rushing in the Wildcats' first three games, has now fizzled and is out indefinitely after he went down with a shoulder injury, following his only carry in Arizona's 37-32 win at Oregon State last Saturday. But it looks like Nwoko, the "Earth," finally got his opportunity to do his thing as he accounted for 120 all-purpose yards (44 rushing and 76 on pass receptions) at Corvallis to help lead the Wildcats to their third win of the season, and more importantly, a Pac-10 win on the road.

Kwoko, a freshman tailback, supported quarterback Nick Foles debut as a Wildcats' starter by hauling in four passes at Corvallis, including a 52-yard completion -- and he also recorded a 19-yard, second-quarter rushing TD, his first of the year.

Wildcat note: Thank goodness for a bye week. The injuries are mounting for the Wildcats. Rob Gronkowski is  out for the season. My favorite, Bug Wright, out with a knee injury. Grigsby and Antolin missed entire second half at Corvallis with leg injury. Brooks Reed out with an ankle sprain.

The list goes on...
