It'll be "rush hour" in Seattle for the Wildcats



In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: Saturday, Oct. 10...6 o'clock in the morning. It is going to be a long day!

 By the time the Arizona Wildcats and the Washington Huskies square up for the kickoff at Husky Stadium in Seattle a lot will be decided. We will know the outcome of the Oregon vs. UCLA game, the ASU vs. Washington State contest and the Stanford at Oregon State encounter. Somewhere around 10:30 p.m. Arizona time we will know if the Wildcats are to remain a leader in the Pac-10 race or succumb to an also-ran status.

The Wildcats have the horses to get it done and it should be "rush hour" for the Stoops' gang in Seattle. Look for every running back in Mike Stoops' arsenal to get a crack at the Huskies' secondary. The big question mark is how long can Nicolas Grigsby (407 yards in 4 games) stay on the field? Will his shoulder injury put him back on the bench? Keola Antolin, Greg Nwoko and even Nick Booth will all find plenty of holes to run through.

Another question: Will the rushing game be enough to offset the great quarterback play of the Huskies' Jake Locker (1,283 passing and 7 touchdowns)? So many questions...and an entire day...and half of the evening to think about it.

For Arizona fans, this will be one "rush hour" to look forward to.
