Masoli heroics too much for the Wildcats...

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: With 7:41 left in regulation, Arizona's Juron Criner celebrated in the end zone. The Wildcats' receiver had just hauled in a pass from his quarterback, Nick Foles to complete a beautiful 71-yard play that resulted in a 31-24 lead for the Arizona Wildcats in front of 57,863 screaming fans last night at Arizona Stadium.

Now that is an eternity if you're an Arizona football fan, but if you happen to be Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, then a shade under eight minutes is plenty of time to engineer a comeback and lead his team to the promised land.

Bottom line: Masoli drove the Ducks 80 yards to tie the game with just six ticks left on the clock. Overtime ensued not once but twice, and in the end Masoli was not to be denied as he scampered in from one yard out to give the 11th-ranked Oregon Ducks a 44-41 win.

No Rose Bowl for the Wildcats. Arizona (6-4) will go bowling, but it'll just be on the wrong alleys. In my book, if the Ducks are No. 11 in the country, then the Wildcats should be No. 12. I know it doesn't work that way, but I still love my Wildcats. A missed field goal and a fumble at the goal line. Heck we should have won by 10. Hats off to Masoli and the Ducks...they'll give Ohio State fits. As for the Wildcats, take a collective breath and prepare for the Sun Devils.
