In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: It could be a hair-raising experience.

I took the rubber band off my morning paper a few hours ago and discovered an article on the sports page with a photo and a short recap of life on the Arizona Wildcats' sideline for third-string quarterback Bryson Beirne.

The six-foot-3-inch, 225 pound junior discusses his Hawaiian roots, his great-grandmother, and his Afro hairstyle with Arizona Daily Star writer Ryan Finley. Does Ryan know something we don't?

Probably, he's got a lot of eyes and ears out there. Of course, it is easy to see that Mr. Stoops is one blind-sided hit away on his ace signal-caller, Nick Foles, from inserting Beirne into the frying pan against USC, Oregon and ASU. With Matt Scott injured, it is not out of the question that we'll see Beirne don his helmet over his Afro and rush on to the field and into a stunned Wildcats' huddle.

It'll definitely be a hair-raising experience!

Wildcats Update: Mr.Beirne wasn't needed. Nic Foles throws for 353 yards and three touchdowns against USC. But, it still wasn't enough as the Wildcats lose, 24-21, to the Trojans at Arizona Stadium.
