Bug opens up a keg of worms at Alamo Bowl



When the Wildcats' Bug Wright fumbled away a first-quarter punt return, he pretty much set the tone for what was to come as Arizona fell to Oklahoma State, 36-10, at the Valero Alamo Bowl tonight in Austin.

Arizona coach Mike Stoops watched from the sidelines, in agony once again, as the Wildcats turned the ball over four times and collected their share of annoying penalties enroute to their fifth straight loss of the season. The agony for Stoops and the Arizona football fans is finally over for 2010. Two months without a win, after accumulating seven wins during the months of September and October, the Wildcats finish a disappointing 7-6, but they went down kicking.

If the end of the Arizona-Arizona State rivalry game wasn't enough, Stoops continued to make the decision to have Alex Zendejas attempt field goals, instead of relying on the arm of Nick Foles. The result: Zendejas, mired in a late-season slump, misses two of three attempts. The two misses looked like they were heading in the direction of Tucson, instead of the goal posts. Frustrating! As for dropped passes, why even go there? Oh well, better luck next year.
