Wildcats kick themselves in the foot!

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: There was enough blame to go around at Arizona Stadium tonight.

The choices by the Arizona coaching staff left a lot to be desired. But in the end, no matter what excuse the Wildcats want to use, the final score remains the same as Arizona falls in double overtime to the Arizona State Sun Devils, 30-29. The players left the field exhausted and so did the Arizona fans.

Arizona fumbled the ball away twice (one was overturned) and had two extra points blocked. Nick Foles was Nick Foles as he passed for 262 yards and three touchdowns, but Arizona's offensive coordinator, Seth Littrell, went to the running game time and time again when the game was on the line -- in regulation and in the two overtimes.

The idea was to establish the run and run over the Sun Devils' linebacker Vontaze Burfict. The Wildcats never did. In a post game interview, Arizona's head coach Mike Stoops took his share of the blame. Stoops said his choice not to go for a two-point conversion and the win in the second overtime was his. Instead, he went for the tie and Alex Zendejas had his kicked blocked for the second time on the night.

Arizona finishes 7-5 overall and 4-5 in the Pac-10, while the Sun Devils (6-6 overall, 4-5 Pac-10) take home the Territorial Cup.
