Big day for Sooner Sports

Arizona is dominating - in the sense of "giving up lots of yard and losing time of possession 2-1, but scoring on D and special teams" - Oregon on ESPN.

Other thoughts on the Arizona / Oregon game:
Dennis Dixon has hurt his knee on an ugly play. No contact, just a cut and he was down. Dennis is having a great year, and as much as I want the Ducks to lose, I wouldn't wish ill on the kid. I hope he's back next week.

Interesting data elements:
Arizona's record under Stoops for the season, and in November:
2004 3-8 (2-2)
2005 3-8 (2-2)
2006 6-6 (3-1)
2007 4-6 (1-0)
Mike Stoops' Arizona squad is 8-5 in November and 8-23 in other months.

Over that same period, here is Oregon's record under Bellotti
2004 5-6 (0-3)
2005 10-2 (3-0)
2006 7-6 (1-3)
2007 8-1 (1-0)
Oregon is 5-6 in November and 25-9 the other months.

That info is free of charge, folks. And might have been even more insightful BEFORE the game started.
