Las Vegas Bowl Result:

Arizona 31, BYU 21

Las Vegas Bowl Summary: This is why I love college football, folks. Going into the game, no one was sure how it would end up, but everyone was certain of one thing: these teams were going to fight. And they were right. Arizona quarterback Willie Tuitama, who has been flying under the radar, had an amazing game. The best part? The very last play of the game was a 3-yard flip to Arizona’s Mike Thomas. With that pass, he set the Pac-10 career receptions record. BYU could have made that pass difficult to been offended of a passing play at the last minute…but the were good sports, celebrating in Thomas’ record as much as everyone else. Arizona didn’t play perfectly, and there were definitely some questionable review calls, but overall, what a great bowl.

Overall Records: Arizona 8-5, BYU 10-3

2008 Week 11: Blogging about the Pac-10

Their 59-28 win over Washington State is no surprise, of course (WSU is now 1-9), but with tonight’s win, Arizona became eligible for a bowl game for the first time in a decade.

You can read about the game here, but that’s not the real story. How they won isn’t as important as the simple fact that they won. No school deserve to go year after year without a bowl. Even though we’ve often heard that bowl games can be really expensive for smaller schools (they have to sell tickets or pay for them, plus pay for travel, putting many schools in the hole), it is just good for team spirit. Whether you win or lose, it is about pride – making it to a game of importance. To not even have that chance in over 10 years…sucks.

So congrats, Arizona. With a record of 6-3, you may not be a top-ranked team, but you may finally get your bowl.
