The word from Mike Stoops on Monday is that no starting quarterback has yet been named for Saturday at Washington State...Could be Willie Tuitama who has been cleared for contact...Could be Adam Austin...Could be Kris Heavner...We'll know more by the mid week I would say...And BTW...The Cougars snuck into the AP Top 25 at number 25 this week...Vinnie

Define how you will...But...Mike Stoops says that the Wildcat offensive playbook will be open only about 70 to 75 percent for starting QB Kris Heavner this week...And this could be coach speak...But...Both Stoops and Heavner feel like he has settled in well this week...However I get the vibe that Stoops is concerned about the lack of reps that Heavnver has had thus far over the course of the season...Vinnie

As of this week the UA football team now has a co-offensive coordinator in Dana Dimel to help out Mike Canales with the play calling. Hopefully his expertise as a former head coach and offensive coordinator will help open up the run game. They say two heads are better than one, so now I'm looking forward to seeing SOME positive results this weekend since Stanford is THE WORST team in all of Div 1-A football when it comes to defending the run...

Didn't see the paper this morning but heard from B Nash that Dana Dimmel has been named Co-Offensive Coordinator with the Wildcats...Currently in the middle of his first year with UA...Interesting move halfway through the season...We're trying to get some video of his head coaching days at Houston to show what kind of offense he ran...Hopefully we'll have that tonight on the Sports Force...Vinnie
