Sept. 11 The Citadel (KWBA/FCS) W, 52-6 Some Game Themes: Arizona seeks some answers to a four-game tailspin... UA takes a break from nine Sept. 18 No. 9 Iowa (ESPN) W, 34-27 straight games against Pac-10 opponents to face a national power from the Big 12. The Cats last such contest Sept. 25 California (KWBA/FS AZ Plus) W, 10-9 was a Sept. 18 tilt against No. 9 Iowa in Tucson... The Cats' defense, under siege from Andrew Luck, USC Oct. 9 Oregon State (Versus) L, 29-27 tailbacks and Nike U in recent outings, takes on the national leader in total offense and a host of All-Big 12 Oct. 16 @ Wash. State (Versus) W, 24-7 talent... Can Arizona contain the primary threesome therein -- QB Brandon Weeden, WR Justin Blackmon and Oct. 23 Washington* (ESPN) W, 44-14 RB Kendall Hunter? Can the Cowboys -- near last in FBS pass defense -- contain Arizona QB Nick Foles and All- Oct. 30 @ UCLA (FSN) W, 29-21 Nov. 6 @ No. 10 Stanford (ABC) L, 42-17 Pac-10 receiver Juron Criner? Does anyone want either team to contain either collection of dudes? (No, it's a Nov. 13 USC (ABC) L, 24-21 bowl game.)... The Cats look to win an eighth game for the third consecutive year, modest perhaps against Nov. 26 @ Oregon (ESPN) L, 48-29 OSU's 10-2 campaign, but forward-looking nonetheless... Cowboys placekicker Dan Bailey (24-28) and Arizona's Dec. 2 Arizona State (ESPN) L, 30-29 (2 OT) Alex Zendejas (13-16) combined for 37 field goals in solid fashion so likely there are points to be had if the run- Times local to site BOLD Indicates UA Home Games * Pac-10 Games and-catch fellows don't get it done. Zendejas had some extra-point trouble in the last game but has been good 2010 Arizona Statistical Ranks from distance... Push comes to shove: OSU scored less than 30 points once, Arizona allowed more than 30 Category Stat Pac-10 NCAA twice... The Cats look to keep the Cowboys out of the red zone: OSU brings a 95 percent red-zone rate (vs. 75% for UA), no doubt a function of its balanced attack and 5-yards-a-pop rushing game. Hunter has nearly as Rushing Offense: 135.2 8th 8th many TDs (16) as Arizona's rushing attack (20)... A couple of teams from the changing landscape of college Passing Offense: 310.0 1st 9th football, with UA to begin play next in the Pac-12 and Oklahoma State returning to a 10-team Big 12... A couple Total Offense: 445.2 3rd 23rd of head coaches named Mike with reputations for hot-collar moments... The Cats look to ignore their last game Scoring Offense: 29.8 5th 47th against a Big 12 power (Nebraska 33, Arizona 0, Holiday Bowl last year) and take on this one with deep respect Rushing Defense: 136.7 5th 39th and open minds; have some fun, but don't forget there's a football game... Pass Defense: 206.6 4th 44th Total Defense: 343.3 4th 37th What to Expect From the Cats: Arizona has made its name under Mike Stoops as a team that plays fast and Scoring Defense: 21.6 3rd 33rd fearless, regardless of the opponent. Perhaps no game was better evidence of that mantra than the 34-27 upset Net Punting: 34.1 9th 98th victory over No. 9 Iowa in Tucson in September. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, that game remains the highlight Punt Returns: 6.2 8th 90th of the season despite a 7-1 start that was followed up by four straight losses to quality foes in Stanford, USC, Kickoff Returns: 22.0 4th 58th Oregon and Arizona State. Arizona faltered down the stretch mostly due to its inability to stop the run and its Turnover Margin: 0.00 6th t-53rd failure to capitalize on all of its scoring opportunities. Indeed, three of the final four teams rushed for over 200 Sacks: 2.75 2nd 14th yards and Arizona State still put up over 100 against the Wildcats defense. Meanwhile, UA’s redzone offense Team Statistical Comparison ranks outside the top 100 in the nation, scoring just 75-percent of the time and converting touchdowns just 58- Category Arizona Oklahoma St. percent of the time. That will be challenge against an Oklahoma State squad that doesn’t waste redzone Scoring Avg. 29.8 44.9 opportunities (see 95-percent scoring rate) and is known for flinging the ball around, notably to All-American wide Opponents 21.6 27.8 receiver Justin Blackmon. But OSU’s balance with talented runner Kendall Hunter and his 1,500-plus yards on Rush Yds.

Arizona saw plenty of similarly electric teams down the stretch Pass Yds. Avg. 310.0 354.7 and was unable to stop them in the end (Stanford 42 points, Oregon 48 points). However, perhaps a few weeks Opponents 206.6 275.5 of preparation and healing time will allow the UA defense to get back to its fast, attacking ways from the first half Total Offense Avg. 445.2 537.6 of the season when it rated as on of the nation’s top units.

  • Houston Texans: 2014 Financial Scouting Report
    Houston Texans: 2014 Financial Scouting Report Written By: Jason Fitzgerald, Overthecap.com Date: January 2, 2014 e-mail: [email protected] Introduction Welcome to one of the newest additions to the Over the Cap website: the offseason Financial Scouting Report, which should help serve as a guide to a teams’ offseason planning for the 2014 season. This report focuses on the Houston Texans and time permitting I will try to have a report for every team between now and the start of free agency in March. If you would like copies of other reports that are available please either e-mail me or visit the site overthecap.com The Report Contains: Current Roster Overview 2013 Team Performances Compared to NFL Averages Roster Breakdown Charts Salary Cap Outlook Unrestricted and Restricted Free Agents Potential Salary Cap Cuts NFL Draft Selection Costs and Historical Positions Selected Salary Cap Space Extension Candidates Positions of Need and Possible Free Agent Targets Any names listed as potential targets in free agency are my own opinions and do not reflect any “inside information” reflecting plans of various teams. It is simply opinion formed based on player availability and my perception of team needs. Player cost estimates are based on potential comparable players within the market. OTC continues to be the leading independent source of NFL salary cap analysis and we are striving to continue to produce the content and accurate contract data that has made us so popular within the NFL community. The report is free for download and reading, but if you find the report useful and would like to help OTC continue to grow we would appreciate the “purchase” of the report for just $1.00 by clicking the Paypal link below.
