UA v. LSU pregame thoughts

"They're (LSU) going to put a lot of pressure on us and we've got to be sure we can handle it," Mike Stoops told espn.com. "No one scores a bunch of points on them."

Yes. LSU will pressure Arizona like a top-10 team should. For the Wildcats to have a chance to win this game, they must run the ball successfully, and be able to sustain drives. If they can keep the defense off the field - allowing them to catch their breath - Arizona can win this game. The defense will have to contain LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell, and - as always - they must prevent game-changing plays.

Said safety Michael Johnson: "We can match up with anybody in the nation."

LSU is ranked #8 in both the Associated Press and USAToday polls.

Note: Arizona recieved six votes in this week's (2) AP top-25 poll.
