Shame Watch: Arizona 70, Idaho 0

Idaho came down to Tempe on Saturday tied for the nation's longest overall losing streak (10 games) and also the longest losing streak against I-A opponents (16 games). They did nothing to indicate these trends will change. Arizona's 35 point second quarter put the game out of reach pretty quickly. It was the Wildcats first shutout since 1996, and it was their most lopsided win since 1921's 74-0 win over the Texas College of Mining and Metallurgy (now UTEP).

The Wildcats scored rushing touchdowns of 1, 1, 2, 3, and 5 yards, plus passing touchdowns of 3, 5, 7 and 12 yards. Then there was the odd play of a Wildcat dropping a punt only to see his teammate pick it up and run for an 87-yard touchdown. Idaho converted only 1 of 12 third downs. Total yardage: Arizona 521, Idaho 112. (On the positive side, their 64 yards rushing were 64 more than Clemson managed against Alabama.)

Sophomore QB Nathan Enderle was 10-25 for only 48 yards. It was his tenth career game, but it was the sixth in which he has thrown three or more interceptions. Backup Quin Ashley threw only two passes--one was incomplete while the other was intercepted.

Next week, the Vandals return home and welcome I-AA Idaho State next week. Idaho State lost to Boise State 49-7 on Saturday.
