We just talked about same, and our list was essentially all the national parks & monuments, maybe a couple museums and navy ships.

Stats aren’t wrong there but you could’ve said the exact same thing last year through 4 games.
21-3 vs North Dakota
20-19 @ Iowa
52-7 vs Arkansas State
20-0 vs Houston
With that being said I’m hopeful we see the offense click like it did last year.
Exactly, we like the museums and ships too, which are usually what pulls us into a city for a day or two, but then we get out of the city as quick as possible to see the country.
I have never been to L.A., and after spending a long time looking at things to do there, I think there are only a couple things on the list I care to go to see, and 1 of those is USS Iowa. A day is probably all I care to spend in LA.
Against the exact same opponents we beat last yr, no less! (change out for better FCS)
Wow two yrs in a row, that IS quite the luck, indeed!
I think the key against AZ is going to be hitting on big time plays. They seem very aggressive and attack the ball. This should lead to opportunities with play action or misdirection. Definitely need to connect on those.
Opportunities will be there for the deep ball. Have to hit on those.
Also, Sama breaks a big run
The running game has really been pretty effective all season outside of the first half of the KSU game.
We just didn't lean into it enough against Arkansas State. RBs went for 93 yards at 4.04 YPC against Iowa. 11 yards was the biggest run for either guy, so it was very consistent positive yardage.
On the season, Sama is averaging 4.8 YPC with a long of only (for him) 44 yards. On the season, Hansen is averaging 4.7 YP with a long of 38.
Those numbers indicate steady, consistent, and reliable positive ground yards.

Explosiveness is the biggest thing lacking vs last year. Need to find a way to get it back so you don't have to be mistake-free for 12 plays to score every single time.

That was my impression in the little that I have watched of them. They're going to pressure the line of scrimmage pretty hard, and if you don't burn them for it, you're going to struggle.
Hopefully they haven't mowed it since the Iowa game.This is where that great JTS grass comes in
Gilbert has been injured, that is why we are down to the third string freshman.
I think we should just let the other Jace Gilbert kick off...
Anytime you are essentially down to singles left it is a sellout.
Also 87 tickets is 0.14% of capacity. It's a sellout.

“Every stadium on the road in this conference is a monster,” said Arizona coach Brent Brennan. “Every road game that we play is sold out, everywhere the crowd is all over your (expletive) the moment you get off the bus. It’s just part of playing in this conference.”

The first time I went to Tucson we flew in before the first Insite Bowl and were going to drive from there to Phoenix. We got in late at night and I had the same initial reaction. But then when I got up in the morning and saw the desert and mountains I had a totally different perspective.

Tucson is incredible. Saguaro NP is such an underrated national Park. And some of the "sky island" national Forest hiking/camping areas just south of Tucson are absolutely beautiful.
Phoenix is a concrete hellhole (that's hotter than Tucson)

Yeah, Tucson is awesome. The only thing that sucks about it is how there’s no expressway into the Catalina foothills/Sabino Canyon area so you just sit in stoplights constantly.
The best Mexican food I've ever had was in Tucson in a restaurant in the parking lot behind a car dealership
