GAME NOTES: Still looking for their first Pac-12 Conference victory, the Colorado Buffaloes will take on the Arizona Wildcats this Saturday afternoon at Folsom Field.

The Wildcats have endured a nightmare of a season, and because of the lack of success there has already been a coaching change. Arizona has won just two games and since defeating UCLA, the Wildcats have lost three in a row, including a 34-21 setback to Utah this past weekend.

As for the Buffs, their transition to the Pac-12 has not gone well, as the team is winless in six conference games. However, the entire season has been a disaster as the team has just one victory on the year. Since defeating Colorado State, the Buffs have lost seven in a row, including a 42-17 setback to USC this past weekend.

In terms of the all-time series between the two schools, the Buffaloes own a commanding 12-1 edge over Arizona. However, the lone win for the Wildcats came in the last matchup, as they took down Colorado, 24-21.

The Wildcats might only have two wins on the year, but the offense has played well enough to average nearly 30.0 ppg. However, the unit is terribly lop- sided as most of the damage has been done by QB Nick Foles, who has thrown for 3,260 yards and 22 touchdowns. Juron Criner has missed time on the year, but he is clearly Foles' favorite target and comes into this game with 50 receptions, 607 yards and eight scores.

Unfortunately the team has been lacking in the run game, producing just 94.7 ypg. Against Utah the Wildcats were able to claw out 131 yards on 4.1 yards per tote, but once again the offense was paced by Foles, who threw for 326 yards and two touchdowns. However, the quarterback was sacked twice and intercepted twice.

The offense has not been flawless, but it has at least been productive. The same is not true of the defense, which has been abused to the tune of 34.8 ppg. Opponents have been able to beat the Wildcats through the air and on the ground, rushing for 169.4 ypg and 21 touchdowns, while throwing for 282.8 ypg and another 17 scores.

The Utes were not overpowering against Arizona in the team's last matchup, as the defense only surrendered 332 total yards, which is not a horrendous number. However, the Utes did manage to score twice on the ground, while rushing for 133 yards. The defense did not force a turnover and finished with only one sack, and the has been a problem for this unit all season, its inability to force the big plays.

Just like Foles, Tyler Hansen has tried to carry the offense for Colorado, but the quarterback clearly cannot do it all by himself. The quarterback comes into this weekend with 2,279 yards and 16 touchdowns against only six interceptions.

However, the ground game has been miserable and that has really hindered the progress of this unit. Colorado is currently averaging just 94.4 ypg and that comes on an equally poor 3.1 yards per attempt.

Once again the majority of the offensive success rested on the shoulders of Hansen, and even though he threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns, the Buffs were clobbered by USC.

The Colorado defense was simply overpowered by the Trojans, who did whatever they wanted to do. The Buffs allowed 243 yards on the ground and an additional 318 yards through the air and six touchdowns.

Stopping the pass has been a major problem for this defense, which has surrendered 28 passing touchdowns so far. Over the last six games, four teams have eclipsed the 300-yard mark.

The Wildcats might be on the road, but they are clearly the better team, despite only having one more victory. Colorado will score behind the arm of Hansen, but look for Arizona to keep the Buffs winless in league action.
