Hopefully this game won't take 4+ hours like the NM game did due to the inept big12 officiating crew.

Arizona football did not convert a third down vs. The NAU Lumberjack.

Pretty ugly offensive output.  I guess it's ideal to get the sloppy game out of the way, when we're playing the FCS opponent. 

Fortunately, our defensive was stellar.  NAU was a combined 4 of 14 on 3rd/4th downs, didn't hit 200 total yards of offense, only had 4.4 YPA in the air and 2.9 YPA on the ground. 

Outside of Giddens' 51 yard rush against Tulane, K-State's rushing game was pretty weak against an undersized Tulane defense.  I think Friday's outcome depends on whether we can contain Avery Johnson from making big passes downfield.  Our offense will be playing "angry"...
