Arizona has lost some good people, and they play a tough schedule ? probably the toughest in the (conference). They have to dip. With the rest of the (conference) being a bit better, it's understandable to lose a few more games.

They're going to bury us in the sand.

It's not a big secret that I've been leaning that way. Everybody around here wanted me to wait until the end of the season to make sure. And I think it's time for a change. I knew these three years were going to be difficult, and that's the only thing I've been right on about.

I thought it should have come sooner. I'm glad it came when it did.

I think reality has set in. We knew we had to play well in order to foster those hopes. We played OK against Oregon State, and we just got dominated by Oregon. It hurt to play like that. That's what happens when you are not a good team. Our hopes were higher, but what has happened was not unexpected.
good grow maybe next perhaps played poor replace seniors sometime team three
You can't automatically replace three seniors with three sophomores and say you're better. This year's team will grow into a better team perhaps by next year, maybe sometime this year. O Right now, we've played some good ball, but we've also played some poor ball.
bad maybe
We got him into a bad situation, maybe a travel.
