The Arizona Wildcats dispatched woeful Washington State with ease. Now comes the hard part for the No. 21 Wildcats. Travis Cobb returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown to set the tone for Arizona in a 48-7 rout of the Cougars on Saturday. The victory, combined with Oregon's loss at Stanford, moves the Wildcats (6-2, 4-1 Pac-10) within a half-game of the first-place Ducks.

Though it seemed like a long shot to most outsiders, WSU coach Paul Wulff insisted in the preseason that his team's goal this year was to make it to a bowl game.

But that's a goal that has to be altered now as the Cougars fell to 1-7 with Saturday's loss to Notre Dame, making WSU one of just nine teams eliminated from bowl contention by the end of October.

So that leaves the Cougars to play the role of spoiler as they head into the last third of the season, which begins with a game Saturday at surging Arizona.

It loomed as a tough matchup for the Cougars but is even more now that the Wildcats are right in the thick of the Pac-10 race with just one loss and coming off a bye weekend.

Asked his concerns about the Wildcats, Wulff said "Their speed at their...

Frequently part of college football's jet set, Notre Dame will give the term new meaning when it leaves behind the Golden Dome and heads to the Alamodome. "It's a different feeling going to play a home game away from Notre Dame," tailback Armando Allen Jr. said. The 25th-ranked Fighting Irish (5-2) will face Washington State (1-6) in San Antonio on Saturday, the first offsite home...
