I'm not going to bore you with defense of B.J. Denker, mostly because I've been on his bandwagon since the NAU game. People out there are going to hate, but don't expect to hear a lot of it until the next time Denker looks a little frazzled.
My mindset is we didn't lose, we just ran outta time. We never gave up. Proud of my brothers. This is the turning point. #BearDown

Still super confused why Daniel Jenkins isn't out there more though. 1 carry for 11 yards tonight....really? He's better than a good chunk of the receiving corps. Why not have your best weapons out on the field at all times.
Anyways, here's a look at some stats from the USC game.
QB Comparison
Comp-Att | Yards | YPA | TD | INT | |
B.J. Denker | 28-44 | 363 | 8.3 | 4 | 0 |
Cody Kessler | 15-30 | 297 | 9.9 | 2 | 0 |
Rushing Comparison
USC: 249 yards on 45 attempts
Arizona: 145 yards on 33 attempts
Attempts | Yards | YPC | TD | |
Ka'Deem Carey | 21 | 138 | 6.6 | 0 |
Silas Redd | 19 | 80 | 4.2 | 0 |
Arizona Receivers
Rec | Yds | Avg | TD | |
Terrence Miller | 6 | 76 | 12.7 | 0 |
Garic Wharton | 2 | 73 | 36.5 | 2 |

Samajie Grant | 6 | 33 | 5.5 | 0 |

Some pretty good looking offensive stats, right? Too bad the defense reverted to its 2012 self, and the special teams, were once again, quite special.
