University of Arizona

The whole school of Arizona took a huge blow this week with the loss of the legend Lute Olson. He has been at the school for 24 seasons and led the basketball team to one National Championship and four Final Fours. The basketball program lost a key asset to the future of the team because Lute Olson, being the Hall of Famer he is, got top recruits to go to University of Arizona to play for him. Now that he retired the school will most likely lose top recruits that he pulled in from all over the country. This will end up hurting the whole program and wouldn't be surprising if the school goes from an elite to a mediocre team because the school won't be able to bring in top recruits anymore.

Before this all happened in the middle of the week, the entire school was looking forward to the football game that is coming up on Saturday. This is going to be the biggest game of the year for the Wildcats against the fifth ranked USC Trojans at home. They can make a huge statement to the College Football world if they can beat the Trojans, just like last year when they upset the number 2 ranked and undefeated Oregon Ducks. The Zona Zoo will be going nuts to cause a commotion to stir up the USC offense and make their team have home field advantage when they go for the upset. The game is on at 10:15 pm Eastern time on Saturday on all the FSN channels.

Who do you think will win the game? Should there be an upset alert for this game?
