Man, with Dixon on top of his game for the first two drives it looked like Oregon was going to walk away with it. Then he left injured bringing in Leaf, and it was like watching an entirely different team. Granted Leaf was playing with a bad ankle, but his performance was so poor I felt as though they should have pulled him too and gone with their third string QB. Overall an extremely ugly second half to watch, and a disappointing setback for a great Oregon season, but you've got to be impressed with Arizona for playing their hearts out and coming out with a huge upset win.
It was sad to see a Dixon get hurt, he's one of the best athletes in the country. But I'm a Sooner fan so I'm glad Mike pulled off the upset. I'm just wondering does the craziness of this season end here? I'm hoping my sooners can win out and make it to the NC game but I have a bad feeling about these final few games.

I was there, as far as the fans were concerned, it was the craziest thing I've ever seen. The entire game was loud.
