Stanford vs. Arizona: Tweets of the game

Think of this as an oral history of this weekend’s game. It is much shorter and much, much more enjoyable than the game itself.

The Stanford Cardinal may have killed the Arizona Wildcats on the field this weekend, but Arizona still killed it on Twitter. Let’s take a look at how Twitter told the story of this week’s blowout.

We outchea gunning for as many good wins as UW has http://pic.twitter.com/LtWiS2p6Zf

The defense stepped up early on.

Stanford just had an eight-man offensive line and rushed for a four-yard loss

Sack by Jake Matthews/Tellas Jones leads to third-and-12 incomplete pass. Arizona getting the ball back again. Two straight stops.

— Michael Lev (@MichaelJLev) October 30, 2016

Arizona’s pass rush is working because this is the Upside Down from Stranger Things and Stanford can’t block Arizona.

— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) October 30, 2016

But the offense didn’t.

Samajie Grant spins and fights after contact on his first carry, gets 2 yards. Cats going nowhere. Dueling three-and-outs.

If you like good QB play, this game probably isn't for you

— Ryan Kelapire (@RKelapire) October 30, 2016

And Arizona and Stanford have combined for 72 yards in the first quarter https://t.co/ZwTmXSvwkD

The game dragged.

First quarter took 37 minutes because FS1 has very important commercials that need to be seen.

— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) October 30, 2016

The FS1 announcing crew for this game makes me feel like I've sustained multiple concussions

It's almost 9 p.m. and the second quarter is about to start.

— Justin E. Spears (@JustinESports) October 30, 2016

Once Stanford broke the seal, it was probably over.

And there it is. C Mac. Burst.

— Zach Clark (@ZachEClark) October 30, 2016

That TD run was for more yards than Stanford had in the entire first quarter

— AZ Desert Swarm (@azdesertswarm) October 30, 2016

The Samajie Grant-at-running-back experiment suffered a few setbacks.

Fifty yard loss. Ish.

— Zach Clark (@ZachEClark) October 30, 2016

Who should Arizona try next at running back?

— Anthony Gimino (@AGWildcatReport) October 30, 2016

While Christian McCaffrey remembered that he’s Christian McCaffrey.

In other news Christian McCaffrey is torching AZ in the early going.

And everything just kept going wrong for the Wildcats.

The ole throw an interception then recover the fumble for a first down play. Just like they drew it up.

— Ryan Kelapire (@RKelapire) October 30, 2016

Stanford and Arizona are both looking around like "what the hell did we just even do"

— Michael Felder (@InTheBleachers) October 30, 2016

Rich Rod's face here pretty much says it all http://pic.twitter.com/aAvvbe7QUZ

The Wildcats still had a shot entering halftime.

As bad as that half was, Arizona is only down 17-7 and gets the ball to start the half.

— Jason Scheer ★★★★★ (@JasonScheer) October 30, 2016

Though the fans didn’t seem to think so.

Zona Zoo cleared out a bit at halftime http://pic.twitter.com/Pl6sfhN2OZ

Girl yawning on the Dance Cam. I'm totally with you.

The nice thing about UA football attendance being down is the internet works much better. I think I could try turning wifi back on

— James Kelley (@jameskelley520) October 30, 2016

Anu Solomon showed up.

Anu Solomon about to make his first appearance since week one.

— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) October 30, 2016

OMG this is just like the Willie Tuitama moment.

— Jason Scheer ★★★★★ (@JasonScheer) October 30, 2016

At the end of the day, we have now down a full circle and are back with Anu Solomon at quarterback. What a time.

— Justin E. Spears (@JustinESports) October 30, 2016

Briefly.

No Arizona quarterback is going to be successful behind this offensive line.

— Ryan Kelapire (@RKelapire) October 30, 2016

Anu then fumbles and Stanford recovers. I think this experiment is over. No idea why it existed in the first place.

— Jason Scheer ★★★★★ (@JasonScheer) October 30, 2016

Braxton Burmeister is probably in the stands smiling right now, thinking about how he can win the job as a true freshman.

There’s still reason for hope.

Not sure whether this is the worst UA team since 2004 (Stoops hired) or 2011 (Stoops fired). Oddly enough, both of those teams beat ASU.

— Shane Dale (@ShaneDaleABC15) October 30, 2016

But learn this from Tomey era: Patience required. Tomey 4-7 5th season in '91. Year later, Desert Swarm born. 7 years later, 12-1 season.

— Javier Morales (@JavierJMorales) October 30, 2016

And we’ll always have Abraham Lincoln.

Congrats to the @ZonaZooOfficial costume contest winner! #BearDown http://pic.twitter.com/isuQHUanL5

— Arizona Athletics (@AZATHLETICS) October 30, 2016

But for now: Bear down, Arizona.

Live look in on Arizona's season http://pic.twitter.com/sfHdGktWA2
