We don't come to Opening Night for surprises. Mike Stoops has never lost a home opener, and Saturday night increased his streak to seven with a 52-6 win against Div. I-AA The Citadel.
The most unsure moments came before kickoff even started; the Wildcat Walk was wowing, the new player introduction decidedly sexy.
With No. 9 Iowa promising the nation's most important game next week, on-field sanity Saturday was appreciated. The Wildcats rattled off video-game running plays and completed long passes, and The Citadel played the role of cupcake admirably.
By the time a much diminished Arizona Stadium crowd - down from 54,814 - heard the final gun, the game joined the ranks of home openers past.
