Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli lead City College of San Francisco to the state title last year. Receiver Terence Scott was a handful for both local programs at College of the Canyons. Punter Tim Taylor is a transfer from Santa Barbara City.

Arizona coach Mike Stoops spoke this week about his team's 31-10 win at UCLA last weekend:

"Really pleased with the way we played at UCLA. We just kind of roughed the game out and won pretty easily, could have scored a couple more touchdowns.

"We thought UCLA, with their offensive problems, would have trouble moving the ball consistently. We felt good about our matchup all the way through that game.

"Offensively, they're obviously searching for some playmakers. They've got some guys banged up. Defensively, I thought hey played a much better defensive game. They put some pressure on our offense."
