What happened
A week after misery sat at 75, Arizona beat Northern Illinois 42-17 and the board exhaled. The turning point was the quarterback stacking a passing day on top of what one fan called "top passer and the longest TD run of his career. Back to back. Wild." At 2-1, nobody mistook this for a statement, but nobody wanted to argue either. The week's most upvoted post wasn't about football at all — a fan announcing he leaves Monday for the Peace Corps, "living the dream." Timing is everything.
