Defense responds to Mac Duff's challenge, gets after QBs

Football coach John Mackovic had a message to deliver to his offense Saturday, and it wasn't one of praise or approval.

It was more like a message of complete frustration.

"My disappointments are on offense - after we have been at it this long, we should not be doing the things we are doing," Mackovic said. "I don't think we competed the way that we need to compete to be an effective offense at this level, and that is disappointing."

Mackovic, who was clearly irritated by the offense during and after practice, ran a few extra plays to give the Wildcats more work. UA ran a total of 128 plays.
