The Arizona Wildcats entered the 2018 season with lofty expectations, albeit ones that probably weren’t as inflated as those of the fan base. Yet entering the final weekend of October both the team and its supporters face a stark reality: even a bowl game isn’t likely to happen this season.
With a 3-5 overall record, Arizona must win three of its last four games to become bowl-eligible. Three of those contests are at home, beginning with Saturday’s visit from Oregon (5-2), but the Wildcats’ 2-2 mark at Arizona Stadium is an indication that they haven’t had much of a home field advantage.
