The Arizona Wildcats have gotten off to a 1-0 start to the 2023 season thanks to a 38-3 home win over NAU last weekend. The road gets much tougher this week, as the UA visits Mississippi State on Saturday night.
Arizona hasn’t beaten an SEC team since 1976, and doesn’t have a road win over a team from that conference in its history. The Wildcats’ last true road win over a nonconference victory over a power-conference team came in 1994, against Georgia Tech, and since then they’ve dropped eight such games.
Mississippi State is also 1-0, having beaten SE Louisiana 48-7 in its opener.
