Arizona football notebook: On split-squad practices, gray jerseys and an official name change

Arizona’s split-squad practices now have an origin story.

For the second consecutive practice day the Wildcats broke their squad in two, with half the team going for three hours on Wednesday morning and the other half doing the same that evening. In between every player took part in a one-hour walkthrough, enabling everyone to get their maximum four hours of field time.

Meanwhile, the coaches spent seven total hours either on the Dick Tomey Practice Fields or inside the Davis Sports Center.

“The players, they’re really doing a heck of a job learning, getting better, improving,” head coach Jedd Fisch said following the evening practice.
