Expect to see some new faces on the field for the Arizona Wildcats when they return home Saturday to face Southern Utah.
Some new old faces, actually.
Coach Kevin Sumlin said Monday that “three of our better players” should be making their 2018 season debut, later identifying them as senior left tackle Layth Friekh, senior cornerback Jace Whittaker and sophomore safety Scottie Young Jr.
Friekh missed Arizona’s first two games while serving an NCAA-mandated suspension related to being granted an extra year of eligibility. Young was suspended for the opener against BYU, an extension of his punishment for a domestic violence arrest last fall, and did not play at Houston, while Whittaker has been out with an undisclosed injury.
