In the past, one thing was certain for the Arizona Wildcats: the weekend facing the two teams from the state of Oregon was going to be difficult. That’s also true this year, but the reasons are a bit different.
The Wildcats follow up their big win over the Oregon Ducks with a matchup against an Oregon State Beavers team that is still an enigma. The Beavers came into the season ranked in the Top 20, finally falling out of the polls after their last game—a loss to Washington State.
They were picked to finish fifth in the Pac-12 by both the coaches and the media.
