Saturday’s 27-point home loss to Oregon exposed many of the same flaws that have plagued Arizona this season, particularly with turnovers and run defense. Fixing those areas, if possible, will be key for the Wildcats to have any chance of pulling off an upset at Washington, which is heavily favored.
But at 3-3 overall and 1-2 in Pac-12 play, the UA is still far ahead of where it was a year ago and has shown the ability to be competitive when it doesn’t make mistakes.
“We know that there’s going to be some lumps that we have to take, and we’re looking forward to the opportunity this week to go play Washington and see how much better we can get,” coach Jedd Fisch said Monday.
