Can it be Homecoming every week?
Maybe it was the presence of many members of the 1998 Arizona team, the best in school history, who were honored during halftime Saturday night. Maybe it was because the Oregon Ducks, having just played horribly in the first half of a loss at Washington State last week, came to Tucson lacking confidence.
Or maybe the Arizona Wildcats really aren’t that bad, though still not really good.
Whatever the reason, the 44-15 curb-stomping of Oregon felt like Arizona collectively let out all its frustration from a season that began with so much hope but entering the game had started to feel hopeless.
