Before the 2021 season began, the Vegas oddsmakers put Arizona’s win total at 2.5.
The Wildcats finished the season with just one victory, so by that metric it was a failure.
But was it?
Bill Parcells was right when he said you are what your record says you are, and Arizona’s record says it was a bad football team. But that was hardly a surprise.
All along we knew the roster lacked talent, with that issue only being exacerbated by injuries and roster attrition. The team that walked off the Sun Devil Stadium field Saturday evening was not a particularly good one, and in reality it was actually a bad one.
