Arizona football roster reset: With holes at LB and safety, Wildcats have work cut out on ‘D’

Editor’s note: This is the second in a three-part series examining what might have been and could still be — for Arizona Wildcats football after the Pac-12 postponed the fall season. Today: the defense.

The offseason has brought upheaval to Arizona’s defense — and that was the case even before the coronavirus struck.

In December, Kevin Sumlin put the unit into the experienced hands of Paul Rhoads, a longtime FBS defensive coordinator and former head coach at Iowa State.

The Wildcats brought in Stan Eggen to coach the defensive line and Andy Buh to coach the outside linebackers.
