The Arizona Wildcats face a daunting task on Saturday night when they’ll be facing off against the Oregon Ducks in Arizona Stadium. The Ducks are favored by about 10 points in most sportsbooks, and come into the game ranked 19th in the AP Poll.
Nonetheless, there is still a chance for Arizona to pull off the home upset. Here are three keys to the game that will make a Wildcat victory much more likely.
One of the biggest scapegoats for this season’s unexpected failures has been new offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone. Mazzone has failed to adjust his scheme to fit RichRod’s personnel, and it has cost Arizona all season and has effectively stopped one of the most explosive players in college football in quarterback Khalil Tate.
