Week one for Arizona Football was disappointing and no one felt it more than the coaches and the players. Marcel Yates got the brunt of the vitriol, as fans called for his firing. A website even popped up, firemarcelyates.com. It called for the return of the Desert Swarm defense and cited the past four years:
- 2016 – 107th (470 YPG)
- 2017 – 112th (463 YPG)
- 2018 – 85th (429.2 YPG)
- 2019 – N/A (595 YDS vs Hawaii)
.The website was not updated after the Cats beat the Red Raiders last Saturday night on ESPN, as the game started at 7:30.
