Losses are not supposed to leave you feeling good, but the aftermath of Arizona’s season-opening 34-30 defeat at the hands of the USC Trojans has done exactly that.
Such is life when the program was predicted to be among the very worst in the conference after losing its final seven games of the previous season by an average of nearly three touchdowns per contest.
Even the most optimistic of Wildcats fans did not expect the team to really compete against the more-talented Trojans, and even those with the most belief in the team likely did not expect to see them have a late lead and chance to pull off the upset.
