Arizona football countdown: 41 days, and a 41-yard Jared Baker receiving touchdown

Last year's USC game is probably one that most Arizona Wildcats fans want to forget, but there was certainly a bright spot.

Jared Baker was forced to take over at running back, and he made the most of it, scoring three touchdowns, including a great 41-yard reception on a wheel route.

This game gives me hope that Arizona has real depth at running back again this year. Nick Wilson's injury history is well-documented, and there may come a time during Arizona's 12 games in 12 weeks schedule that Jared Baker will have to take over the workload.
