Arizona football needs to protect the ball, 'do more' on defense vs. UCLA in Pac-12 opener

Skip to main content

The Arizona Wildcats ought to be feeling pretty good about themselves entering their Pac-12 opener against UCLA.

The UA is coming off its best performance of the season — a stirring 28-14 victory over Texas Tech. The Cats ought to be well rested after having last week off. The Bruins, meanwhile, were playing until 11:27 p.m. last Saturday in Pullman, Washington (although, as the final scoreboard showed, it was well worth it).

Of course, a team feeling good about itself can be its own problem.
