Arizona football notebook: Jacob Manu’s Pac-12 revenge tour, a real defensive rotation, Jedd Fisch’s ‘pitcher-catcher’ relationship with Jayden de Laura

Arizona was the only Pac-12 school that offered Jacob Manu a scholarship. The only FBS program, actually. And just like snubbed NFL players on Draft Day, he plans to remind them of this in the best way possible.

“All these Pac-12 schools that I wanted to get recruited by, I feel like they all underlooked me,” Manu said Tuesday. “That is another chip on my shoulder to do better, and just show them that they’re wrong.”

The true freshman linebacker made his third career start in the 45-37 home loss to USC, whom he said was his dream school growing up in Orange County.
