Arizona football: Saturday night scrimmage an early step in season prep

Lightning from a monsoon that rolled across campus Saturday evening caused the Arizona Wildcats to delay an in-stadium scrimmage preseason scrimmage for about an hour. The practice ended just before 9 p.m., making for a late night but one coach Kevin Sumlin knows he’ll need to get used to.

“We’d be, what, midway through the second quarter?,” Sumlin joked after Arizona ran 115 plays on the turf with varying units, formations and player groupings. “Three weeks from right now.”

It was Arizona’s eighth practice of the preseason and at this point very little about the Wildcats is set.
