Not only were the Arizona Wildcats the worst defensive team in the Pac-12 last season, they were also the worst on special teams.
How bad did things get?
They were 10th in the conference in field-goal percentage (58.8%) and dead last in punting average (38.8 yards per punt). Those kicking woes, which have hindered the Wildcats for two years now, put even more stress on an offense and defense that already had enough problems as it is.
“Obviously last season we were very disappointed in how we finished the season,” said special teams coach Jeremy Springer.
