Tony Amato has only had one week to coach up his team, but its foundation is already set.
“Listen, this team competes,” the Arizona head coach said Saturday after its Red-Blue scrimmage. “There’s no question about that. They’re fit, they compete, they work really hard. All the little things we gotta get a lot better at, but the foundation of that competitiveness is awesome and we saw that tonight.”
Amato proudly announced to fans in attendance that this is the fittest team he has ever had, citing its fitness scores and the fact that every player passed the dreaded beep test.
