Arizona Wildcats and USC Trojans heading in opposite directions when they meet on Saturday

At the beginning of the year, college football fans, or at least Pac-12 fans, circled this as one of the must-see games of the year.

Arizona, coming off a Fiesta Bowl appearance was returning nearly their entire offense and USC (5-3), finally off probation, was locked, loaded, and positioned for a College Football Playoff birth.

Nine weeks later, Wildcat and Trojan fans have circled this week as a "what kind of a performance will we get tonight?" game.

To be fair, the USC Trojans are slowly trending upwards after wins over then-No.
