It’s been almost a decade since the Arizona Wildcats (3-0) have faced a ranked team during the non-conference season. That will come to an end on Sunday when they face the No. 22 Texas Longhorns (1-1) in Austin.
Arizona last played a non-Pac-12 Top-25 team on Nov. 26, 2010 when it traveled to Cancun, Mexico to play No. 8 Texas A&M. In what was their most successful season under former coach Naya Butts, the Wildcats lost to the Aggies by nine points. They are hoping for more this year.
Texas has certainly shown some vulnerabilities in the early going.
