The Arizona Wildcats have been blessed with great health on defense this season, with five players starting all 10 games and 21 defenders appearing in at least nine contests including everyone who has been in the starting lineup.
That personnel consistency hasn’t translated to successful performance, however. Arizona (4-6, 2-5 Pac-12) ranks last in the Pac-12 in total defense, scoring defense and defending the pass.
The Wildcats are also worst in the league in allowing long scrimmage plays, giving up 170 that have gone at least 10 yards, 59 of 20 or more yards and 30 of 30-plus yards.
