Arizona’s offensive line helped it to the ninth-ranked passing offense and the 22nd-best overall offense last season, and depth and flexibility was a major key.
The Wildcats were in a similar situation two days before their opening game of when true freshman Raymond Pulido, expected to start at right guard, got into a bike accident and was unable to play. Thankfully, senior Sam Langi was ready to step into the starting lineup.
Langi has been in this position before. Last year for UA he filled in at left tackle for an injured Jordan Morgan twice and also made a start in place of left guard for Josh Donovan.
