Tucson will be center stage for the college football world for the first time in the Rich Rodriguez era, and it couldn’t have come at a better time for the Wildcats. No. 16 Arizona is under the microscope this week and ESPN’s College GameDay is making its way back to the Old Pueblo for the first time since 2009, when the Wildcats had the chance against Oregon to control their own destiny to the Rose Bowl.
The last time Arizona hosted College GameDay, the crew left a bad taste in Arizona fans’ mouth when Lee Corso put Oregon’s mascot’s headgear on.
