A football season that started with high expectations has quickly cratered for the Arizona Wildcats, who are 0-2 for the first time since 1981 after falling to BYU and Houston.
The union between quarterback Khalil Tate and new head coach Kevin Sumlin has produced disappointing — and head-scratching — results on the field, while the Wildcats’ young defense has not improved as expected. One could argue it has even taken a step back.
Over 51,000 fans flocked to Arizona Stadium for the opener against BYU, but the UA will be lucky to get anywhere near that number this weekend when it hosts an FCS team in Southern Utah.
