It can be funny how much emphasis people will put on an individual game, especially one early in the season.
Granted with so few games to be played and a wonky postseason system in college football, every game carries a level of importance not found in other sports. But still, early-season games rarely cause the emotional swings that they do, especially when they are of the non-conference variety.
Yet, the Arizona Wildcats’ season-opening loss to Hawaii led to some harsh — and not unreasonable — reactions. Following a comfortable win over NAU, the Wildcats have a chance to not only redeem themselves, but potentially salvage their season.
