Much like the NBA and MLB All-Star breaks don’t come at the exact midpoint of their sports’ respective seasons, Arizona’s bye doesn’t evenly split its season. But it’s still the perfect time to take a step back and evaluate how the team is performing to this point.
All in all, it’s been pretty darn good. The UA is 4-3 overall, 2-2 in Pac-12 play, and is coming off a 38-point win at No. 19 Washington State for its biggest conference road win in 40 years. Two more wins over the final five contests will mean bowl eligibility for the first time since 2017.
