The Arizona Wildcats won’t be playing football this fall—trust us, it’s not happening—which has left a major hole in fans’ weekend activity schedules for the next few months.
Might we suggest living vicariously through the performances of recently departed players?
Arizona saw a large number of players leave the program after the 2019 season, including a trio of three-year starters during the summer. Of the departees, six are at FBS or FCS schools playing games this fall.
Two of them made their debuts with their new teams on Saturday, both with notable results.
West Virginia’s leading tackler in its 56-10 win over Eastern Kentucky was none other than senior linebacker Tony Fields II, who started all but one game at Arizona from 2017-19.
