The temperature starts to cool off in Tucson once the calendar turns to October, making it more possible to play college football games during the day.
The next game at Arizona Stadium will still be at night, but not nearly as late.
Arizona’s Pac-12 home opener against the Colorado Buffaloes has been scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. PT start, with the game being shown on Pac-12 Network.
The Wildcats, who open conference play at Cal on Saturday, have lost two straight to Colorado including last year’s ugly 34-0 setback in Boulder. Both teams are much different this time around, with the UA having already doubled its win total from 2021 while the Buffaloes head into their Pac-12 opener against UCLA at 0-3.
