It’s officially game week for Arizona, the first of the 2023 season, and the quest for bowl eligibility begins with a familiar foe. Also an infamous one.
In-state rival NAU comes to Arizona Stadium on Saturday night for the first time since 2021 when it shocked the Wildcats 21-19, ending a 79-year drought in the series and extending what would end up being a 20-game skid for the UA.
A lot has changed in just over two years, with Arizona overhauling its roster twice and getting in position to make a bowl for the first time in six years.
