Nine months after playing its last real game, and almost four weeks since beginning training camp, Arizona can finally see the proverbial sun on the horizon. The 2023 season opener against NAU on Saturday night is just around the corner.
“It’s good that camp is over,” UA coach Jedd Fisch said to open his first weekly press conference of the fall. “It’s good that we’re no longer hitting one another, and we have now an opportunity to be in game week.”
Fisch said he was happy to see college football back on TV last weekend, when a handful of Week Zero games aired including UMass (which has eight ex-Wildcats on former UA defensive coordinator Don Brown’s roster) winning at New Mexico to snap a 24-game road losing streak.
