What seems like the most anticipated Arizona season in recent memory is finally about to begin, as the Wildcats will open the 2021 campaign on Saturday night against the BYU Cougars at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Kickoff Classic is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. MST and will be shown on ESPN.
Arizona is riding a 12-game losing streak, the longest in program history, and was 0-5 during the COVID-shortened 2020 season. BYU is coming off an 11-1 season, its most wins since 2009.
The UA holds a 12-11-1 edge over BYU in the all-time series, but the Cougars have won three of the last four including the first two legs of this 3-game series.
