The Arizona Wildcats failed to pick up a victory during nonconference play, losing twice at home despite being favored in both games, to extend their skid to 15 games.
And it doesn’t get any easier.
The UA (0-3) opens Pac-12 play Saturday night at No. 3 Oregon, throwing a team still searching for its offensive identity—and that coveted first victory—into about as close as a no-win situation as imaginable. The Wildcats opened as 27-point underdogs, with the line increasing to 28.5, which would be the largest spread they’ve faced since closing as 37.
