Before Arizona even played a game this season, expectations were all over the map. A productive offseason was set to give way to a pretty rough schedule, and it was fair to wonder if the Cats would surpass the 2.5 wins the oddsmakers predicted.
Six games into — or halfway through — the season and the over has already paid out.
Jedd Fisch’s team is 3-3, with a 1-2 mark in the Pac-12. It’s a perfectly average record, though that mark in some ways belies how the team has performed.
Arizona has won comfortably twice, lost by multiple scores thrice and otherwise looked like an improved-but-flawed outfit as it continues on with the toughest part of its schedule.
