It was just a passing reference, two words spoken during a half-hour video news conference during which more than 3,000 were uttered. But man, were those two words jarring.
UA coach Kevin Sumlin, speaking to reporters Tuesday, noted that the Wildcats’ season was supposed to start next week. The Wildcats were supposed to face Hawaii at Arizona Stadium on Aug. 29.
That game, as we all know, was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. So was the entirety of the Pac-12 season, even after the schedule was remade.
Instead of fine-tuning the’ game plan for the Rainbow Warriors, Sumlin and his staff have been formulating a plan for the rest of this football-less fall.
