The football team’s season debut will take place against the Arizona Wildcats on Sept. 9 in Tuscon, Arizona following the cancellation of the Cougars’ previously planned season opener against UTSA.
Arizona was plagued by injuries on offense, uncertainty at the QB position, and lack of size and experience on defense last season. The Wildcats were practically destined for the underwhelming and uncharacteristic 3-9 record they finished with in 2016.
Having regained many of their assets from a year ago, Arizona is presented a golden opportunity to bounce back in 2017. With depth and athleticism across multiple positions, you can expect the Wildcats to give the Cougars all they can handle Saturday night.
