SALT LAKE CITY — The Arizona Wildcats have been a thorn in Utah's side for much of its tenure in the Pac-12, particularly the last three years.
Throughout Utah's ups and downs in conference play, the Wildcats have been an unfriendly foe, a frustratingly difficult opponent. And much of that has to do with the explosive rushing attack against the Utes — a traditionally stout run defense team.
In the last three games between the two programs, for which Arizona has been the victor, the Wildcats average 306 rushing yards per game. In Utah's only win against the Wildcats since joining the conference, Utah's defense held Arizona to 131 rushing yards.
