When I think of Arizona football, I think of defense that’s mediocre at its best and sieve-like at worst. Just real bad, Scooby Wright notwithstanding. But from what we’ve seen in 2020 — even if it’s just been one game — that might be starting to change. Sure, they’re still an offensive football team first and foremost, and it’s not like any of their defensive units are overpowered or anything, but it looks like they’re at least making progress in the right direction of getting a more complete team.
So if there’s one thing to remember going into Saturday, it’s that you need to forget your past notions of Arizona’s defense.
