If they’re going to pull off an upset or two during this gauntlet of games against ranked opponents, the Arizona Wildcats will have to play better defense.
The Wildcats were hoping to replicate what went down in Tempe on a crisp fall night in Tucson. So were their fans. The announced attendance was 50,800 – Arizona’s first home sellout since 2015.
Bo Nix completed 20 of 25 passes for 265 yards, at one point hitting on 14 throws in a row. He also ran for 70 yards. The transfer from Auburn had a pair of rushing touchdowns in the third quarter as Oregon expanded its lead from 28-13 to 49-13. The ease with which Oregon dispatched Arizona showed just how far the Wildcats have to go to match the league’s elite programs. Arizona is unquestionably improved in Year 2 under Jedd Fisch; the Wildcats already have won more games than they did last season. But they clearly need more playmakers on defense.
The Ducks then went to work, exploiting the biggest mismatch in the game — their rushing attack vs. the Wildcats’ run defense. The Ducks needed just seven plays to go 90 yards. Nix’s 39-yard pass to Kris Hutson — a play-action bomb to the post set up by the ground attack — moved the ball to the 2. Nix ran it in from there to make it 14-3 with 12:01 left in the half.
