Arizona Football kickoff is officially less than one week away. What head coach Jedd Fisch says is likely to turn things around after last years 38-14 loss to San Diego State.
The Arizona Wildcats are set to kickoff their regular season opener at San Diego State's new home turf, Snapdragon Stadium, this Saturday.
That caution likely stems from last seasons home loss to the Aztecs. A tough 38-14 loss began with a 21-point lead in the first quarter by San Diego State."It's a totally different team. You know, they're totally different, we're different. So, what stands out to me is that we didn't play well enough to win last year. I think that they're going to play hard, they're going to play fast, they are going to be physical- that part of the team won't be different.
“We certainly understand the importance of players and this off-season, we’ve really focused in on bringing in a lot of new players, retaining the right players, developing our older players and seeing how good we can be as a team," said Fisch.Some of the new Arizona faces set to debut this Saturday include Washington transfer, Quarterback Jayden De Laura, Oregon Transfer Jacob Cowing and 5-star recruit Tetairoa McMillian.
