Arizona is looking to build on a dominant 38-20 season-opening win at San Diego State as it returns to Tucson this weekend for its 2022 home debut.
The Wildcats (1-0) are preparing to host Mike Leach and Mississippi State (1-0) this Saturday, and it will be the first matchup between UA and the Bulldogs in school history.
