Arizona is sitting at 0-3 heading into Pac-12 play this weekend, and the Wildcats will have to regroup after a surprising 21-19 loss to FCS opponent Northern Arizona. UA will open conference play against the top team in the league, Oregon. The Ducks will host Arizona Saturday night in Eugene, and it will certainly be a monumental task for the Wildcats to pull off an upset.

UA is currently in the midst of a 15-game losing streak with new head coach Jedd Fisch still searching for his first victory.
