There are only four days until Arizona takes on Colorado during a sold out homecoming weekend and the offense most importantly is focusing on putting a complete product together for Saturday.

Offensive struggles have been the blame for the Wildcats' last two losses and really all three of them to be honest and passing game coordinator Matt Adkins detailed all that the offense is working on in a get right opportunity.

Coach Adkins along with wide receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig and fullback Kayden Luke spoke to the media during Colorado preparation and here are the five takeaways from the press conference.

The key to not finishing drives offensively

In terms of moving the ball, Arizona has come a long way from it's slow efforts displayed in the Kansas State or NAU games as yardage and conversions are developing as the weeks go.

The team is also punting less but the question arrives at why the offense can't reward their drives with points.

"Turnovers and short yardage," Coach Adkins said. "Those are the two things that keep popping up. We can't go to a place like BYU and turn the ball over four times and expect success."

Of course, it was a tough game for quarterback Noah Fifita throwing three interceptions and fumbling the ball but the coaches key to success on sustaining these drives is protecting the ball.

Adkins also believes that the offense not converting second-and-one scenarios for instance is also holding the group back and they need to find ways to allow the offense to claim a new set of downs.
