Fresh off its bye week following a dominant win over Washington State, Arizona returns to action this weekend where it takes on No. 11 Oregon State. It is the fourth straight ranked opponent the Wildcats have faced with the second game in that stretch being at home.

"This is a really good team that you go back and you look at the way they finished last year, the way they started this year, how they're playing and for our team to have this opportunity to host them in our stadium is awesome" Arizona coach Jedd Fisch said. "We need to take advantage of that opportunity and sure, it would certainly put you on the map if you go ahead and take care of business and win this game.

That would certainly put Arizona football on the map based upon how we've played the last few weeks and the players understand that."

Here is a look at what to watch for ahead of Saturday's game between Arizona and Oregon State.
