Arizona is coming off its bye week and heads into its game against No. 11 Oregon State with momentum on the Wildcats side. In UA's last game, it had arguably its best performance of the season against then-No. 19 Washington State, dismantling the Cougars with a commanding 44-6 victory.
The quarterback question looms large as the Wildcats prepare for this pivotal game. While the starting signal caller remains officially unannounced, all signs point to Noah Fifita, given his consistent and outstanding performances throughout the last few weeks.
Arizona is 13-7 at home against Oregon State, and 11-9-1 on the road against the Beavers. The Wildcats' last victory in the series occurred with a convincing 35-14 win in Corvallis on Sept. 22, 2018, while their most recent home victory dates back to Nov. 11, 2017, when they secured a dominant 49-28 win.
Arizona also has the longest win streak in this series, spanning an impressive 12 consecutive victories from 1971 to 1988.
