Arizona is preparing for another showdown against a ranked foe, as it will host No. 19 UCLA in its highly anticipated homecoming game this weekend. This matchup marks a historic moment for the Wildcats as they have achieved back-to-back ranked victories for the first time since the 2014 season. Now, the Cats set their sights on a historic third consecutive ranked win, which would be a first in the program's history.
In Arizona's previous games against ranked opponents, it has routed then-No. 19 Washington State with a decisive 44-6 victory on the road and returning from a bye week narrowly defeated then-No. 11 Oregon State 27-24 at home. The Bruins now represent the continuation of an astonishing five-game stretch against top-ranked foes.
