Game 3 opponent: Hawaii
When: Sept. 17, 7:45 p.m.
Where: Arizona Stadium
TV: Pac-12 Networks
What to expect: The Wildcats again should be heavily favored. Hawaii is an upgrade from Grambling, but not a significant one. Three media outlets (Athlon, Lindy’s, Campus Insiders) ranked all 128 FBS teams for 2016, and the Warriors placed no better than 115th on any of those lists. New coach Nick Rolovich brings hope, but this is a major rebuilding project. Hawaii is 11-39 over the past four seasons and hasn’t had a winning record since 2010.
Player to watch: K-P Rigoberto Sanchez. Who says you can’t do all three kicking jobs and do them well? Sanchez kicked off, kicked placements and punted as a junior last season. He made 8 of 11 field-goal attempts, including 5 of 7 from 40 or more yards. As a punter, he averaged 45.1 yards per attempt and dropped 28 punts inside the 20-yard line with only two touchbacks. Sanchez was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal season for Hawaii.
All time: Arizona is 4-0 against Hawaii, outscoring the Warriors 133-44 in those games. They last met in 1998, when the UA defeated Hawaii 27-6 in the opener in Honolulu en route to a program-best 12-1 season under Dick Tomey.
