Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon (12) skips away from Washington linebacker Hau'oli Kikaha (8) to avoid a sack in the third quarter of the their Pac-12 game at Arizona Stadium, Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014, Tucson, Ariz. 

Lindy's 

Scooby watch: Besides being the No. 1 inside linebacker in the country, Wright was put on the All-Pac-12 team and All-American squad.

Lindy’s also selected him a the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. The UA’s linebackers were not ranked as one of the top groups in the country, however.

Projecting Arizona: The Wildcats are No. 19 in Lindy’s preseason poll. The magazine ranked the top 22 coaches in the country and put Rodriguez at No. 18. Jones was ranked as the 14th best receiver in the country, following his 1,000-yard season last year.

The magazine put Wilson and Riggleman on the second-team All-Pac-12. It named Solomon as the top scrambler in the league.

From the pages: “The team’s all-around depth is still lacking. With that, it’s a bit much to expect Arizona to successfully tip-toe to another South title while playing 12 consecutive games without a bye.” — the final call of Arizona’s preseason hopes.
