Marcio Jose SanchezArizona football is one win away from bowl eligibility. Let that settle in after the Wildcats were voted to finish last in the Pac-12.
Coming off three consecutive wins with quarterback Khalil Tate at the helm, the buzz around the team is much different and there's hope that the Cats could bounce back from back-to-back losses against Washington State.
The last time these two teams played, the Wildcats were embarassed 69-7 and the year before that, Luke Falk threw five touchdowns and spoiled Arizona's homecoming.
Rich Rodriguez held a press conference Monday to review Arizona's win over Cal and preview the Cats' game against Washington State:
