The Pac-12 has announced the football schedule for next season. Arizona Wildcats players, coaches and fans will be happy to know that the team actually gets an in-season bye next year. Not having one proved detrimental this season.
After the preseason slate of BYU (at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale), Grambling and Hawaii, Arizona opens conference play against Washington on Sept. 24. Next up are road games against UCLA and Utah, followed by a home game against USC. Then comes the bye on Oct. 22 before Stanford comes to town on the 29th. The annual Territorial Cup game is the day after Thanksgiving - Friday, Nov. 25.
The complete schedule can be found below. Kickoff times and TV assignments will be announced at a later date.
