Date: Friday, Sept. 22 vs. Utah
Time: 7:30 p.m.
TV: Fox Sports 1
Notable: The Friday-night game is Arizona's Pac-12 opener.
Star player to watch: Defensive tackle Lowell Lotulelei. Lotulelei posted 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks last season.
Breakdown: Last year’s Pac-12 opener — a 35-28 OT loss to College Football Playoff participant Washington — represented the pre-Territorial Cup peak of Arizona’s season. The Utes will be wary of the Wildcats, having lost four in a row in the series before 2016. Two additional items of note: This is a Friday-night game, and it marks the return of LB Cody Ippolito, who transferred from the UA to Utah.
