Arizona's matchup with No. 13 Washington State in Pullman on Oct. 14 is scheduled for a 4 p.m. kickoff on Pac-12 Networks, the conference announced Monday morning.

The Wildcats' contest against the Cougars will mark the third game this season Arizona kicked before 5 p.m. It's also the fifth game this season Arizona will play on Pac-12 Networks in the conference's last season with the current members. Washington State is one of two teams, along with Oregon State, that isn't splintering from the conference in 2024.Β 

Arizona has lost three straight to the Cougars, including last season's 31-20 defeat in Tucson, when UA quarterback and former WSU star Jayden de Laura threw four interceptions against his former team.

De Laura, who was held out of Saturday's loss to Washington for an ankle injury, was a standout for the Cougars during the 2020 and '21 seasons and was named a Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year.Β 

Arizona faces No. 9 USC this Saturday at 7 p.m. in Los Angeles and will be televised on ESPN.Β
