The No. 10 Ducks travel to the desert to take on Pac-12 foe Arizona, the third straight Top-10 opponent for the Wildcats, who just want October to get here already.
One of the biggest early games of the Pac-12 season is goin' down in Tucson Saturday night, as the Arizona Wildcats host the No. 10 Oregon Ducks in the Wildcats third consecutive game against a Top-10 team.
After getting a Cardinal beatdown — 37-10 at home — and losing to Oklahoma State before that, the Wildcats get no break in the Ducks. After rushing for more than 200 yards in his last game, LaMichael James is ready to continue his Heisman momentum against an Arizona defense that's sorely missing Casey Matthews, who's sorely missing Arizona during his struggles with the Eagles.
Senior Nick Foles has already thrown for more than 1,000 yards this year as he continues to remind NFL scouts there are quarterbacks beyond Andrew Luck coming into the draft next year, but the Wildcats are averaging just 55 rushing yards per game, a number that doesn't figure to go up if they're playing from behind against possibly the country's most potent offense.
One thing's for sure: there are going to be a lot of points on the board in Tucson.
