Wildcats Eye Win at Home Against Huskies | Arizona Wildcats Football News

Arizona Wildcats return home to Tucson Saturday seeking redemption after a tough road loss to 15 BYU, with QB Noah Fifita taking accountability for the offense’s second-half collapse. Facing Northern Illinois — still winless and coming off shaky performances — Arizona must adapt without injured WR Gio Richardson, opening opportunities for Tre Spivey, Rodney Gallagher, and transfer Cole Rusk. But don’t overlook their potent running game: Ismail Mahdi, last year’s leading rusher, makes his season debut, adding firepower. The Wildcats are heavy favorites (34.5-point spread) as they aim to bounce back before diving into a packed Big 12 slate that includes Houston vs. Texas Tech Friday and ASU vs. Kansas in London Saturday morning. Game kicks off at 7:30 PM PT on TNT. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
