The Lowdown: Arizona has been a team floating under the radar all season. One of the easiest non-conference schedules in the nation led the Wildcats to be overlooked and a road loss to Washington exaggerated the national irrelevancy to a point. The Wildcats fell to a USC team riding high on emotion after the firing of Lane Kiffin, but Zona impressed in a second half comeback. A win over a Utah team coming off a big win over Stanford helped validate the Wildcats and star running back Ka'Deem Carey continues to dominate.
Colorado has played the Arizona well and the Wildcats have struggled on the road but don't underestimate this team, they will be a handful in Boulder this Saturday.
