Oregon vs Arizona Game Preview
Why Arizona Will Win
So what’s going right?
Things aren’t exactly going well when you lose at home to Northern Arizona, but this is all a work in progress for a program undergoing a total overhaul.
On the positive side, the defense is making plays behind the line – the offense will eventually get there; any D is good D in Tucson – and the secondary hasn’t been all that bad.

Why Oregon Will Win
The Arizona offensive line is – let’s just say – having issues.
The pass protection isn’t there – everyone is getting in the backfield on this O – and there’s no running game whatsoever. It’s a bad mix.
No ground attack means harder third down conversions, and no time to work make moving the chains impossible – the Wildcats are dead last in the country on third downs, converting just 20% of the time.
To blow this, Oregon has to turn the ball over a gajillion times, and that’s not happening – it only has one turnover so far.

What’s Going To Happen
Oregon isn’t exactly going to look ahead to the trip to Stanford and the nastier Pac-12 games ahead, but it can do that after the first half.
Arizona just doesn’t have the lines. The D will do just enough to be annoying in the backfield, and it should be just okay enough to keep the team in the game for a little while.
Oregon will wake up, go on a few decent scoring drives, and that will be it. Arizona won’t be able to push back.
