Coach:
Mike Stoops

Last year:
The Wildcats finished 6-6 and were bowl-eligible but not invited.

Offense: Stoops has hired Sonny Dykes from Texas Tech as offensive coordinator. Dykes brings the spread offense, which will give this unit a totally different look. He is very high on junior quarterback Willie Tuitama, who missed a good part of last season with injuries. Running back Chris Henry was lost to the NFL draft, but Chris Jennings and Xavier Smith will ably replace him.

Defense: With 10 starters returning from a crew that finished as the number four defense in the conference, Arizona has a chance for dominance on this side of the ball. End Louis Holmes will provide a strong pass rush, and Spencer Larsen is a big hitter at linebacker. Playboy All America Antoine Cason gives opposing quarterbacks nightmares from his cornerback position.

Schedule: The biggest challenges are road games at Cal and USC.

Prediction: 8-4
