Biggest Question: Who can fill the three openings at offensive line?

Arizona’s Pac-12 South divisional title for the 2014 could very well be a taste of what we will be seeing in the future under Rich Rodriguez.

Wildcats fans have a right to be extremely excited about this season with all of the skill players back led by quarterback Anu Solomon, most of the defense back led by Scooby Wright III, and lots more experience and depth all around.

The only question facing the Wildcats at this point is the offensive line. Despite running a spread, Rodriguez’s system depends on a great offensive line because he loves to do power runs up the middle. The Wildcats lost both tackles and three linemen overall.

How much better they are this year will depend on how quickly those voids can be filled. If guys step up in the spring, then we can bet this team will be a serious force in the Fall. There could be much more than just a Pac-12 South title, including possibly a Pac-12 Championship and, dare I say, a College Football Playoff appearance.

But if nobody steps up on the line, they might take a step back.
