Arizona had a nightmare of a season in 2020 in the final year of Kevin Sumlin, going 0-5 with a season finale blowout loss to Arizona State, 70-7.

The Wildcats have been kicked while they’re down and they found some light at the end of the tunnel in the form of Jedd Fisch who many believe is going to turn things around, but it’s going to take some time. Basically, the Wildcats won’t be truly competitive for a couple of years.

UCLA faced Arizona in 2020 and beat the Wildcats by 17 and I could see things getting even uglier this time around with a more experienced Chip Kelly team ready to prove itself.

Fisch is going to have a rough first season and he’ll be lucky to win a Pac-12 game, especially since that schedule is looking pretty rough. The Bruins will be the second Pac-12 matchup for Fisch and Arizona in 2021 and they’ll probably do what the first conference opponent (Oregon) does and handle the Wildcats with ease.

Arizona just doesn’t have the pieces yet to put a competent team on the field.
