Game-day research
Frogs at Wildcats preview: what our research says
Arizona enters tonight at 5-2 and ranked No. 24. The Wildcats are 3-0 at home and 2-2 on the road. Their latest result was a 26-34 loss at Texas Tech, after a 39-3 home win over Iowa State. They return to Tucson to host TCU at 9:15 PM CT.
The passing game continues to produce. Noah Fifita threw for 417 yards against Texas Tech, while Isaiah Mizell had 182 receiving yards. Mizell has collected 21 catches for 499 yards and four touchdowns across his latest three games. Kedrick Reescano supplied two rushing touchdowns in the loss. The published backfield chart lists Reescano alongside Quincy Craig as alternatives.
Brent Brennan retained his offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and starting quarterback from last season. That continuity remains part of Arizona’s roster story. The November 4 two-deep lists Chris Hunter III as a starting receiver and Mizell as an alternative, despite Mizell’s recent production. Its defensive projection lists roles and alternatives, while the availability report lists several projected defenders as out or questionable.
Availability remains unsettled. R.J. Mosley is out for the season with a knee injury, and Jay’Vion Cole is also out. Cole Rusk is probable and could return after missing five games. The latest dated official availability report located was issued November 3; later game-time updates for Arizona were not confirmed.
Season at time of writing
Arizona is 5-2, with a 3-0 home record and a 2-2 road record, and is ranked No. 24. The Wildcats have scored 34 or more points in five of their seven supplied results and allowed 7 or fewer in two wins.
The news
Texas Tech ends the winning streak
The 34-26 loss at Texas Tech ended Arizona’s five-game winning streak. Kedrick Reescano scored twice on the ground in the loss.
Continuity across the coaching core
Brent Brennan retained his head coach, offensive and defensive coordinators, and starting quarterback after last season. Noah Fifita has started 42 consecutive games, according to Arizona’s game notes.
Availability shapes Arizona’s depth
Arizona’s availability list includes cornerback Jay’Vion Cole and receiver R.J. Mosley as out, with several other players questionable. The November 4 two-deep still lists some unavailable or questionable players among its projected starters, so the lineup remains subject to availability.
