The undefeated Arizona Wildcats want to put a nail in the coffin of the USC Trojans’ season when they meet this Saturday at 10:30 p.m. Eastern at Arizona Stadium.
With a 5-0 record and an unexpected victory last week at Oregon over the Ducks, Arizona looks is one of the surprise teams in the PAC-12; in fact, they are the only unbeaten team remaining in the conference.
Arizona has done the job in a variety of ways. While they won as 24 point dogs against Oregon last week, they needed a Hail Mary last week to beat Cal.
The Wildcats are now ranked 10th in the nation, their highest ever ranking in the AP Poll.
“Making that big jump to 10th feels so good,” safety Will Parks said. “Nothing will change in our preparation. We’re going to stay humble, stay ready and stay focused for whatever challenge comes our way. Our minds are going to stay the same, and we’re going to go out there with everything we have, just like any other weekend.”
USC has a 3-2 record and suffered a surprise loss their last week against Arizona State with a poor defended Hail Mary TD. With two losses on their resume, their chances to get a playoff spot for the national championship are slim.
USC is favored by three points despite playing away from home. Arizona is 2-10 SU in its last 12 games when playing Southern Cal.
