Game Prediction
UTSA almost squeezed out a victory when these two teams faced off in San Antonio last season. If it weren’t for a 4th quarter interception by the Wildcats the Roadrunners could have run away with a win. I don’t believe this game will be that close this year.
Coming off a heartbreaking loss against Boise State, the Arizona Wildcats need to start this season off on the right foot. With a completed season under Anu Solomon‘s belt, I do not believe the Roadrunners will have enough offensively to keep up with the Wildcats high-powered offense.
Expect a big game from Anu Solomon at home along with maybe a couple picks from the Wildcats defense. This game will not be as close as last season with the Zona Zoo bouncing and pumping up Arizona Stadium. The Wildcats will win and move to (1-0). So pumped for next weeks game.
Final Score Prediction
Arizona 45
UTSA 21
