When it’s all said and done, Arizona will either be 0-9 in the Pac-12 or 1-8, but that one win could bring solace to the fans and the seniors. The coaches can recruit on a tad upbeat as well, which they will do starting the next day, Rich Rod will be on his way to Phoenix to cheer on his son and future Arizona freshman Rhett Rodriguez in the Arizona Division 4A Championship.

So are two wins too much to ask for? We hope not! BearDown Arizona! BearDown Seniors, you are Wildcats for Life, thank you!
