Arizona will play its third straight road game versus a ranked team on Saturday at number 14 BYU. Arizona lost 31-7 at 18th-ranked Kansas State in its first 2024 road game on September 13 and won 23-10 on September 28 at Utah. Arizona lost 28-22 at home to Texas Tech on Saturday.

BYU is 5-0 and won its last game 34-28 at Baylor. The Cougars had a bye last week. BYU is tied with Colorado, Iowa State and West Virginia at 2-0 in the Big XII. Texas Tech leads the Big XII with a 3-0 record after their win over Arizona. The Wildcats dropped to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big XII after the loss on Saturday.

Arizona has struggled with inconsistency this season. They suffered a blowout loss to Kansas State following two mediocre performances in season-opening wins over New Mexico and Northern Arizona. Although they seemed to turn the season around with a win over Utah, they struggled to finish drives against Texas Tech.

BYU has been struggling with its offensive inconsistency. The Cougars had only had 249 yards in a 38-9 win over Kansas State, while Baylor managed to gain 387 yards against BYU. Both Arizona and BYU are aiming to improve their defensive and offensive consistency as they prepare for their game on Saturday.
