Coming off of an incredible season, Wildcat fans are gearing up for the highly anticipated 2024-25 season in the Big 12. Nothing is more exciting than football season. Bear Down! Here is how to watch the Wildcats this 2024 season:
Overview of the 2023 Season
The Wildcats are coming off of a 10-3 season achieving the fourth 10th regular season in program history, a seven-game winning streak, and a championship ring playing in the 2023 Alamo Bowl. Several players also emerged as stars during the season, with their performances attracting attention both within the Pac-12 and nationally. The Wildcats left their last season in the Pac-12 conference being ranked 3rd and 11th in ESPN's rankings.
Sadly, some huge roster and coaching changes have been made going into the 2024 season.
Head coach Jedd Fisch had announced that he would take the head coach role at the University of Washington, bringing 12 players including three starters last season and 21 staff members. Coach Fisish helped flip this team to one of the most impressive turnarounds in the sport during his three years there. The Tucson community was confused about how coming off an amazing season would turn their team coach less. Sooner than later San Jose State head coach Brent Brennan took the role.
This team has the eyes of the nation after such a remarkable season, especially now since they are moving into new competition. Here is the 2024 Arizona Football Schedule:
