| Arizona Wildcats Football News: |
| Heading into the Arizona football team's win over in-state rival Arizona State, the Wildcats were ranked last out of all 117 Division I-A teams in offensive scoring, averaging only 13 points per contest.
Arizona struggled much of the year moving the ball and putting points on the board, scoring over 20 points in just their three wins; however good news came in the form of the team's 34-point performance against the Sun Devils. The Wildcats set several season highs in the win and return seven of the eleven starters from Friday's game. "We showed that we can do some things offensively," said head coach Mike Stoops following the Territorial Cup victory. "I was really proud of our offense. We attacked in a lot of ways. That was an area I thought we'd have to score some points to win and obviously we did that today." |

| Running back
Key Returners: senior Mike Bell, senior Gilbert Harris, sophomore Chris Henry Key Losses: none Nearly all of the Wildcats' rushing production comes back next year and Bell is coming off a career high in yardage, finishing with 950. Harris also made great contributions to the ground game, but missed nearly half of the year due to injury. Arizona could have a potent three-headed monster in the backfield with the return of Henry, who showed spots of brilliance as well. Fullback Key Returners: junior Pedro Limon Key Losses: none Limon was the Wildcats primary fullback for much of the year, primarily as a blocking back, but did record six catches on the season. His return adds more stability to a veteran backfield. Receivers Key Returners: junior Mike Jefferson, sophomore Anthony Johnson, freshman Bobby McCoy, sophomore B.J. Dennard, junior Syndric Steptoe, senior Biren Ealy, junior Ryan Eidson Key Losses: Ricky Williams An area that lacked playmakers heading into the matchup with ASU, Dennard, Jefferson and Steptoe all made plays against the Sun Devils and will need to become more involved in the UA offense if the Wildcats want to climb out of the D-I cellar. Arizona had only three players haul in more than 20 catches, including the departing Williams. Stoops said McCoy, who redshirted this season, could play a big offensive role next season. Tight end Key Returners: junior Brad Wood Key Losses: Steve Fleming, Clarence McRae Fleming was another one of the only three 20-plus pass catchers on the Arizona offense and his blocking ability will also be missed. The Wildcats have a slew of freshmen tight ends in the wings, but none have seen much action with Fleming and McRae taking most of the snaps. |
