It's going to be a late one tonight, but I hope you all will join us as the Wildcats take on No. 3 Oregon up in Eugene. Arizona is the heavy underdog in tonight's matchup coming off its 21-19 loss to NAU. There still has been no public announcement about the quarterback for UA entering the game, but that will be known soon enough. As always follow along with updates throughout the night plus we invite you to join in the conversation as Arizona looks to try and snap its 15-game losing streak and upset the Ducks' hope of reaching the College Football Playoff.
PREGAME
2nd QUARTER
PREGAME
• Arizona is going with an all-white look for the first time this season. The Wildcats have worn white jerseys in each of the first three games but have mixed it up as Oregon decided to go with its "Dark Knight" uniforms for this one.
• As Noah Fifita hinted at when I spoke with him last night, Jordan McCloud will get the start at quarterback for Arizona against Oregon this evening. It makes the most sense for the Wildcats, but there had been some talk that the coaches were leaning toward Gunner Cruz earlier in the week. You have to see what McCloud can do with time to prepare. It's the right decision. This is going to be a difficult game for anyone who is taking the snaps, it makes sense to have the one with the most experience back there.
