Return of Scooby Wright Huge Boost for Arizona Defense

The Bruins are averaging 240.7 yards rushing and have not allowed a sack.

Let us know what your prediction is in the comments! He mentioned at one point that the words Arizona State are “bad” in his house. Sure, it’s non conference, but still, 42, 44, & 77! The Wildcats are #7 nationally in both total and rushing offense.

David Potts: A Power 5 team, maybe? The Trojans are obviously coming off a potentially season-derailing home loss to Stanford, and the Sun Devils have looked nothing like the dymanic offensive team many expected them to be. This time around, the magic of Corso may be on the ‘Cats side, as the former head coach picked 16th-ranked Arizona to upset the visiting ninth-ranked UCLA Bruins.

“I think it would mean a lot”, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit told reporters Friday about Wright’s possible return. “I never would’ve thought I’d play there”.

Arizona is coached by Rich Rodriguez.

Our predictions haven’t exactly been hard to make up to this point this year, as the Arizona Wildcats have been big winners the last two weeks.

DP: I think the team has gotten even better offensively. And the significance is not lost on the Wildcats. Arizona running back Nick Wilson and UCLA running back Paul Perkins are two if the premier backs in all of college football. Arizona didn’t have much room to improve offensively, but they somehow managed to do so this year.

He looked like a Heisman candidate after his opening game against Virginia. They struggled with that previous year against the Bruins, recording six three-and-outs before eventually falling 17-7 at the Rose Bowl. If Arizona were to lose, it would be simply because of overlooking whoever replaces him.

Not only is Wright key to the Wildcats winning on first and second down against UCLA’s run game, but he’s the team’s best pass rusher, moving from middle linebacker into an edge position on the line on third-and-long.

Myles Jack took to Tweeter after the report of the injured and posted “Next man up”. Arizona – WR Cayleb Jones (Probable, undisclosed), LB Scooby Wright III (Questionable, knee), WR Samajie Grant (Questionable, undisclosed), LB Haden Gregory (Mid October, undisclosed), WR Trey Griffey (Late September, foot). “I’ve been really impressed with him”.
