Arizona College Football 2024 Preview: What’s the Situation?
Arizona improved from 1-11 to 5-7 in year #2 for Jedd Fisch. Beating Oklahoma in a bowl game last year got them to 10-3, and a massive raise in salary from 2.6 million to 7.5 million.
That kind of money can’t be turned down, so I understand the move. Brent Brennan went 14-11 in his last two seasons at SJ St (plus two bowl losses). Can he keep Arizona’s momentum going?
2024 Arizona NCAAF AREAS TO WATCH:
Arizona lost its top three RB’s but this room could be sneaky good. Listed as a backup, former San Jose St RB Corley could be someone special.
The aerial game features a solid returning duo. QB Fifita is just 5’11”, but is deadly accurate. 6’5” WR McMillian is getting NFL buzz. The OL is decent. I’m not sure what to think about new coordinator Dino Babers (ex-Syracuse coach), but he’s got a good unit to work with. Defensively, Duane Akina is now in charge.
He’s had DC experience, but spent much of the last decade as a DB coach at Stanford, where the results began to taper off. I like the back seven talent, but think the DL will be worse. I have nothing overly positive or negative to say about the special team unit.
Arizona Football 2024 Predicted Total Wins Prediction
Even though I’ve done this for four decades, handicapping the Big 12 is going to be tricky. More than ever, I suggest setting team goals, and not overreacting to game results, but instead reacting to team performances vs. the goals (benchmarks) set.
I see coach Brennan as more of a build the program guy, and therefore they could struggle meeting season one expectations.
I’ve set 8-4 as a ceiling, and think 7-5 is as much in play if not more. Maybe because it’s a non-conference game they can steal an early win at Kansas St, but that’s a tough place to play. I have tickets UNDER 8.5 and UNDER 8 wins, and while worried I still feel confident that there will be growing pains.

2024 Arizona Football Schedule and Games to Watch
Arizona will face conference rival Kansas St in a game that will NOT count in the Big 12 standings, but will be a good barometer as to where the team stands before they head into conference play. The Wildcats destroyed Utah, 42-18 last year.
Utah is at home and seeks revenge, this time with their former starting QB presumed healthy. Games hosting Texas Tech and at BYU therefore cannot be taken for granted. Colorado wasn’t very good a year ago once conference play began, but Arizona needed a last second field goal to win.
They host the Buffs now, and I’ll certainly pre-check how that roster is coming together in year #2. West Virginia rebounded in ’23 and has a solid coach. This is a longer than usual trip for them to make. UCF is solid offensively, but will have their hands full with Arizona’s offense. Arizona closes at TCU and home to ASU.
Arizona 2024 Football Expert HANDICAPPING TIP
I hate change, but let’s see if I can remain strong handicapping Arizona (8-1 last three seasons). No recommended leans at this time.
