Athlon Sports: Wildcats will get out to good start vs. Lumberjacks
It writes: "Fisch says his two goals in 2023 are to sell out all six home games and to play in a bowl game, something that Arizona hasn’t done since 2017. Interest in UA football has grown significantly. The Wildcats sold a school-record 15,000 tickets for the spring game — not counting thousands of students. Getting off to a good start — beating NAU, UTEP and conference-opening opponent Stanford over the first four weeks — is imperative for Arizona’s bowl hopes."
Saturday Out West: Arizona will get revenge vs. Northern Arizona
Jon Gold writes: "For the handful of Wildcats who remain from Fisch’s first season in 2021, a miserable 1-11 campaign, the sting of suffering the first loss to in-state “rival” Northern Arizona in almost 90 years still lingers. That 21-19 defeat was shocking at the time and still is. A Lumberjacks win this year is beyond belief, as evidenced by Arizona’s 96.3% chances according to ESPN’s Football Power Index."
SB Nation: Arizona will beat NAU by a couple of scores
Eric Newman wrote: "I think it’s possible to win for the Lumberjacks. But, as I said in the previous answer, the teams are different. The guys in Tucson aren’t going to overlook this team again. I think Arizona wins, probably by a couple scores.”
