AREAS OF NEEDED IMPROVEMENT …
PASS OFFENSE
Ranked: No. 7 in Pac-12, 249 yards per game. No. 1: Cal (396.0). No. 12: Oregon State (94.5).
FOURTH DOWN CONVERSION PERCENTAGE
Ranked No. 9, 33.3 percent. No. 1: Cal (100). No. 12: Oregon State (0).
TIME OF POSSESSION
Ranked No. 10, 26:16. No. 1: Colorado (34:36). No. 12: USC (25:02).
RED ZONE OFFENSE CONVERSION
Ranked No. 11, 72.7 percent. No. 1: USC (100). No. 12: Stanford (57.1).
NOTES: Time of possession is not a dire need of improvement. Look at sixth-ranked USC, last in that category. Most important is Arizona able to extend drives to give its beleaguered defense a rest. … Anu Solomon has the ability and receiving group to throw for at least 300 yards a game, but it’s also to Rich Rodriguez’s advantage to have Nick Wilson run wild. … Solomon also needs to make strides on converting in the red zone, a problem he also encountered last year.
