It’s June and Arizona’s football season is slated to start in less than 80 days with an Aug. 29 kickoff at Arizona Stadium against Hawaii.
The first question: Will Arizona’s season start on time or will there be a season at all because of the COVID-19 pandemic? Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke said on the Eye on the Ball radio show last night that the next 30 days — after workouts start Monday — will be a gauge on plans going forward toward the season.
If the season starts on time and is played in full, I posted a poll on Twitter yesterday asking fans how many wins will Arizona achieve in Kevin Sumlin’s third season as head coach?
A majority of them — 38 percent out of 77 respondents — predict Arizona will finish 5-7. Here are the results:
If Arizona plays its football season as scheduled, how many wins do the Wildcats achieve? Twitter only allows four choices. If you think it’s a different win total, comment the number.
