Winless halfway through last season, the Wildcats are 3-3 heading into a matchup with Washington; Jedd Fisch continues to emphasize longer-term goals.
The Arizona Wildcats are halfway through his second season. They’re 3-3. He isn’t satisfied with that record. But it’s a lot better than where they were at the same point last year, and isn’t that the goal?
Two of Arizona’s losses came against teams currently ranked in the top 16 in the Associated Press poll — No. 12 Oregon and No. 16 Mississippi State. They’re a combined 10-2. The initial over/under win total for the 2022 Wildcats was 2.5. It inched up to three. If you bet it, the worst case is a push. "I believe that we're going in the right direction. We have a lot of recruits that want to be a part of our program. We have a lot of people that want to be here. We're also ... at the very beginning stages of where we want to take it. We want to build this program into a championship-level program, into a program that we see Oregon at right now or Utah."
"They have certainly had years upon years of recruiting very, very good players; very, very big players; very, very strong players. So we're going to continue to build our program up in that same regard. And as we're building it, we know that there's going to be some lumps that we have to take."
