While his own team would probably get some consideration nearing the halfway point of the season, Washington State coach Jake Dickert has a quick answer for the most improved team he’s seen this season. He thinks it's Arizona. That makes this weekend a challenging matchup for Dickert and No.

All three of Arizona’s losses are by seven points or less and two in overtime, which means the Wildcats are a pesky, improving team. And a concern for the Cougars. Arizona won’t be an easy opponent to get the pass game back on track. The Wildcats held USC’s Caleb Williams to 205 yards passing last week and Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. is the only passer to throw for more than 300 yards on the Wildcats this season.Arizona quarterback Jayden de Laura has missed the past two games with an ankle injury, leaving his return to the Palouse in doubt.
When de Laura injured his ankle against Stanford, Noah Fifita replaced him and led the Wildcats on the game-winning drive.
