The Arizona Wildcats (7-2) are in the final stretch of the season and now face back-to-back road games with the Oregon Ducks on tap for this week.

At this point last season, Arizona's record was completely flipped around and the program was in disarray. With USC claiming the Pac-12 South title last week, the Wildcats' mission at this point is to keep winning and focus on returning to a notable bowl game. 

Head coach Rich Rodriguez held a press conference Monday, hear what he had to say:
