It's official — ESPN’s "College GameDay" is coming to Tucson.
Sunday, ESPN’s official GameDay twitter made the announcement that the crew will be in the Old Pueblo for No. 20 Arizona’s 5 p.m. Pac-12 opener with No. 10 UCLA.

It’s the first time "GameDay" has visited Tucson since 2009, when the Oregon Ducks came to town. That game famously saw the ZonaZoo storm the field before the game was over, and the Ducks went on to win 44-41 in two overtimes.

Arizona (3-0) is coming off a dominant 77-13 win over NAU on Saturday night, while UCLA (3-0) won a nail-biter against BYU 24-23.
It was believed that it was between the Arizona-UCLA matchup and the ASU-USC game in Tempe. Once USC lost to Stanford on Saturday, though, that game became far less likely.
