The podcast has returned from the bye week to dive into the state of the Arizona Wildcats heading into their home opener against NAU this Saturday. Kevin Sumlin addressed Arizona's performance on defense during the Week Zero loss to Hawaii when the Wildcats coughed up 595 yards to the Rainbow Warriors. Justin Spears and Michael Lev also analyze the new faces emerging for the Cats, and how the Pac-12 fared in the first official week of the college football season.
