Arizona will not only have a new head coach, but their QB1 just entered the transfer portal.

Travel for this schedule is pretty favorable early on. In the first 6 weeks there is a trip to Las Vegas and a trip to Logan. Everything else is at home. Week 7 and 8 are back to back trips to Waco, TX and Pullman, WA. Then we have 3 more weeks at home before ending the season with back to back trips to Statesboro, GA and Los Angeles.
