Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds is already down in the desert, so he was able to track down Jason Scheer, the publisher and senior writer for Wildcat Authority, the Arizona site on the 247Sports Network.
Scheer broke down Arizona's top offensive skill players, starting with Khalil Tate, JJ Taylor, and their potent stable of running backs. He also talked about the turning point with Arizona's run game and how the opposition has tried to take it away, as well as how Washington might be able to get to Tate, especially in the passing game.
Tate threw passes to 11 different players against Colorado, and there isn't a true 'go-to' receiver for the Wildcats, so Scheer talked about a few of the guys he expects will get the majority of targets for UA Saturday night.
Defensively, they talked about what happened against Hawai'i and how things have changed since then. Scheer talked about some of the big differences between then and now, especially with regard to Arizona Defensive Coordinator Marcel Yates and decisions he's made that's helped the Wildcats on that side of the ball.
They also broke down the defensive difference-makers at all three levels. Scheer loves the linebackers and also defensive backs Jace Whittaker and Lorenzo Burns.
Scheer did give some insight on where he thinks Washington quarterback Jacob Eason could attack to do some damage, as well as the game intangibles, like game time, weather, the expected crowd and overall environment at Arizona Stadium.
And finally, Grinolds asks Scheer for his pre- and post-game tailgating tips for food and drink in Tucson.
