## Season notes[edit]

* In addition to playing Ohio State, the Wildcats played a second Big Ten team, Indiana. Arizona would ultimately lose to the Hoosiers.
* From mid-October to early November, Arizona played four consecutive home games, one of the earliest times in modern history that the Wildcats played four home or away games in a row in a season.
