No. 1 Arizona escaped a hostile environment against unranked TCU in Fort Worth on Saturday, but the Wildcats know it’s just the beginning.
As the current No.1 team in the nation, Arizona has a target on its back during every game, and in the Big 12, even the “easier games” come with challenges and adversity. The Wildcats never trailed against TCU on Saturday and held a substantial lead for the majority of the contest. Yet, the Horned Frogs battled early and made things more difficult in the second half, giving Arizona a little taste of a true Big 12 road game. And it was exactly what head coach Tommy Lloyd wanted.
