It’s been a marathon of a rebuild for the Arizona Wildcats under the tutelage of coach Jedd Fisch.
Through it all, the Wildcats have seen their year-end win totals climb in each of Fisch’s first two seasons in Tucson, from 1-11 in 2021 to 5-7 a year ago.
This fall, oddsmakers at BetMGM Sportsbook Arizona pin Fisch and the Wildcats’ preseason win total at five, with the over listed at +115 and the under at -140.
