The Arizona Wildcats will have a much-needed bye this week as the Wildcats come off a Week 3 defeat to No. 13 Kansas State. Arizona's season started with hope, with back-to-back victories over New Mexico (61-39) and Northern Arizona (22-10). However, K-State wiped the floor with them in Week 3, beating them 31-7.

Quarterback Noah Fifita threw for 268 yards, with no touchdowns and an interception. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan did put on the usual spectacle, with 138 receiving yards in 11 catches. However, Arizona's inability to stop Kansas State's running game was what lost them the game. K-state ran for 235 yards.

"There were so many details in that game, just small things that are fixable, that I think we can address and attack aggressively," Arizona coach Brent Brennan soke about the loss this week. "We would be feeling a lot better if we had just handled some of those details a little bit better.
"I need to coach this team better and make sure we get those things airtight before we take the field again ... I think we have great young people in that room, and I think that those are the ones that we're going to lean on, because we're going to need their best when the best is needed."

Who Arizona Wildcats face in Week 5?

Arizona will indeed need to improve on small details for their upcoming week of action as they face the No. 12 Utah Utes. Utah is one of the favorite teams to make the 12-team college football playoff at the end of the season.

Previously, the Utes have easily defeated Southern Utah, Baylor, and Utah State. This weekend, they face the No. 14 Oklahoma State Cowboys, which will have huge implications on conference and playoff play. Oklahoma State was a finalist in last year's Big 12 championship game.

With ample time to rest this week, the Wildcats will have a long stretch in which they have to be on their toes.
