Football season is here and about to kick off very soon. Thanks to Arizona Athletics, we have the perfect preview for  your 2014 Arizona Wildcat season.

"“The Rich Rodriguez era continues in 2014 when the Wildcats look to build on their 16-10 record and back-to-back bowl wins in his first two seasons at the helm of the program. An innovator of the hurry up, no huddle, spread offense, Rodriguez and his staff have assembled a squad for 2014 that looks to carry on the excitement and culture that has been in the works for the past 24 months. This season looks to be a stepping stone towards building a concrete and complete program here in the Old Pueblo.”"

ArizonaThe second article for your Morning Meltdown, is a piece reporting that the Arizona Wildcats will schedule tougher non-conference opponents in the future.

Shane Dale writes,

"“They had one of the softest non-conference schedules in NCAA football last season — and with UNLV, Nevada and Texas-San Antonio on their 2014 schedule, the Arizona Wildcats’ less-than-imposing non-Pac-12 slate has drawn some scrutiny.In fact, the Wildcats aren’t scheduled to play another non-conference opponent from a Power 5 school – those that play in the Pac-12, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC – until 2022 when they’ll face Mississippi State, where current UA athletic director Greg Byrne served as AD before coming to Tucson.”"
