Tailback Michael Wiley is among a handful of Wildcats who form the connective tissue between the UA squad that ended the losing streak last year and the one that’s about to take on Cal in the Pac-12 opener.
Michael Lev Although it was one of the most meaningful victories in program history, the Arizona Wildcats haven’t spent much time this week talking about last year’s game against Cal."We don't reference it," said UA coach Jedd Fisch, whose team opens Pac-12 play against the Golden Bears on Saturday afternoon in Berkeley."We don't spend time dealing with . The team was completely different. We're a different team. They're a different team.
Tailback Michael Wiley scored the winning — and only — touchdown in that game. It was the second consecutive game in which he scored. He would end the season with a five-game TD streak — no small feat on a team that struggled to score touchdowns. "He had some back issues to the point where we considered taking a steroid shot in the spine," said Faron Wiley, Michael’s father."We almost shut it down.""He didn’t feel like he had that extra punch running the ball," Faron Wiley said.
"I know the reason Michael didn’t want to sit out — we were winless," his father said."He didn’t want to shut it down when the team was oh-and-whatever-it-was at the time."
