Arizona Wildcats head coach Brent Brennan addressed the media Monday to discuss the upcoming matchup against No. 2 Utah. The game is scheduled for Saturday at Casino Del Sol Stadium and will be featured on a primetime Fox Big Noon Kickoff broadcast at 5:30 p.m. MT.
Brennan expressed his desire for a sellout crowd at the stadium, noting that the game serves as an opportunity for the Zona Zoo, the city of Tucson, and the state of Arizona to show support for the university. The Wildcats currently average just over 42,000 fans per game at Casino Del Sol Stadium, which has a capacity of 50,800. The last sellout at the venue occurred during a 2024 Homecoming game against Colorado.
Regarding the opponent, Brennan said he has great respect for the Utah program and its consistency, noting their transition from the Mountain West to the Power Four. He also commented on Utah quarterback Devon Dampier, calling him an exceptional player and an impressive athlete.
The head coach also touched on recent team performances, including the offensive line's production in a game against TCU where the team ran for over 130 yards and threw for 300 yards. Brennan also praised defensive back Dajon Hinton for his performance and growth following a previous injury. Additionally, Brennan spoke about the return of Rob Gronkowski to the area, stating he has great respect for the individual and his support of the University of Arizona.
The Wildcats enter the week following a game on Friday, November 6, 2026, which provided the team with an extra day of preparation. The upcoming game against Utah is considered one of the most significant matchups in recent memory for the program under Brent Brennan.
The matchup against No. 2 Utah is scheduled for Saturday night.
