"This should be a great series with Arizona," commented A&M head coach Jo Evans. "They are a program that many schools in the nation try to emulate. They play the game the way it should be played and our players and staff have learned a lot competing against them. We played well against them a couple weeks ago and we will have to continue to play well to beat them on their home field. We look forward to the challenge of playing in front of their home crowd."
