I know a lot of people are staying away from this conference matchup but I see Arizona putting up big numbers on the road against this Stanford D, as well as slowing their subpar offense. HUGE GAME for me here 
Arizona
SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: The Wildcats have brought balance to its scheme with TB Nic Grigsby having to be focused on every down. That leaves the four and five receivers open going against man coverage much of the time. QB Willie Tuitama has spread the wealth, hitting a number of different receivers instead of relying on just one or two players. The offensive line didn’t miss a beat last week despite losing starting C Blake Kerley.
SCOUTING THE DEFENSE: You say the Wildcats haven’t been tested with a prolific offense so far? So what. Arizona is still No. 1 nationally against the pass, and No. 2 in total defense. The Wildcats are relying on quickness and gang tackling to make up for inexperience. The secondary has given up only two pass plays longer than 25 yards
through five games. The one weakness was supposed to be the ability to stop the run. Washington rushed for only 63 yards.
Stanford
SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: QB Tavita Pritchard has been uneven—including three first-half interceptions last week at Notre Dame—but has had enough good moments to keep his job. This week, the best way to get at Arizona might be to run the ball. The Wildcats are fine statistically in rushing defense (107.4 yards allowed per game) but haven’t been challenged much.
SCOUTING THE DEFENSE: Stanford has a minus-5 turnover margin, with the defense coming up with only eight turnovers in six games. Defensive coordinator Ron Lynn wants to see his players go after the ball more and attempt to strip the ball-carrier. Stanford is allowing 394.3 yards per game and has a penchant for letting receivers get behind the defense. Arizona’s wideouts present tough matchups because of their athleticism (Mike Thomas), size (Delashaun Dean, Terrell Turner) and their athleticism and size (TE Rob Gronkowski).
