On Thursday, the Wildcats will travel to Autzen Stadium for a 10:30pm EST matchup on ESPN against the second-ranked Oregon Ducks. Doing so in style, the Wildcats will don all red helmets.

As the Arizona Football twitter account suggests, the Wildcats will definitely need to Bear Down if they hope to have any shot at hanging with the Ducks.
Oregon already has won the uniform game despite Arizona bringing some new digs, and the Ducks also open the contest as 22.5 point favorites. Marcus Mariota has been every bit the Heisman front runner he was expected to be, and the Ducks have made offense look easy thus far.
For Oregon however, a date with top 10 UCLA is looming the following week, so the Wildcats are in a prime position to play spoiler.
Look for Mark Helfrich to have his team ready and for Arizona to go down while at least looking good in doing so. Again, make sure to tune in on Thursday night at 10;30pm EST to catch the game on ESPN.
