The first half of the Arizona Wildcats’ season was marked by an upset victory, a pair of heartbreaking losses and enough promise to portend better things.

The second half will hinge on how well the Wildcats play at home.

The UA will take on Washington at 7 p.m. tonight at Arizona Stadium, the first in a string of winnable games against Pac-12 Conference opponents.

Four of the Wildcats’ final six games will be played at home, and at least three of them — tonight, Arizona’s Nov. 10 game against Utah and the Nov. 23 rivalry game with Arizona State — seem, on paper, winnable.

That’s why quarterback Matt Scott says its “real important” to hold serve at home, starting this week. Arizona is 3-1 at Arizona Stadium this year; it’s lone loss, to Oregon State last month, came by three points.

Hold down the homefront over the next six weeks, and Arizona can turn its season around. It’s that simple.
