Arizona Wildcats football: 2013 schedule includes early road trips, late-season home games

The Arizona Wildcats' 2013 schedule was announced today, and it features three home games in November.

The Wildcats, though, will be on the road early and often as it tries to build off this season's 8-5 mark.

Arizona opens its season Aug. 31 at home against NAU and then will travel to UNLV on Sept. 7. The team's final nonconference game is Sept. 14 against University of Texas-San Antonio.

Arizona will open conference play Sept. 28 at Washington. After a bye the following week, the Wildcats will head back out on the road to play USC on Thursday, Oct. 10.

The team's first home conference game comes a week later against Utah, and is followed by road games at Colorado and California.

After facing former offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes and Cal, Arizona will head home for three straight home games against UCLA, Washington State and Oregon.

The season concludes with the Territorial Cup on Nov. 30 in Tempe. Arizona will not face Stanford and Oregon State in 2013.
