TUCSON, Ariz. -- Fresh off a 45-42 road win over Colorado last weekend, the Arizona Wildcats are set to return to Arizona Stadium this weekend to host UCLA for Family Weekend. 

Following the win, Arizona is 3-2 on the season and 1-1 in Pac-12 play. Game time is set for 6 p.m., and will be televised by the Pac-12 Network. Roxy Bernstein, Anthony Herron and Lewis Johnson will be on the call. Below is a full preview:

Some Game Themes: Statistically speaking, this one is as clear cut as it gets: Arizona's explosive rushing attack against UCLA's passing prowess. Surely more will go into the X's and O's, but it's a good starting point. Arizona's quarterback duo of Khalil Tate (named national player of the week by multiple publications) and Brandon Dawkins has rushed for 771 yards this season, a nearly 10-yards per attempt average that makes you do a double take when crunching the numbers. Of course, that doesn't include co-starting running backs Nick Wilson and JJ Taylor who have combined for nearly another 500 rushing yards. On the flip side, Josh Rosen is a highly touted pro prospect that engineers a passing attack that has thrown for at least 372 yards in all five games this season. On top of that, the Bruins are rested and perhaps healthier following a bye week, and maybe there will be a few new wrinkles to consider. Their last outing happened to be against the same Buffaloes team the Wildcats just held off in Boulder. So there's plenty of comparable film for each side to digest. Perhaps an off-the-radar stat to keep an eye on will be penalties. Arizona, which just had a 100 fewer yards in penalties last week at Colorado, is the third-least penalized team in the Pac-12. Meanwhile, the Bruins are second-most penalized team. And one more thing ponder: how will turnovers factor in? These teams played turnover free ball a year ago in Pasadena, a game won decidedly by UCLA in the second half when, interestingly, Tate – then only a 17-year old true freshmen – made his college debut. However, the Cats haven't won the turnover battle in this series since 2011, suffering a minus-7 turnover margin during the five-game losing streak to UCLA. The home side hopes its thrilling road win on the heels of Tate's heroics will fire up what has been a wait-and-see home crowd thus far. The Wildcats have dropped two in a row in their home venue, but perhaps the recent spark and Family Weekend vibe will turn things around. Make no mistake, this is another pivotal game for both squads. The Pac-12 South Division is wide open with every team now having suffered at least one conference loss. The winner of this one moves toward the top of the divisional race with a 2-1 mark. If that's not something to play for in October, then what is? It's the Cats and Bruins under the Saturday night lights. See you there.

Last Week: In the land of "Run Ralphie Run", it was more like who could run farther: Khalil Tate or Phillip Lindsay? Arizona's sophomore quarterback spelled a shaken up Brandon Dawkins on the first series of the game and never looked back as he sprinted and passed his way into the record books. Tate rushed for an FBS quarterback record 327 yards and needed only 14 carries to do so. He amassed 208 yards on his four rushing touchdowns alone, a 52 yards-per average thanks to scores of 58, 28, 47 and 75 yards. He also threw for 154 yards and another score, giving him a tally of 481 total offense yards. Added up, it led the Wildcats to 45 points and 567 yards of offense. They needed every point because Lindsay, Colorado's do-everything running back, nearly matched Tate. Lindsay carried the Buffs on his shoulders with 281 yards on 41 rushes of his own. His third touchdown of the game – an 11-yarder – brought CU within three points at 45-42 with 5:04 remaining in the fourth quarter. That's when Tate and the Cats did something they hadn't done all night: slow things down. Instead of running for long touchdowns on short drives (twice on the first play of a drive), Tate engineered a methodical 8-play, 55-yard drive to run out the final five minutes and change. Included were two key third down conversions. The first came early in the possession when, on third-and-four, he dumped a short pass to tight end Bryce Wolma for an eight-yard gain to move the chains. Then, after two CU penalties gave UA another first down, Tate needed one more first down to run out the clock. Facing a third-and-seven with a little over a minute to go, Tate broke several tackles on his way to a game-clinching 31-yard gain that gave him the single-game rushing record for QBs. It also clinched another record: Tate and Lindsey combined for 608 rushing yards, the most by two opposing players in FBS history. It was a hard fought road victory that was Arizona's first in the Pac-12 since their last trip to Boulder in 2015. Arizona has now won five of its last six against Colorado, including three straight at Folsom Field.

Tate Named National Player of the Week: A day after his record setting performance in leading Arizona to a thrilling 45-42 victory at Colorado, sophomore quarterback Khalil Tate was named the national offensive player of the week by the Walter Camp Football Foundation on Sunday. He is the first Wildcat to garner a national weekly honor from the organization since linebacker Scooby Wright III in 2014. Tate was also named the College Football Player of the Week by CBS Sports, the National Offensive Player of the Week by Athlon Sports and the National Performer of the Week by College Football Performance Awards (CFPA).
 Against Colorado, Tate combined for five touchdowns and totaled 481 yards of offense in his first extended action of the season. He rushed 14 times for 327 yards, which set a new NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) single-game rushing yardage record for a quarterback. The 327 rushing yards stand second-most all-time at Arizona and fifth-most in Pac-12 Conference history. He also completed 12 of 13 pass attempts for 154 yards to become only the second quarterback in FBS history to rush for 300 yards and pass for 150 yards in the same contest. The 18-year old quarterback, who had not played due to injury in Arizona's previous two contests, totaled 208 rushing yards on his four rushing touchdowns (58, 28, 47 and 75 yards). The 208 yards on scoring plays alone would have been good enough for the 11th-best single-game rushing output for a Wildcat. His 23.4-yard average on 14 carries is easily a school record for players with at least 10 rushing attempts. •             Set a new FBS record for single-game rushing yardage by a quarterback (327 yards).
•             Became the second quarterback in FBS history to rush for 300 yards and pass for 150 in the same game (Jordan Lynch, Northern Illinois, 2013).
•             Combined with Colorado's Phillip Lindsay (281 yards) to set a new FBS record for total rushing yards between two opposing players (608 yards).
•             Produced the second 300-yard rushing game in Arizona football history.
•             Needed the second-fewest carries (14) of Arizona's 20 all-time 200-yard rushing performances.
•             Ranks fifth in UA single-game history for all-purpose yardage. The 327 all-purpose yards were the most for a Wildcat since Ka'Deem Carey set the school record with 400 yards against Colorado in 2012.
•             Totaled 481 yards of offense (327 rushing, 154 passing), which is the fifth-most in school single-game history.
•             Needed only 27 total plays (14 rushing, 13 passing) to tally the 481 yards of total offense. Of the 15 all-time Arizona performances with 425+ yards of total offense, no other player had fewer than 44 attempts (passing and rushing combined) in a game.
•             Averaged 23.4 yards per carry, which is easily a school record for players with a minimum 10 attempts in a game. The previous mark was held by Trung Canidate (16.0, 18-288) in the 1998 victory over Arizona State.
•             Additionally, with an average of 17.81 yards on 27 total plays, broke Canidate's school record for average gain per play among players with at least 15 plays.
•             Tied for the second-most rushing touchdowns in a game by any UA players.
•             Set a new Arizona single-game pass completion percentage record (12-13, 92.3%) for quarterbacks with at least 10 attempts.
•             As a team, Arizona completed 12-of-14 passes for a completion percentage of 85.7%. That matches the identical percentage set against Colorado in 2012 as the school single-game record for a minimum 10 attempts.

School-er Zone: In his first two collegiate games, true freshman linebacker Colin Schooler had a combined four tackles as he introduced himself to Division I football. His last three games have proven he's fully introduced himself and is onto the next stage. Schooler has 17 tackles, three tackles-for-loss, one interception, one sack and one forced fumble in his last three games against UTEP, Utah and Colorado. Against the Miners, Schooler had three tackles, and added a forced fumble, which teammate Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recovered, and also had an interception he returned 53 yards deep into UTEP territory. Then in his Pac-12 debut against the Utes, Schooler had a career high eight tackles to lead the Wildcats. He also added a pair of tackles-for-loss; the first of his career. He followed that up with six tackles, and the first sack of his career, in a 45-42 win over Colorado. Schooler has 21 tackles on the season, tied with senior Brandon Rutt for fifth-most on the team. Of the six Wildcats who have 21 or more tackles on the season, four, including Schooler, are freshmen.       
 
Wilson Climbing the Charts: Senior running back Nick Wilson entered his senior season having already cemented himself as one of Arizona's all-time leading rushers. The senior from Fresno, California is currently eighth all-time at Arizona with 2,637 rushing yards on 470 carries. Against Utah, Wilson had 45 yards on 13 carries and passed David Adams for eighth all-time at Arizona in rushing yards. The senior then had 42 yards on 11 carries against Colorado. Wilson passed Clarence Farmer on the all-time list with his 39 yards against UTEP in Week 3. With a 1,000-yard season, Wilson could climb to as high as fourth all-time at Arizona. Wilson has 28 career rushing touchdowns to his credit, which is tied with Nic Grigsby for third all-time in school history. Wilson rushed for a freshman-record 1,375 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2014 and has battled injuries the past two seasons, being held to 189 carries over two years. His ability certainly hasn't dipped, however, as he still has averaged 5.5 yards per carry. For his career, Wilson is averaging 5.6 yards per carry. He's also proven to be a capable pass catcher with 19 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown in his career. 

Wow, Wolma: True freshman Bryce Wolma has made quite an impression so far this season for the Wildcats at the tight end position. Wolma has played in all five games, but didn't notch his first reception until Week 2 versus Houston. Against the Cougars, Wolma had five catches for 38 yards, providing an active target for quarterback Brandon Dawkins. He upped his production against UTEP, grabbing six balls for 41 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown catch from Dawkins. Wolma, from Saline, Michigan, had four catches for 29 yards against Utah, including a career-best 18-yard reception. He stretched his streak with a catch to four games against Colorado with two catches for 17 yards. Both of those receptions came from Khalil Tate for the first time this season. Through five games, Wolma's 17 receptions are second on the team to Shun Brown's 18, and he's third in yards with 125. Wolma has helped fill the void left by Trevor Wood, who missed two games before returning against Utah. Wolma is averaging 7.4 yards per catch and 25 yards a game. 
 
All of the Starts: Experience certainly won't be an issue for the big boys up front for the Wildcats this season. The Arizona offensive line features six players who have started at least four games each. All total, the Wildcats have 115 career starts and 147 games played returning among their top six linemen. Redshirt senior right guard Jacob Alsadek leads the way with 40 career games played and 38 starts. Senior left tackle Layth Friekh has 31 career games and 26 starts to his credit. Another senior, Gerhard De Beer, has played in 27 games over the past three seasons with 15 starts. Additionally, redshirt sophomore Nathan Eldridge started all 12 games at center last year, while fellow redshirt sophomore Cody Creason has 17 games and six starts on his resume. Finally, redshirt junior Christian Boettcher has played in 17 games with 12 starts. Last season, Eldridge became the first UA freshman to start at center since Blake Kerley in 2006. Both players went on to start all 12 games that season. The big boys up front helped Arizona rush for 1,017 yards total against Arizona State in the 2016 season finale and NAU in the 2017 season opener, which is a two-game program record. Behind the line, Arizona is rushing for 319.4 yards per game this season, good for fourth in the country.
 
More on Magee: Since arriving at Arizona prior to the 2012 season with Rich Rodriguez, running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator Calvin Magee has proven to be one of the top assistant coaches in the country. In Magee's now five-plus seasons with Arizona, the Wildcats have rushed for 13,925 rushing yards and have never been worse than 41^st in the country in rushing offense. The Cats surpassed the 13,000-yard mark against Houston. Magee and the Cats have had success, no matter the personnel. In 2012 and 2013, Magee mentored All-American Ka'Deem Carey as he shattered the Arizona record books. In 2014, current Wildcat Nick Wilson had the finest freshman season in school history and is himself climbing the record books now as a senior. In 2015 and 2016, Magee had to navigate various injuries, but still saw Arizona produce 2,886 rushing yards in 2015 and 2,820 yards last year with converted wide receiver Samajie Grant starting at running back the last handful of games. Through four games this season, Arizona is fourth in the country in rushing, averaging 319.4 yards per game. Quarterback Khalil Tate leads the team with 413 yards – 327 of which were gained against Colorado. Brandon Dawkins, J.J. Taylor and Nick Wilson all have more than 200 yards on the season.

Touchdown Tony: In his fourth year in the program, redshirt junior wide receiver Tony Ellison has emerged as a serious threat for the Arizona offense. Through five games, Ellison leads Arizona in receiving yards with 242. He has 15 catches, which is third on the team, and two touchdown catches, which is tied for the most on the Cats. Ellison, who had just three catches for 32 yards in his first two seasons with the Wildcats, hauled in his second touchdown of the season and his career against Utah. A week later against Colorado, Ellison had a 60-yard reception from Khalil Tate in the fourth quarter. Ellison also had a 43-yard touchdown catch in the season opener versus NAU, which was Arizona's longest pass play of the season until the 60-yard reception against the Buffaloes. Ellison is averaging 16.1 yards per catch on the season, which leads the Wildcats. He's averaging 48.4 yards per game, which is also tops in the program.
 
Fields' Field: True freshman linebacker Tony Fields II is Arizona's leading tackler through five games with 34 total stops. He has 20 unassisted tackles and 14 assists so far for the Wildcats. Fields also has three sacks on the year, totaling one in each of the past three games. His sack streak started at UTEP, where he had four total tackles and a sack. The following week against Utah, Fields had six tackles and a sack. And then Saturday against Colorado, in his first-ever Pac-12 road game, Fields had a career-high 11 tackles and totaled another sack to extend his streak to three games. On top of being Arizona's leading tackler, Fields is also the leader in sacks and is tied for the team lead in tackles-for-loss with three.
 
Jumpin' Jace: Junior cornerback Jace Whittaker started his 12^th straight game Saturday night at Colorado and continues to establish himself as a force for the Wildcats. Whittaker had three pass breakups against the Buffaloes and leads the Wildcats with six on the season. He's fifth in the Pac-12 in both pass breakups and passes defended. No other Wildcat has more than two pass breakups on the season. For his career, Whittaker has 21 pass breakups and is just three away from entering the Top 15 all-time at Arizona. Martin Rudolph is currently 15^th at Arizona with 24. Whittaker has 15 tackles on the season, including a ½ for a loss.
 
Miller Time: Arizona welcomed back a friendly face against Colorado when senior linebacker/defensive end DeAndre' Miller made his season debut. Miller suffered a preseason foot injury and missed Arizona's first four games of the season. However, he returned against Colorado had had four tackles in the first game of his senior season. Miller entered his final year with 79 total tackles, 14 tackles-for-loss and five sacks. The matchup with Colorado marked his 37^th career game played
 
A Dane-dy Start: Prior to the season, senior Dane Cruikshank moved positions, switching from the boundary cornerback spot to the "Spur" safety spot for the Wildcats. The senior from Chino Hills, California embraced the move and was named a captain for Arizona's season opener versus NAU. The position change seems to have agreed with Cruikshank, who started all 12 games for the Wildcats a year ago. Cruikshank had six solo tackles, one tackle-for-loss and a forced fumble versus Houston. It was the second solo tackle-for-loss of his career and first forced fumble. Cruikshank then had two tackles, and another half tackle-for-loss against UTEP in another strong showing. Against Utah, Cruikshank again combined on a tackle-for-loss with defensive lineman Finton Connolly. He then had five tackles against Colorado. Cruikshank didn't have any tackles-for-loss in his first 11 games as a Wildcat, but has three over his last six games after notching one in last year's season finale against Arizona State. Cruikshank has 20 tackles in four games for the Wildcats this season.
