Arizona football down 4 offensive starters for trip to West Virginia

Arizona football will be fielding four offensive starters short when they travel to West Virginia for their upcoming game. Last weekend, the Wildcats were able to overcome the loss of all three starting wide receivers and emerge victorious against Cincinnati. However, the upcoming matchup will be played in a challenging environment.

Receivers Chris Hunter and Gio Richardson are expected to take on the role of starters for Saturday's game, as reported by the Big 12 availability report. Both players were injured in the first half of Arizona's 34-7 win against Cincinnati, while wideout Tre Spivey had already been ruled out for the season due to a foot injury. Tight end Cole Rusk is also absent from the lineup, as he will miss his third consecutive game after getting hurt against Northern Illinois in the previous matchup.

Tyler Powell, who has been starting at tight end for the last two games, is likely to remain in the lineup on Saturday. Arizona is expected to field Isaiah Mizell, Brandon Phelps, and Rodney Gallagher at the three receiver positions, with freshmen RJ Mosley and Caleb 'Jet' Smith potentially getting more playing time. Additionally, transfers DJ Jordan and Jordan Ross may see some action as well.
