Arizona football countdown: 41 days, and a 41-yard Jared Baker receiving touchdown

The bright spot of the USC game

Last year's USC game is probably one that most Arizona Wildcats fans want to forget, but there was certainly a bright spot.

Jared Baker was forced to take over at running back, and he made the most of it, scoring three touchdowns, including a great 41-yard reception on a wheel route.

This game gives me hope that Arizona has real depth at running back again this year. Nick Wilson's injury history is well-documented, and there may come a time during Arizona's 12 games in 12 weeks schedule that Jared Baker will have to take over the workload.

Baker also impressed during the Spring Game, putting up two hard-fought touchdowns that night. He showed that he not only has great ability in the open field, but also proved that he can flat-out run over dudes if he needs to.

For right now, this is the highlight of Baker's collegiate career. But if I had to guess, he will do a couple things this year that will top it.
