Alright, so I wanted to get my hands on the University of Arizona football depth chart the other day. You know how it is, gotta see who’s lining up where, especially before a big game.
First thing I did, obviously, was hop on my computer. Opened up my usual web browser. Nothing fancy.
I went straight to the search bar and typed in something like “university of arizona football depth chart”. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, sort of.
It gave me a whole bunch of stuff. News articles talking about position battles from weeks ago, fan forums guessing who might start, even some older charts from last season. Not exactly what I needed. I wanted the latest, the real deal if possible.
So, I figured, let’s try the official source. I searched specifically for the Arizona Wildcats athletics website. Found it quick enough. Looked clean.
Once I was on their site, I started poking around. Looked for the football section, naturally. Clicked on that. Then I scanned the menu. Saw stuff like “Roster,” “Schedule,” “News.”
Digging a bit deeper
I clicked on “Roster” first, but that just gave me the list of players, not the actual starter/backup order. Okay, not there.
Then I checked the “News” or “Headlines” section. Sometimes they put out an article previewing the upcoming game, and sometimes they bury the depth chart in there or link a PDF. Scrolled through the recent posts. Found the game preview, clicked it. Read through it… no chart directly embedded.
I started thinking, where else would they put this? Sometimes they call it “Game Notes”. I looked around the football section again, scanning for links like “Game Notes,” “Media Information,” or maybe something tied to the specific upcoming opponent.
It took a few clicks. I remember going back to the main football page and looking really closely at the options. Finally, I spotted a link, I think it was under the “Schedule” section or maybe a specific “Gameday Information” page for the next matchup. It wasn’t screaming “DEPTH CHART” in huge letters, more like tucked away.
Clicked that link, and boom, there it was. Usually, it’s a PDF file. Had the two-deep, sometimes three-deep, for offense, defense, and special teams. Exactly what I was looking for.
So yeah, it wasn’t just a single click and done. Had to navigate the official site a bit, try a few different sections. But going direct to the team’s athletics page was the way to go, rather than just relying on general search results. Got the info straight from the source. Took a few minutes, but got it done.
