As of December 6, 2016; Rankings from AP Poll

The 2016 Arizona Wildcats football team represented the University of Arizona in the 2016 season. The season was the Wildcats's 117th overall, 39th as a member of the Pac-12 Conference, and its sixth within the Pac-12 South Division. The team played their home games at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona. They were led by fifth-year head coach Rich Rodriguez. They finished the season 3–9, 1–8 in Pac-12 play to finish in last place in the South Division.

Previous season and offseason

The Arizona Wildcats finished the 2015 season with a 7–6 (3–6 Pac-12) record, fifth in the Pac-12 standings (behind with co-Pac-12 South Champions USC and Utah and behind with UCLA and Arizona State) and as the 2015 New Mexico Bowl Champions. Despite a plague of injuries on offense and defense, with over 23 starters missing significant playing time due to injury and 30 freshmen seeing meaningful playing time, head coach Rich Rodriguez led the Wildcats to a 7+ win season for the 2nd time and a bowl game for the 4th time in his 4th as the Arizona head coach. The Wildcats concluded their season with an improbable victory at the 2015 New Mexico Bowl against New Mexico; 45–37 victory over the Lobos.

First Meeting

Arizona played their home opener against Grambling State, which was the Wildcats' first home game since the 2011–2013's expansion to over 56,000 in Tucson. This was the first-ever meeting between the two teams. (Arizona attempted to hire legendary longtime Grambling head coach Eddie Robinson in 1968, which would have made him the first African American head coach of a NCAA Division I-A football program at a predominantly White college, but Robinson declined the offer.[15])

Grambling opened the 2015 season in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and finished the 2015 season with a 9–3 (6–0 SWAC) record and ranked #21 in the final regular season FCS poll, with a 73-14 loss at Cal. The Tigers then lost to Bethune-Cookman before winning nine straight games to reach the SWAC championship game, which they lost to Alcorn State.

Brandon Dawkins, starting after Anu Solomon hurt his knee during practice Wednesday, ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, all in the second half, and Arizona rallied from an 18-point deficit and escaped with a 31-21 victory.

The Wildcats (1-1), 45-point favorites, trailed 21-3 at halftime and looked in danger of their first-ever loss to an FCS school.

But the Tigers (1-1), who lost quarterback DeVante Kincade (a transfer from Ole Miss) to injury late in the first half, committed six second-half turnovers, four of them in a row in the third quarter. Backup Trevon Cherry threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball away once.

Dawkins, a redshirt sophomore, completed 15 of 29 passes for 223 yards and gained 97 yards in 16 carries. He scored on runs of 21 and 2 yards and threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Trey Griffey. Nick Wilson rushed for 116 yards, including an 11-yard TD run.

Kincade completed 15 of 19 passes for 193 yards and two scores before leaving with a leg injury with 2:38 to play in the second quarter. Grambling's Chad Williams caught 13 passes for 152 yards. (Kincade was once a highly ranked three-star prospect, the composite 14th-best dual-threat QB in the nation. He ended up going to Ole Miss, spending two years with the Rebels (11 games, 37 rushes, 35 passing attempts), but transferred to Grambling after the 2015 season.[16])

Cody Ippolito recovered two fumbles, both leading to Arizona touchdowns; later in the fourth quarter, Ippolito was ejected after the officials ruled that he targeted Cherry. Ippolito's helmet contacted Cherry's chin after he released a pass.

The Tigers took the opening kickoff and went 81 yards in seven plays, Kincade throwing a 2-yard touchdown pass to Verlan Hunter.

The Wildcats had Grambling pinned in a third-and-29 situation at the Tigers 17 when Kincade threw short to Martez Carter, who raced down the sideline 49 yards to the 34. Six plays later, Kincade threw 26 yards to Devohn Lindsey for a touchdown that made it 14-0 with 11:55 left in the half.

Dawkins’ 42-yard run highlighted a drive to the Grambling 6 but, on fourth-and-1, Wilson was hit in the backfield and fumbled the ball away.

A 70-yard pass from Dawkins to Samajie Grant led to Arizona's only first-half points, Josh Pollock's 31-yard field goal.

Arizona improved to 5-0 in home openers under coach Rodriguez. "I just love stress," he said. "Let's have a stressful game against a I-AA. Give them credit. Their coaching staff did a great job. They played really hard. Their skill players, particularly their quarterback and their running back, were every bit as good as I thought. They outplayed us for a large part of the game…At halftime, I wasn’t going to scream and yell…We just challenged them to see what they’re made of a little bit. Go out and execute, take pride in our conditioning. It was a battle the whole day."

Grambling's legendary World Famed Tiger Band performed with the Arizona marching band for the National Anthem, and also during the halftime show in Tucson. Both bands famously performed for the first NFL Super Bowl in 1967.
