2024 Arizona football season countdown: 1 day to kickoff
A LOOK BACK — NO. 1 BRUCE HILL. With it being 1 day until kickoff between the Lobos and Wildcats, the best player for Arizona to wear No. 1 was quarterback Bruce Hill, who played for Arizona from 1973-75. Hill was added to Arizona’s Ring of Honor at Arizona Stadium last season. Hill was the Western Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year in 1973, Back of the Year in 1975, and made the All-WAC First Team squad in his final season. His long list of accomplishments led to his induction into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame in 1981. When his collegiate career ended in 1975, he stood as the Arizona career record holder with 5,090 passing yards, 45 touchdowns, and 6,054 yards of total offense, all records that remained intact for eight years and still rank among the top 12 in program history. The 1975 Wildcats team, captained and quarterbacked by Hill and led by head coach Jim Young, finished the year with a 9-2 record, a mark of 5-2 in WAC play, and a No. 18 ranking in the final Associated Press Poll. Over the course of Hill’s career, the quarterback helped steer Arizona to 20 weeks ranked in the AP Top 20. One of Hill’s most impressive performances came in a 1975 game against New Mexico, in which he threw for a then-school record 406 yards and set the program’s single-game record with 451 yards of total offense. Both marks from that game remain in the Arizona Football all-time top 20. Over the course of his three-year career Hill led the Wildcats to a record of 26-7, including a 17-4 record in WAC play, and snapped a nine-game Territorial Cup losing streak for Arizona with a 10-0 victory in front of 40,782 Arizona fans in Tucson in 1974. Hill played briefly in the Canadian Football League before returning to his alma mater Los Angeles Fremont High School to teach U.S. History while also being the head coach at his alma mater.
