Arizona receiver Juron Criner underwent an appendectomy on Monday and will be out for several weeks. “Doing great. Hopes to be back for Pac-12 opener. Week to week, " an Arizona team spokesman said of Criner's recovery.

Obviously this is a little more serious than just a head cold. With Criner out, someone will need to step up to be the Wildcats deep ball threat. This is a good opportunity for Gino Crump, Dan Buckner or Austin Hill to fill that role. Inside receivers David Douglas and David Roberts could also see a boost.
