According to the UA football program's Twitter account, Rich Rodriguez's squad will don red helmets for the first time since the 1980 season as part of a university-wide initiative to "Redout" Arizona Stadium.

Back in June, Anthony Gimino of The Tucson Citizen inquired about the use of red helmets, after backup quarterback B.J. Denker tweeted out a picture of one following a summer practice.
Athletic director Greg Byrne apparently was playing it close to the vest:

The Wildcats have been all about introducing new helmet colors into their home wardrobe. In a 38-35 loss to Oregon State on September 29, UA elected to wear copper helmets for the first time.
