Jayden de Laura accounted for four touchdowns, Davis returned Uiagalelei’s blocked field goal 85 yards for a score and Arizona opened the season a 38-3 win over Northern Arizona on Saturday night.
TUCSON, Arizona — Arizona’s rash of mistakes left the door open for Northern Arizona to pull off another desert upset.“You’re going in there, a one-score game, and all sudden they block it and run it back for a touchdown,” Northern Arizona coach Chris Ball said. “That hurts.”
Sparked by Davis’ return, Arizona turned an 11-point halftime lead to 32 by the end of the third quarter. De Laura punctuated the outburst with a 53-yard TD run, nearly losing his balance before racing up the sideline. “I think that showed up a little bit that we need to clear up and we will we certainly will, but I don’t think there was any question that they played with an incredible passion and energy tonight at all three phases,” Fisch said.Northern Arizona’s 21-19 win in 2021 was its first over a Pac-12 opponent and extended Arizona’s losing streak to 15 games, which would later reach 20.
Arizona got off to a good start, scoring on a 4-yard TD pass from de Laura to Jacob Cowing. Johah Coleman made it 14-0 by breaking a tackle and reaching for the pylon on a 7-yard touchdown catch.The Wildcats turned the ball over on downs at NAU’s 35-yard line and de Laura lost a fumble inside NAU’s 20-yard line.
