Arizona Wildcats and N Arizona football game: TV channel live stream
In between Arizona’s scoring drives, Cookus threw his first interception on his 54th career pass. With Northern Arizona trailing and the Big Sky Conference season opening next week at Montana, the freshman was replaced by Kyren Poe to start the second half and finished the game 8 of 13 for 190 yards, with a touchdown and the interception.
LOPSIDED SERIES: Arizona is 12-1 against its smaller in-state rival, winning the last 11 games.
Fun Fact, four different Arizona quarterbacks scored tonight: Anu Solomon, Jerrard Randall (twice), Brandon Dawkins and Zach Werlinger. The senior caught eight passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns.
So here’s how we see the game playing out, and well, I guess none of us think it will be close.
Arizona wide receiver Samajie Grant (10) catches a touchdown pass in front of Northern Arizona cornerback Delvin Batiste during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, September 19, 2015, in Tucson, Ariz.
Player of the game: We’ll name two – Solomon and Wilson.
Arizona scored 63 straight points after the Lumberjacks (2-1) cut the Wildcats’ lead to 14-13 in the second quarter. While comparing defenses, the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks own the league’s No. 0 rank in terms of road run defense, allowing 0.0 yards per game. NAU coach Jerome Souers is in his 18th season in Flagstaff, the longest-tenured coach in NAU football. UCLA – also a victor Saturday night – is next on Arizona’s slate. The Wildcats debuted a new formation at the goal line in the second quarter, with Wilson, Green and fullback Jamadre Cobb all in the backfield, and a Green block helped spur Wilson for a 1-yard score. The Lumberjacks in turn are 2-0 and unranked this week.
It didn’t look like a record-breaking night early. However, a pair of penalties cost the Lumberjacks 20 yards and Cookus’ runs of 9 and 17 yards just missed picking up a first down.
The high-speed Arizona offense took off from there. He has 27 yards rushing in three carries, no touchdown runs.
Woodrum completed 16 of 30 passes to become the second Liberty quarterback and third in Big South Conference history to surpass 8,000 yards. The Wildcats gave up an average of 21.5 yards on returns which is a concern.
This week, the Wildcats play host to the visiting Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, who are an undefeated FCS program.
