Friday Hangover: Reaction, players of the game, more after Wildcats defeat

If Gregory is counted on to be Wright’s main replacement at middle linebacker – the UA could also move Turituri over – he will be taking over for a guy who played 97 percent of Arizona’s snaps last season, according to Pro Football Focus. Last season, the linebacker proved that he may in fact be the best defensive player in the nation, recording an absurd 163 tackles with 14 sacks.

You’ve seen a ton of reports ragarding Scooby Wright’s injury. The game will feature a returning quarterback to the Wildcats who look to guide his team to a dominant win as they kick off their NCAA football season. Head coach Rich Rodriguez told reporters that he wasn’t sure how long Wright would be out. “We’ll see what happens”.

The Roadrunners nearly upset the Wildcats at the Alamo Dome last season.

The offense was good at times, sputtered others, finished with a pedestrian-for-them 392 total yards.

“We can learn a lot from this game”, said UTSA defensive end Jason Neill. “But everyone is happy and it’s on to the next one”. Despite a bigger win in 2013 against UTSA, Arizona will still not take tonight’s opponents lately.

Wright, cornerback Cam Denson and cornerback Sammy Morrison were injured at various points in Thursday night’s game.

“This fall, Coach Rod preached that we needed more turnovers on defense, so we raked out the ball a lot during fall camp and that translated to today’s game”, Allah said. Those areas can be fixed.

The Roadrunners have given Arizona a bit of trouble over the past couple of seasons, playing two close games. The Arizona football program will be looking to start their season on a good note against a widely inexperienced UTSA team compared to the group they played a year ago in San Antonio. The Roadrunners have just six starters back, two on offense and four on defense.

In terms of major stories heading into the game, it’s the first time in four seasons a starting quarterback will return for the Wildcats.

But they stored churning out yards, notably after Wright went out. Bogenschutz set up Portillo for a 19-yard field goal, then threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to David Morgan II. “I think it is because of all the unknowns and because we have not played a game or we have not judged ourselves against anybody”.

In the fourth, Solomon connected with Cayleb Jones for a 4-yard score to increase the Wildcat lead to 42-26.
