Watch: Arizona Wildcats eager to bounce back in home opener against NAU

UA football focused to get rid of sour taste with Lumberjacks in town

The Arizona Wildcats will host the NAU Lumberjacks Saturday at Arizona Stadium, and while the UA dropped its season opener to Hawaii, it can still bounce back and avoid back-to-back home-opening losses under head coach Kevin Sumlin. 

On Tuesday, a handful of Wildcats spoke to the media to reflect on the Hawaii loss and preview what's to come with NAU. The list: Tucson native Stanley Berryhill, kicker Lucas Havrisik, defensive end Jalen Harris, offensive tackle Donovan Laie and junior college transfer Tayvian Cunningham. 

Check out what the Wildcats had to say.

How tall is JuCo transfer Tayvian Cunningham? 5-7? 5-9? 5-11? “Whatever they say. On the football field, I’m definitely 6-foot.” pic.twitter.com/nyfytQ2oUn
