Younger Pfaff joining Wildcats as a safety

Doug Pfaff earned his way into UA football history in 1989 when he kicked game-winning field goals in the last minute to beat No. 3 Oklahoma 6-3 and No. 11 Washington 20-17. The transfer from El Camino College in California was outstanding at Arizona; he made 26 of 36 field goal attempts and was 42-for-42 on extra points. Last week, he and his wife, Christina, posed for a graduation picture in Tyler, Texas, with their son, Blake Pfaff, who will join Arizona’s football team in July. Blake is a safety. All three were wearing Arizona gear. Doug is now a health care manager in Texas.
