After talking the talk all offseason, the Arizona Wildcats walked the walk on Saturday in their 38-20 season-opening win over San Diego State. They went 5 for 5 in the red zone — and 4 for 4 in the first half, courtesy of a 25-yard field goal by Tyler Loop, 17-yard pass from quarterback Jayden de Laura to Jacob Cowing, a 6-yard dart from de Laura to star freshman wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan and a goal-line pass to Cowing.
“It’s how you win football games,” Fisch said after the game. “If you go back in the test of time, the No. 1 stat is more points than the other team. The No. 2 stat is takeaways, so for us, the only way to score more points is to be better in the red area and to defend the red area better, which both things we did.” – Justin Spears
