Arizona's offense hummed all night on Saturday, posting 673 yards in its 43-20 win over Colorado at Arizona Stadium.
UA quarterback Jayden de Laura tied Tom Tunnicliffe's single-game program record of six touchdowns, completing 33 of 46 passes for 484 yards. De Laura's top targets were Jacob Cowing, who had 12 catches for 180 yards — 148 after the catch — and a touchdown, and Dorian Singer, who finished with nine receptions for 163 yards and a touchdown — his first-career score. The Wildcats had 36 first downs and averaged 8.1 yards per play against the Buffaloes.
