Wildcats' Lopez wants to 'make new memories' in 2015
I asked UA senior safety Anthony Lopez how many times he has watched the replay of his 25-yard touchdown in last year’s Territorial Cup, and he said “just a few.” What? It was Lopez’s first college touchdown. It came after Scooby Wright sacked ASU quarterback Taylor Kelly and forced a fumble. It was the play of a lifetime for a kid from Gilbert Mesquite High School. “If I want to be effective this year, I’ve got to play well enough to make new memories,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of work to do.” Well said. Lopez scored 25 touchdowns as a high school junior, a running back, and chose Arizona over Oregon State. Why didn’t he stay home at ASU? “I never went to an ASU game in my life,” he said.
