Arizona’s defense has made significant strides in recent weeks; plus: Shaun Aguano’s motivational tactics and the Wildcats’ Biletnikoff Award snubs.
Michael Lev The Arizona Wildcats are playing their best defensive football of the season at just the right time.
Fisch took it back to the second half of the Utah game on Nov. 5. The Wildcats yielded 17 points over the final 30 minutes. Counting only scores surrendered by the defense, Arizona has allowed 69 points over those 10 quarters. That translates to just under 28 per game. For the season, the Wildcats are allowing 36.6 points per contest, second most in the Pac-12.
“I also believe that they’ve just gotten better. It’s a true progression of a team with a first-year coordinator , first year that they’ve all been together, just continuing to get better.” “Two of our interceptions came from us making mistakes that we haven’t made all year,” Fisch said. “All in all, we weren’t good enough. We weren’t in sync, and we need to be better.”
Addison ranks 10th in the Pac-12 in receptions and eighth in yards . Singer ranks fourth in catches and leads the league in yards. Cowing paces the league in catches and ranks second in yards. Addison is tied for first in receiving touchdowns with UA freshman Tetairoa McMillan.
