Spears’ No. 2:Northern Arizona upsets Arizona in Jedd Fisch's inaugural season as head coach
The Wildcats lost to NAU. The FCS school the UA pays to come to Tucson to play. The school the UA hadn’t lost to since 1932. The defeat extended Arizona’s school-record losing streak to 15 games. It’s the longest losing streak in the nation, and it’s hard to find any likely victories on the horizon. The Wildcats open Pac-12 play next week at No. 4 Oregon.
"It's embarrassing," said veteran receiver Stanley Berryhill III, who had a game-high 11 catches for 94 yards."You don't want to lose to what most people consider your little brother up north. NAU is an FCS school, and they're a great school. But it's been 15-1, now 15-2, in the last 17 ." By the numbers: 363, yards of total offense Arizona had to NAU's 240. Arizona quarterbacks Will Plummer and Jordan McCloud passed for 257 yards, while NAU backup freshman quarterback RJ Martinez completed 11 of 16 passes for 88 yards, one touchdown and an interception.
