Arizona football rallies in fourth quarter to defeat North Dakota State; Wildcats improve to 2-1
Arizona proved how far it has come under Jedd Fisch on Saturday night.
NDSU tried to bully Arizona and often succeeded. But the Wildcats stood tall when they had to and won a game they wouldn’t have won last season. Arizona responded with a 75-yard TD march. De Laura converted a third-and-13 via a 23-yard pass to Dorian Singer. The Wildcats’ freshman running backs took it from there. Rayshon Luke ripped off a career-long 28-yard run to the NDSU 2. Jonah Coleman then plunged across the goal line to give Arizona a 24-21 edge.
The Wildcats desperately needed a stop, and the defense delivered. Jerry Roberts and Jalen Harris combined to stuff QB Cole Payton on fourth-and-2 from the UA 23. After the Wildcats failed to convert a fourth down from their 33, the Bison were in position to take the lead. But on second-and-goal from the 5, Hunter Echols sacked Miller, forcing him to fumble. Roberts recovered the ball at the UA 17. The takeaway was Arizona’s sixth of the season, matching its total from 2021.
