Brent Brennan and the Arizona Wildcats took care of business at home against Northern Illinois on Saturday night, 42-17, to move to 2-1 on the year.
After an alarmingly slow start, which had the Wildcats down 10-0 six minutes into the game, Arizona tightened up on both sides of the ball, rattled off 42 unanswered points, and coasted to victory on a night when Noah Fifita broke the program’s all-time record for career passing yards.
The win gets UA back on the right track after an agonizing Week 2 loss at BYU, and keeps the Wildcats firmly in position to play in a quality bowl game this winter.
