When you have a quarterback, you have a chance.
Arizona has a quarterback, and therefore the Wildcats have a chance.
Jayden de Laura’s performance Saturday against North Dakota State was as impressive as it was necessary. Had the reigning Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year not played as well as he did then quite simply, Arizona would have lost the game.
De Laura’s effort doesn’t exactly jump out on the box score, with him completing 20 of 28 passes for 229 yards and one touchdown while adding 50 yards and a TD on 10 rushing attempts, but anyone who watched the game saw a confident, talented passer.
