Arizona football shakes off another slow start in easy win over UTEP

For the third straight game, Arizona’s offense took its time to get rolling. But thankfully the Wildcat defense also looked the same for the third game in a row.

The UA wrapped up nonconference play with a 31-10 win over UTEP on Saturday night at Arizona Stadium, its second easy victory at home this season.

Arizona (2-1) gained a season-high 544 yards, with 244 coming on the ground as Michael Wiley topped 1,500 rushing yards for his career and picked up his first touchdown of the season. Jayden de Laura threw three TD passes, completing 23 of 39 for 285 yards along with 33 rushing yards (and most importantly) zero turnovers.
