Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita set the program career passing touchdown record on Saturday against Cincinnati. Fifita threw his 68th career TD pass on a 15-yard completion to true freshman Gio Richardson in the fourth quarter. The record was previously held by Nick Foles and Wliie Tuitama with 67 career TD passes.
The record-setting TD pass came on third down and second to extend the Arizona lead to 27-17. Fifita set the record on his 20th completion and 28th attempt against Cincinnati for 271 yards with the sole TD and no interceptions.
Fifita threw his 66th career TD pass to get within one of the Arizona record on a 16-yard completion to tight end Sam Olson in the first quarter to put Arizona up 7-0 against Kansas last week.
