(Editor’s note: Since the Pac-12 is not playing football this fall, we’re going to simulate all 12 games on Arizona’s original schedule on NCAA Football 14 and recap them on the dates they were supposed to be played. Enjoy!)
Knowing they were overmatched in the trenches, Arizona made its game plan against Stanford very clear on its opening drive.
It was throw, throw and throw some more.
Sophomore quarterback Grant Gunnell completed 11 of 12 passes on Arizona’s opening drive—which culminated with a one-yard Gary Brightwell touchdown run—and went on to complete 44 of 56 passes for 437 yards, three touchdowns and an interception as the Wildcats staved off Stanford 27-20 at Arizona Stadium to move to 2-1 on the season.
