Arizona’s 2023 season got off to a great start on Saturday night with a 38-3 win over NAU. The Wildcats were able to avenge the embarrassing home loss to the Lumberjacks from two years ago while showing off a revamped defense, not to mention offensive efficiency and a big play on special teams.
“We’re getting better,” UA coach Jedd Fisch said afterwards. “We’re certainly getting better as a team. I mean, two years ago, we sat here against this team and didn’t have the same conversation. And it’s a testament to the way our assistant coaches that recruited, it’s a testament to the amount of players that we have that are young coming in that can contribute and were able to get in this game.
