TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Noah Fifita threw for 376 yards in three quarters and hit Tre Spivey on two of his five touchdown passes, leading Arizona to a 41-13 rout of Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Coming off a 39-14 loss to No. 14 Iowa State, the Wildcats (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) bounced back with a strong performance on both sides of the ball to match their win total from last season and best start since 2019.
Anytime you can win a conference game, it builds momentum and we need that, Arizona coach Brent Brennan said.
Arizona racked up 478 total yards against one of the nation's worst defenses, led by Fifita's 28-of-38 passing. The Wildcats' defense corralled the Cowboys (1-4, 0-2) most of the afternoon, holding them to 158 total yards and seven first downs while forcing two turnovers.
