ayden de Laura threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns, and Arizona's defense shut down UTEP for a 31-10 win.
TUCSON, Ariz. — One of Jedd Fisch's top priorities when he took over as Arizona's head coach was to rebuild one of the FBS' worst defenses.
“I'm really, really proud of the way our defense is playing,” Arizona coach Jedd Fisch said."Our defense is really stepping up." “I just let them make plays,” de Laura said. “I don't need to do too much. That's what we saw on the film.” Arizona looked sharp offensively on a closing 57-yard drive, capped by Michael Wiley's 3-yard touchdown run.“We gave up some yards, but the points were good,” UTEP coach Dana Dimel said. “We did a good job of bending not breaking, but the offense needed to have more success to take some stress off the defense.”Its offense unable to do much of anything against Arizona, UTEP's defense broke down against the Wildcats' offense in the second half.
“We got worn down,” Dimel said. “It's a very explosive offense and we've got to hold the ball more. That's what we do.”McMillan had an early candidate for catch of the year with his spectacular one-handed grab in the second quarter.
