Pertinent factoids, words and numbers from the Cats' setback against the Bulldogs.
Michael Lev The Arizona Wildcats lost to Mississippi State 39-17 in the home opener Saturday night at Arizona Stadium. Here are some pertinent notes, quotes and statistics from the UA’s upset victory:
* Arizona’s 40 net rushing yards marked its lowest total since Oct. 29, 2011, when the Wildcats had 36 rushing yards against Washington. * Cowing has four touchdown receptions through two games, matching last year’s leader in that category, Michael Wiley. * Cornerback Treydan Stukes’ interception in the second quarter was the first of his career. Stukes was on a snap count coming off an injury and didn’t record any other stats.
Fisch on Jaxen Turner’s forced fumble and return: “That was everything that we ask them to do. We ask them to lawnmower the football, which is just get your hand in there and rip it out. He did it tremendously. The ball was loose on the ground, he scooped it up and ran it all the way back. Jaxen does that. He's got a great feel for the ball. He almost had a pick today. Had a pick last week. Took the ball away that time. I appreciate his efforts every day.
