Grading Arizona football’s performance in win at West Virginia

Arizona football delivered a high-octane performance in a 52-31 victory over West Virginia, extending their winning streak to four games and marking their best start since 2014 under head coach Brent Brennan. The Wildcats’ offense dominated from the opening drive, with quarterback Noah Fifita leading the charge, completing 16 of 23 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns.

Running back Isaiah Mizell emerged as the standout, hauling in six catches for 183 yards and two touchdowns, including a game-sealing 72-yard touchdown reception. Antwan Roberts Jr.

also contributed significantly with 63 rushing yards and a touchdown, while Quincy Craig scored his first career touchdown on a 40-yard run. The defense, graded as solid but not elite, limited West Virginia’s early scoring threats, with tackles for loss by Malcolm Hartzog Jr.

and Kevin Moorer Jr. playing a key role in stifling the Mountaineers’ first drive of the game.

Arizona’s explosive offensive plays, including a 48-yard pass to Mizell and a 42-yard trick-play touchdown to Brandon Phelps, propelled them to their highest point total of the season, securing a commanding lead by halftime.
