Isaiah Mizell, Brandon Phelps step up as Arizona overcomes receiver injuries, make push for conference title

Arizona football maintained its Big 12 title hopes with a 52-31 victory over West Virginia at Milan Puskar Stadium, overcoming the loss of three primary wide receivers to injury. Quarterback Noah Fifita led the offense with 341 passing yards and three touchdowns, extending his season totals to 1,756 yards and 16 scores.

Sophomore Isaiah Mizell emerged as the top target, recording six receptions for 183 yards and two touchdowns, while Brandon Phelps contributed four catches for 88 yards and a score.

Head coach Brent Brennan attributed the offensive continuity to the deep chemistry Fifita developed with the entire receiving corps during offseason workouts. The win marks Arizona's fourth consecutive victory and sets a new season high for points scored, keeping the Wildcats in contention for a College Football Playoff spot despite their earlier setback against Cincinnati.
