Arizona Rolls Iowa State 39-3 Behind 479 Yards
Thirty-nine to three. Arizona did not make this one complicated. It scored on the first scoring play of the game, a 71-yard touchdown from Noah Fifita to Isaiah Mizell at 14:29 of the first quarter, and Iowa State never got closer than 12.
The Wildcats had 479 total yards to the Cyclones' 221, threw for 336 and ran for 143, and did not turn it over. Iowa State lost a fumble and managed one field goal, a 40-yarder from Kyle Konrardy at 1:06 of the first quarter that made it 3-15. Then nothing, for the rest of the day. Fifita was 27 of 34 for 308 yards, nearly 80 percent completions, and the ground game added 143 more without a single giveaway.
Arizona kept scoring from every angle. Quincy Craig ran in from 6 yards, Michael Salgado-Medina hit a 53-yard field goal, and Kedrick Reescano added a 5-yard run before halftime to make it 25-3. After a quiet third quarter, Henry Gabalis caught a 40-yard touchdown from Fifita at 6:41 of the fourth, and Sawyer Anderson ran one in from 4 yards with 1:55 left. Gabalis also threw the two-point conversion pass in the first quarter, to Tyler Powell, so he had a touchdown catch and an assist on the same day.
Arizona is 6-1 and Iowa State is 3-4. Mizell (27.4 points on 8 catches for 134 yards) and Fifita (26.1) were the fantasy winners, and Quincy Craig's 13.6 was a season high. If you had them, you had a good Saturday. If you had an Iowa State offense, I am sorry.
