TUCSON – Noah Fifita threw five touchdown passes in a game for the 4th time in his career as the Arizona Wildcats beat the Oklahoma State Cowboys 41-13 at Arizona Stadium.
And in so doing, Fifita moved up into a 3rd place tie with Khalil Tate for a career touchdown passes (57) at Arizona.
In this 5th edition this season of Wildcat Breakdown, Wildcats Radio 1290 program director David Kelly and tight end Glenn Howell (UA ’85) discuss the how Tre Spivey has become a security blanket for Fifita and the offense in the red zone, the sudden departure of tight end Keyan Burnett, the man-zone concepts being utilized by the defense to take the air out of opposing offenses passing games and D.K. and Glenn hand out their game balls.
This is the 16th season of Wildcat Breakdown and third on Wildcats Radio 1290. The segment aired on television here in Southern Arizona on FOX 11 KMSB (2011-18) and KVOA News 4 Tucson (2019-22) for 12 years.
Kelly is joined by tight end Glenn Howell (UA ’85), a local strength and conditioning coach. The two began their relationship of analyzing the Cats in 2010 when D.K. was the anchor for the Arizona Wildcats Radio Network and Howell was a TV sideline reporter for the UA football games produced by Arizona IMG College.
