- Game breakdown: * Heisman candidate QB Noah Fifita has thrown for 75 touchdowns and 9,462 yards in his collegiate career, marks that rank tied for first and third among active FBS quarterbacks, respectively.

- Arizona LB Chase Kennedy says the defense must be more physical against BYU after allowing 258 rushing yards in last season's meeting. He described the NAU opener as a good start with details still to fix. The prior rushing total is context for this week's preparation, not evidence of a newly announced defensive scheme. - Kennedy praised Arizona LB Cooper Blomstrom's range, versatility and physical play in the NAU opener, saying his improvement had been visible since spring. That is a teammate's assessment supporting Blomstrom's development, rather than a reported promotion, new starting assignment or measured snap-share increase.

- Game breakdown: Unsure if this point has been hit yet, but I feel it is also key to the game.

- KICKER: Great write up, but special teams needs some flowers for its improvement.

- RB/LB: Arizona defeated NAU in the season opener and it did not take long for the Wildcats to turn their attention to Saturday's matchup at BYU.

- OL/LB: There were too many missed tackles by the secondary.

- DB: "It was a big moment for me, but I was locked in on tonight's game." — Arizona safety Quinn Olson, on being put on scholarship

- Arizona coach Brent Brennan said the offense moved the ball well in the first half with Noah Fifita on rhythm, effective rushing, and visible team physicality. - Brennan said Arizona lost some second-half offensive rhythm, but the defense responded with two three-and-outs and special teams produced high-level execution from Chase Ridley. - Brennan praised Noah Fifita's efficiency after a 22-for-29, 262-yard, two-touchdown game and said Arizona expects that high level of consistency to continue. - Arizona started Lee Molette over Gavin Hunter, but Brennan said the spot is still day-to-day and week-to-week because multiple players can be trusted there. - Quinn Olson earned his first career start at safety days after receiving a scholarship and immediately made an interception, while backup quarterback Sawyer Anderson gained valuable fourth-quarter reps.

- WR/DL: Thought the offense looked good but kinda stalled out.

- Pick/market: They weren’t good, Jason.
