- Pick/market: 2nd game of season in a difficult environment, I think we just need to figure out a better WR rotation.

- Pick/market: Arizona is up 17-14 at the half….

- Pick/market: Arizona with a near perfect opening drive, capped by Noah Fifita taking off for an 11-yard TD run Fifita was also 6 of 7 for 52 yards 7-0 Arizona (9:10/1st)

- Arizona recorded six sacks and held Northern Arizona to minus-7 rushing yards in its opener. That is an encouraging early disruption result under Danny Gonzales, but it came against an FCS opponent and does not establish the same production against Northern Illinois. - After nine wins in 2025, Arizona retained its head coach, both coordinators and starting quarterback Noah Fifita. The preview identifies that leadership continuity as a strength entering 2026; it does not report a new play-caller, quarterback change or confirmed plan to rest starters against NIU.

- Arizona gave all running-back carries against BYU to Kedrick Reescano and Quincy Craig. Brent Brennan cited their physical running against a bigger front, but said Antwan Roberts will get opportunities and the offense will need more backs. Ismail Mahdi's lack of carries was described as a game-flow decision, not an injury or permanent removal from the rotation. - Arizona receivers Tre Spivey and Chris Hunter have started slowly, according to the report.

- QB/RB: exactly, i posted this problem tre has had every year prior to the game.

- QB: Literally it’s the Dino Babers run game with Noah mixed in.

- QB: we all like noah, but a "fifth year qb" knowing we need 4 yds shouldn't throw it 3 yds.

- QB: i thought it was a late hit before we learned it also eliminated him from the game.

- Coaching: A rattled Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita came into the press conference after crying.

- WR: I know on the show you said that you had to find a way to ask Seth about the WR situation.

- LB: Buried in the depth chart right now there has to be ONE gamer at corner.

Ismail Mahdi's lack of carries was described as a game-flow decision, not an injury or permanent removal from the rotation. - Arizona receivers Tre Spivey and Chris Hunter have started slowly, according to the report. Brennan emphasized full-speed routes and executing each concept even when a receiver is not targeted; poor route execution compresses coverage and costs the passing game opportunities. He did not announce a receiver depth-chart change. - Arizona does not plan to force throws to get Noah Fifita the 320 yards needed for the school's career passing record. Brennan said game flow will determine in-game decisions, with keeping Fifita available throughout the season taking priority over chasing the milestone.

- Intel: Our coaching is fine and scheme seems to fit the personnel The problem is the talent level that the NIL can support is not suffiicent to compete at a high level.

- RB: Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, which has a location owned by Arizona running back Ismail Mahdi, is at Casino Del Sol Stadium for the UA-NIU game!

- WR: Brennan is one of the worst & most boring PR head coaches I’ve ever seen, so the more i think about it the more i actually agree with that

- LB/DB: sure the offense sucked the entire second half but in those last 8 minutes, when the game was decided, the defense also sucked.

- OL/LB: The O line will grow immensely from this.

- WR/TE: I don’t disagree, but I was responding to a post by that seemed to indicate the TEs were totally ignored, which is wrong.

- WR: This is encouraging to hear but both have to be on the field to make plays.

- OL: I feel like the hit rate on that throw is like 20% or less.

- OL/LB: I know it wasn’t in the Student Union but I still miss Fri., Sat.

- QB/WR: live i can get a sense of that, as i am up high and can survey the field.

- QB: Seriously: If the quick, small and shifty guys aren't strong enough to get off the jam on the line of scrimmage, they aren't getting open.

- QB/WR: I agree with this, and if you played any level of football, well at a high level, it's not hard to watch the game from a different perspective.

- RB/WR: Here’s what I’m looking for next week: WR rotations - Get the young guys real reps in what should be a blowout.

- OL/DL: i doubt it, but as i posted elsewhere, a lot of games seem like they could go either way at this point.

- WR: Great, then let's get some new blood running routes at WR and see who the gamers are.

- OL: O-line coaches and Danny have some work to do.

- Offense: well thank you, but I’m really very charming.

- Pick/market: i'll take their word for it, but it sure felt good when we had taller guys in the secondary.

- Defense: Bootle definitely needs to lose reps.

- Intel: Which is exactly what I like about being in the BIG XII.

- Intel: All the info you need to watch, listen to or follow online as Arizona football hosts Northern Illinois

- Intel: Legend says he's still in the portal somewhere

- Intel: First major college football game in London shaping up well.

- Intel: Arizona has one of the lowest annual budgets in the Big 12 and in college football, according to The Athletic.

- Intel: Arizona is a five-touchdown favorite against Northern Illinois, but the Wildcats aren't taking NIU lightly.

- Intel: Brent Brennan says the Protect College Sports Act “is a step in the right direction” and “having structure that makes it competitive across the board and levels the playing the field, I think is...

- Intel: Announcers in the USC game calling the punt return by Mosely such a great play by such a young player need to do their research on his age.

- Intel: They have a better NIL Arizona does not have a robust NIL for football.

- Intel: They don’t show up because they aren’t passionate about the teams… LA has always had the features you note ( as well as drawbacks).

- Intel: I’d just like to have a post expressing my appreciation to be watching a great Arizona football game against a great team on the road… We’ve come a long way from 20 straight losses….

- Intel: If it weren't for Matthew Lado's holding penalty and Noah Fifita's interception, Arizona played a nearly perfect first quarter.
