- Game breakdown: WSU-Arizona: Wildcats' insider breaks down WR status, QB Fifita, and a dangerous trap game #GoCougs #Wazzu @WSUCougarFB @WSUCougars

- In Arizona's Sept. 24, 2026 notebook, Brent Brennan confirms defensive back Daylen Austin has a season-ending injury. He separately gives no update on tight end Cole Rusk, who left the Northern Illinois game hurt. Austin's season-ending designation must not be applied to Rusk, whose status remains unresolved. - After Arizona struggled to run against Northern Illinois in 2026, Brennan identified missed assignments and deficient execution as problems. Correcting those details is a priority this week after the better rushing performance against BYU; he did not announce a different offensive system or a replacement line. - Arizona used Brandon Phelps in the slot against Northern Illinois, a departure from his previous usage. In the 2026 notebook, Brennan links inside-outside flexibility to mixing receiver body types and notes that some calls and assignments differ. This documents game usage, not a permanent move or a new starting lineup. - Arizona safety Cam Chapa received an extended look against Northern Illinois largely because of injuries. Brennan called it his most confident and physical performance since arriving and linked faster play to learning the scheme. The 2026 assessment supports recent expanded usage, not a guaranteed starting role or future snap share.

- Injury: * Tight end Cole Rusk left the NIU game with an undisclosed injury and while his status remains to be seen, there was a notable update on defensive back Daylen Austin.

- QB: If memory serves me he had the same issue the first half of last year.

- Offense: Arizona offensive coordinator Seth Doege said he wanted Noah Fifita to break Arizona's passing yards record on the drive he scored a 30-yard touchdown.

- TE: "The energy he had when he caught that ball, it was like 'Finally.' ...

- WR: Arizona wide receiver Brandon Phelps "is a tough-ass kid and he continues to make plays for us," Brent Brennan says.

- Offense: Through three games, Arizona is last in the Big 12 in rushing offense — and by a considerable amount.

- Pick/market: Noah Fifita made history in Arizona's 42-17 win over Northern Illinois, setting career and single-game program records.

- QB/WR: I thought Matt Scott's senior season was as good as any QB I ever saw at UofA.

- QB: I really wish ECU would have stepped in and nabbed him then.

- QB: I get the idea that a lot of the guys who were held out would've played if this were a conference game.

- RB: agree if there is a backup guard who has potential, now is the time to rest rhino.

- OL: they’ve done the mariachis every year since I can remember you Nimrod I’m not Hispanic, but I was born here so I have a vote Why don’t you you get upset about how bad...
