The Arizona Wildcats had a thrilling victory over the No. 11 Oregon State Beavers on Saturday night, winning 27-24. The Wildcats were led by their star running back J.J. Fifita, who rushed for a career-high 148 yards and two touchdowns.
Fifita was the star of the show, as he was able to break off big runs throughout the game. He had a long run of 32 yards in the first quarter, and then scored his first touchdown of the game in the second quarter. He added another touchdown in the fourth quarter, which proved to be the game-winning score.
The Wildcats defense also played a big role in the victory, as they held the Beavers to just 24 points. They were able to force three turnovers, including two interceptions and one fumble recovery. The Wildcats also had seven sacks on the night, which helped them keep the Beavers offense in check.
The Wildcats offense was able to move the ball effectively throughout the game, as they gained 439 total yards. Quarterback Grant Gunnell threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns, while wide receiver Stanley Berryhill caught seven passes for 114 yards and a touchdown.
The victory was a huge one for the Wildcats, as they were able to beat a ranked opponent for the first time since 2017. It was also a big win for Fifita, who has been one of the most consistent players on the team this season.
The Wildcats will now look to build on this victory as they prepare for their next game against Colorado on November 16th. If they can continue to get strong performances from Fifita and the rest of their players, they could be in for a successful season.
