Defensive lineman Jeff Worthy recorded Arizona’s only sack, and it was a big one that was almost a safety. The play drew praise from Scooby Wright, who stayed in Tucson to watch the game.
Worthy!!!!!!

Will Parks had a tackle behind the line and caused a fumble.
Great freaking play by the defense to get the hold. Will Parks with the defensive play of the game so far.

DeVonte’ Neal at cornerback is the most surprising talent so far.
Huge size disadvantage for DeVonte Neal, but that was good coverage. Nevada makes it 14-3 with a FG.

Defensive end Reggie Gilbert was a ballhawk in the game
No sack, but Reggie Gilbert key in forcing Nevada to punt with 2:25 to play in 1st half.
