Martell Irby on why so many of Arizona's older players are not opting out of the Alamo Bowl:
"We aren't treating this like a bowl game. This is our championship game."

Had a chance to speak with Drake Stoops, Oklahoma’s leading receiver, about former Arizona head coach Mike Stoops.

“We have a lot of great memories in Tucson. We had a very fun coaching staff who went to bowl games and had some success. It was a great place to live — great people.”
New Oklahoma OC Seth Littrell spent a moment to reflect on coaching at Arizona.

Said Jedd Fisch after Arizona’s Christmas Day practice at Trinity University in San Antonio: “We’ve had two good, physical, spirited practices. … We’re ready. We’re ready to go play a game.”

12/23/20 – 11 days after Kevin Sumlin was fired following the Wildcats’ 70-7 loss to #ASU, the University of Arizona hired NE Patriots QB Coach Jedd Fisch (44) as the program’s 30th HC. Coaching at both the college and pro levels, heSumlin was hired over him in 2017. #BearDown pic.twitter.com/xVV29RWHDi

Arizona QB Jayden de Laura will enter the transfer portal after the Alamo Bowl https://t.co/FKvuMoLJis
— GOAZCATS.com (@GOAZCATScom) December 25, 2023
People don’t understand what Jayden has done for our son. As an early enrollee Noah came to Arizona with a roster full of QBs who’d already played. Jayden would push Noah to take reps, even giving him some of his own.
He would encourage and lead. Until this day he’s still… https://t.co/xXR1DXbK4v
— lesfifita (@lesfifita) December 26, 2023
“I think the man I am today is because of my family.”
After every game, Arizona QB Noah Fifita immediately finds his family in the stands to show his gratitude.
It’s fitting, as his family is the reason he’s playing quarterback.
