No. 25 Arizona strikes fast and blows out Iowa State, 39-3, Saturday in Tucson
The injury-plagued Cyclones, who trailed 25-3 at halftime, made a quarterback change from Jaylen Raynor to Connor Moberly, and eventually fell, 39-3, at sparsely-populated Casino Del Sol Stadium in Tucson. No. 25 Arizona defeated Iowa State 39-3 in Tucson, marking the team's first true blowout loss under first-year head coach Jimmy Rogers. The Cyclones trailed 25-3 at halftime before making a change from Jaylen Raynor to Connor Moberly, who completed seven of his 17 passes for 63 yards and rushed 10 times for 20 yards. Arizona's record-setting quarterback Noah Fifita completed 21 of his first 23 passes, including two touchdown passes and zero interceptions. The Wildcats ran 15 more offensive plays than the Cyclones, outgaining 477 yards to 221. ISU's defense was poor, failing to convert a first down on its first six third-down chances and failing to run for a first time in its past 24 games.
