Through three games, Arizona has posted 16 three-and-outs (defined as a stop with no points allowed before a first down is gained). Through three games last year, » Wuerffel Trophy Arizona had just five three-and-outs total and didn’t reach nine total three-and-outs until the fifth game of the season against UCLA.

The Wildcats forced six punts three separate times last year. » Senior Bowl Watch List Efficiency Examination: Brandon Dawkins turned in one of his best career performances last Friday at UTEP. Statistically, it ranks as one of the best days for a UA quarterback in head coach Rich Rodriguez’s six seasons. By completing 18-of-21 (85.7 percent) pass for 155 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, Dawkins produced a pass efficiency rating of 194.86. That was a career-best number (previous: 185.9 vs. Hawai’i in 2016) and Arizona IMG Sports Network also the third-best rating for a starting quarterback under Rodriguez. The top mark is held Statewide Radio Affiliates by Matt Scott, whose efficiency rating of 212.29 against Washington in 2012 saw him toss four touchdown passes.

Effectively, the key numbers are 200 and 150. If the Cats rush for 200 or more yards, they have a record of 28-8 (.777). That includes a Douglas 15-2 mark (.882) when topping three bills and a spotless 5-0 record in 400-plus outputs. On KDAP 96.5 FM the flip side, Arizona is only 3-14 (.176) when it fails to rush for 150 yards, including 0-4 in the four sub-100 yard contests. That leaves a tossup zone in the other 15 games when the Safford/Thatcher Cats have rushed for at least 150 yards, but under 200 yards. Their record in those games: KATO 1230 AM 7-8 (.467). Show Low Takeaway Trends: Dating to the season finale in 2016 – a Territorial Cup victory over Arizona KVWM 970 AM State – the Wildcats have forced multiple turnovers in four-consecutive contests. Totaled up, it’s nine takeaways in four games that has yielded a plus-5 turnover margin. Not sur- Globe/Miami prisingly, the Wildcats have a 3-1 record in those games. Before the current four-game KIKO 1340 AM streak, the wildcats caused multiple turnovers in only seven of the previous 24 games. Ad- ditionally, the last time Arizona had a string of four straight games with multiple takeaways Sedona was in 2014, a stretch that saw the Wildcats cause 13 turnovers in a four game win streak KAZM 780 AM that locked up the Pac-12 South Championship. Should the Cats force two or more turn- overs this week, it would be their first stretch of five such games in a row since the opening Arizona’s 100-Yard Receivers three games of the 2013 season combined with the final two of 2012. The importance of Under Rich Rodriguez forcing multiple turnovers? Arizona is 27-6 (.818) when doing so under Rich Rodriguez, a mark that improves to 14-1 (.933) if there are three or more takeaways in a game.

The Wildcats’ roster includes 61 freshmen (including redshirts) on Selected by UA Coaching Staff the 120-man roster. Yes, over half the roster is a freshman eligibility-wise and there are Game 1 vs. NAU more freshmen than sophomores, juniors and seniors combined.

Furthermore, 83 of the 120 Tharpe Jr. players are freshmen or sophomores, and the roster includes 77 players in their first or second year of the program. Lastly, among all classes of eligibility, there are 48 players in Game 2 vs. Houston Student of the Week: Jake Glatting their first year of the program. Nacho Dip Winners: Shun Brown, Dereck Boles, Malcolm Holland Young Bucks Rack Up Tackles: Through three games, Arizona’s top three tacklers are fresh- Game 3 at UTEP men. True freshman linebacker Tony Fields II leads the way with 17 tackles, including a sack. Student of the Week: Jacob Alsadek He’s followed by redshirt freshman cornerback Lorenzo Burns’ 15 stops and true freshman Nacho Dip Winners: Lee Anderson and Antonio Parks free safety Scottie Young Jr.’s 14 tackles. Totaling up all the first-year contributors finds that 46-percent (78 of 170) of Arizona’s tackles so far have been registered by freshmen.

Game 5 at Colorado Demetrius the Thief: Through three games this season, junior safety Demetrius Flan- Student of the Week: Nacho Dip Winners: nigan-Fowles is one of just two players in the country with three interceptions. Flan- nigan-Fowles is tied with Central Michigan’s Josh Cox for the national lead in interceptions Game 6 vs. UCLA Student of the Week: with three. Flannigan-Fowles had two interceptions in the season opener versus NAU and Nacho Dip Winners: then picked off another pass versus Houston. He entered the season with three career interceptions in 25 games. Twice in his career, Flannigan-Fowles has picked off at least Game 7 at California Student of the Week: one pass in back-to-back games. Last season, he notched an interception in Week 2 versus Nacho Dip Winners: Grambling State, and then had another one a week later against Hawai’i.

Additionally, Flannigan-Fowles had two tackles against the Miners Nacho Dip Winners: and now has exactly 100 stops for his career. Game 10 vs. Oregon State Student of the Week: A Dane-dy Start: Prior to the season, senior Dane Cruikshank moved positions, switching Nacho Dip Winners: from the boundary cornerback spot to the “Spur” safety spot for the Wildcats. The senior Game 11 at Oregon from Chino Hills, California embraced the move and was named a captain for Arizona’s Student of the Week: season opener versus NAU. The position change seems to have agreed with Cruikshank, Nacho Dip Winners: who started all 12 games for the Wildcats a year ago. Cruikshank had six solo tackles, one Game 12 at Arizona State tackle-for-loss and a forced fumble versus Houston. It was the second solo tackle-for-loss Student of the Week: of his career and first forced fumble.

Dawkins (13-176-2) first true freshman defensive lineman at Arizona to start a season opener since at least 9/17/16 Hawai’i J.J. Taylor (18-168-1) 1992.

Wilborn was a standout in his debut against the Lumberjacks and had two 10/17/15 at Colorado Jared Baker (23-207-2) tackles, including a sack where he forced a fumble that was recovered by fellow lineman 10/10/15 Oregon St. Jared Baker (10-123-0) Finton Connolly.

Tate played six seasons in the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers systems after being the No. 3 pick of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft by the Padres. He retired from baseball following the 2016 season. A top-tier quarterback prospect when he was at Cartersville High School in Georgia, Tate decided to give college football a try after his baseball career ended. Tate, now 26, reconnected with coach Rich Rodriguez, who recruited the quarterback out of high school. He moved to Tucson in the summer and has five years to play four seasons. He made his collegiate debut Friday against UTEP. He completed the only pass he attempted for 10 yards. Holland was a 33rd round pick of the Dodgers in 2011 and signed with the club. He retired after the 2014 season and joined Arizona in 2015. Holland, a former middle infield partner of current Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager in the minors, redshirted in 2015, before playing in all 12 games last year as a reserve corner and special teams contributor.
