Arizona’s rash of mistakes left the door open for Northern Arizona to pull off another desert upset.
De Laura threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns on 18-of-24 passing with a fourth-quarter interception on a miscommunication in the end zone.
Only a handful of Wildcats’ players are still on the roster from that game, but it was certainly on their minds. Defensively, Arizona extended NAU’s last drive with a roughing the kicker penalty and later added a personal foul. After a holding call negated a touchdown, Marcus Lye kicked a 49-yard field goal to pull the Lumberjacks within 14-3 - still within striking distance despite being outgained 263-100 in total yards.
Riding the momentum of a close first half, NAU reached Arizona’s 14-yard line with the help of a targeting penalty on Arizona defensive back Gunner Maldanado. After a holding call negated a Lumberjacks’ touchdown, Uiagalelei blocked Lye’s field goal attempt and Davis returned it for the longest blocked field goal return in the Pac-12 since 1996.Arizona’s defense stopped the Lumberjacks on a fourth-and-2 from their own 38 the next series.
