WVU Suffers Major Loss To Arizona

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Noah Fifita threw two of his three touchdown passes to Isaiah Mizell, Lee Molette III returned a fumble for a score and Arizona beat West Virginia 52-31 on Saturday.  Antwan Roberts, Quincy Craig and Kedrick Reescano each had scoring runs for the Wildcats (5-1, 2-1), who won their fourth straight despite missing their top three wide receivers, all who were injured a week ago in a win over Cincinnati.  It didn’t matter. Fifita and Mizell took advantage of a West Virginia secondary that has struggled all season, committed several interference penalties on Saturday and got burned in one-on-one coverage.  “Holy smokes, Isaiah Mizell,” Arizona coach Brent Brennan said. “I’m really proud of him. He was going to be ready for his opportunity.”  West Virginia defensive coordinator Zac Alley had decried his unit as “the worst defense in college football” after allowing an average of 593 yards in losses to Oklahoma State and Iowa State. Not much improved Saturday.  “It’s really frustrating,” West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said. “We didn’t get it fixed today, defensively especially. And then offensively, when we had a couple of turnovers, it really cost us and we couldn’t get the momentum we needed.”
