Winning shootouts might be the Wildcats’ only path to success in the second half; plus: Jedd Fisch explains the ‘speed break’ and other notes.
That’s the reality the Wildcats face as they struggle to get stops. It’s a reversal from a year ago, when the defense fought to keep Arizona competitive while its offense sputtered.
In-house personnel solutions are limited. Freshman Jacob Manu was elevated to the first team at “Will” linebacker on this week’s depth chart. Other minor changes are possible. “I talked to our offense about this yesterday,” Fisch said Monday. “The expectation is to score every time. when you're an offensive player, you should only worry about and only control the offense. So it does not matter what's going on on the other side of the ball; it does not matter if they score or if they don't.
Fisch said Arizona could have had 20 or 27 points in the first half. Instead, the Wildcats trailed the Ducks 28-13 at halftime. Fisch also expects better play from quarterback Jayden de Laura, whose inconsistencies have mirrored the team’s. In Arizona’s three wins, de Laura has completed 68.8% of his passes with an 11-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. In its three losses, those numbers are 56.1% and 4-6.
“Fundamentally he wasn't as sharp as normal. I think the rush started affecting him a little bit more than it needed to. I'm looking forward to him bouncing back and having a great game this week.”Speed break, bad breakArizona’s first turnover occurred on a play where the Wildcats used a “speed break” — huddling before hurrying to the line of scrimmage. It’s a tactic used by many teams to try catch the defense off guard.
