Arizona pulls away in second half to beat Northern Arizona 38-3

TUCSON, Ariz. -- , Arizona's rash of mistakes left the door open for Northern Arizona to pull off another desert upset. Ta’ita’i Uiagalelei and Tacario Davis slammed the door on the Lumberjacks. Jayden de Laura accounted for four touchdowns, Davis returned Uiagalelei's blocked field goal 85 yards for a score and Arizona opened the season a 38-3 win over Northern Arizona on Saturday night. “You’re going in there, a one-score game, and all sudden they block it and run it back for a touchdown,” Northern Arizona coach Chris Ball said. “That hurts.” Arizona (1-0) lost to the FCS Lumberjacks (0-1) at home two years ago at the start of coach Jedd Fisch's desert rebuild. The Wildcats had a hard time getting out of their own way in the first half of the rematch before rolling over Northern Arizona in the second.
