ESPN RECAPNoah Fifita breaks Arizona's all-time passing mark, Wildcats roll over Northern Illinois 42-17
TUCSON, Ariz. -- , Arizona coach Brent Brennan was not going to let Noah Fifita miss a chance to break the school’s all-time passing mark at home. Despite the Wildcats being up 32 points following a shaky start, Brennan put Fifita back into the game for one last pass – and the record all to himself. Fifita threw for 325 yards to become Arizona's all-time leading passer and accounted for five touchdowns, leading the Wildcats to a 42-17 win over Northern Illinois Saturday night. "I just felt that, as a program we owed it to him to give him a chance to do that here," Brennan said. Fifita was efficient despite being sacked four times, completing 31 of 34 passes to reach 10,017 career yards , eclipsing Nick Foles’ record of 10,011 from 2009–11.
