TUCSON, Ariz. -- , Noah Fifita threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns, Isaiah Mizell scored on a 71-yard catch on the game's second play and No. 25 Arizona shut down Iowa State for a 39-3 win on Saturday night. The Wildcats (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) played as a ranked team for the first time this season, having moved into the AP Top 25 despite not playing last week. Arizona was sharp following its bye, jumping to a quick 15-0 lead and dominating both sides of the ball to match its best start since the 2014 team opened 6-1. “Coming into this thing we had a plan and that plan was really based on playing a physical football game,” Arizona coach Brent Brennan said. “I think that physicality showed up all night.” Fifita completed 27 of 34 passes and hit Henry Gabalis for a 40-yard touchdown with 6:41 left before sitting out the rest of the game. Mizell finished with eight catches for 134 yards.
