Arizona dominates West Virginia 52-31 despite missing top 3 receivers with injuries

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Arizona defeated West Virginia 52-31 in a game on Saturday, despite being without their top three wide receivers who were injured a week prior. Noah Fifita completed two of his three touchdown passes to Isaiah Mizell. Lee Molette III also returned a fumble for a score. Antwan Roberts, Quincy Craig, and Kendrick Reescano each scored runs for the Wildcats.

Despite missing their star receivers, Arizona's defense, which has struggled throughout the season, managed to outplay West Virginia's secondary, committing several interference penalties. Fifita was efficient, throwing for a season-high 341 yards and setting career highs with six catches for 183 yards. Mizell, who entered the game with 176 yards all season, had six catches for 183 yards.

West Virginia, on the other hand, has lost three straight games and couldn't convert on critical scoring chances in the first half, settling for a short field goal. The game marked Arizona's fourth straight win, while West Virginia heads to a tough matchup against Cincinnati next Saturday.
