Arizona had the sixth-best passing offense in college football last season. So why doesn't QB Jayden de Laura get more national attention? 'If you win more, that's all anybody cares about when it comes to the national conversations,' Jedd Fisch…
The numbers the Arizona Wildcats posted on offense were among the top in college football last season. Arizona had the sixth-best passing offense and averaged the 11th-most yards per play nationally.
The top Wildcat shouldering the blame for Arizona's flaws on offense in 2022? Look no further than quarterback Jayden de Laura, who threw 13 interceptions, including a career-high four against his former team, Washington State, in Tucson. He also had five combined picks in losses to Cal and Mississippi State. De Laura's untimely interceptions in losses led to multiple what-if games — especially Cal — for Arizona, which finished one win shy of bowl eligibility.
It's a topic Fisch often reminds de Laura about. And maybe can be used as fuel for de Laura's mental furnace. Williams was a transfer from Oklahoma, where he played one season for USC coach Lincoln Riley. Nix and then-Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham worked together at Auburn. Penix played under Washington coach Kalen DeBoer at Indiana. Ward reunited with former Incarnate Word coach and Washington State offensive coordinator Eric Morris. Meanwhile, Rising and Thompson-Robinson were multiyear veterans for their respective programs.
"He knows what's expected now," the QB coach added."I think any quarterback, the growth from Year 1 to Year 2 is always going to be pretty substantial, and he's worked really hard at it, so I think he's going to keep getting better and better." "The weight feels amazing," de Laura said."I took off on one . I felt like I was moving. I feel like it's going to be kinda scary for DBs now, because I wasn't really scared of contact, and now I feel like I have something extra behind me coming through. ... I'm running faster at this weight than I was before."
