The Wildcats' offense was firing on all cylinders as they amassed a total of 673 yards. The passing game was particularly effective; quarterback play led to an impressive six touchdowns through the air and a completion percentage of nearly 70 percent.

The rushing attack added another dimension to Arizona's offense with an average gain per rush attempt sitting above five yards and contributing eleven first downs.
