First Quarter


The Wildcats set the tone early in the first quarter with a strong offensive performance. Noah Fifita led the charge, completing several key passes that resulted in two touchdowns. The Cats' defense also made its presence felt by limiting Oklahoma State to just a field goal, ending the quarter with a score of 14-3.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Michael Salgado-Medina extended Arizona's lead with a field goal from 57 yards out. The Pokes managed another field goal but struggled to break through U of A's defensive line led by standout linebacker Max Harris, who contributed significantly with tackles and forced fumbles. By halftime, Arizona had widened their lead to 24-6.

Third Quarter


The third quarter saw more dominance from Fifita as he connected for two additional touchdown passes. His precision passing was complemented by Luke Wysong’s impressive receiving skills, including a highlight-reel catch for one of his touchdowns. Meanwhile, Jay'Vion Cole added an interception that halted any momentum Oklahoma State tried to build.


Fourth Quarter


Despite trailing significantly entering the fourth quarter, Oklahoma State managed one touchdown drive against an otherwise impenetrable Wildcat defense spearheaded by Myron Robinson and Dalton Johnson's sack efforts. However, it was too little too late as Salgado-Medina sealed off scoring for U of A with another successful field goal attempt.
