2015 FIESTA BOWL

Game: Arizona vs. New Mexico

Result: Arizona 45 – New Mexico 37

Notable Players: Anu Solomon (AU), Scooby Wright (AU),

With another top 10 recruiting class, coming off a 10-4 record, and an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl. Albeit a loss to Boise State, Arizona football was back. Or so we thought.

During the 2015 season, Arizona had a very so-so year. They won the games they were supposed to win. They lost the games they were expected to lose. Nothing jumped out. Outside of a win against No. 10 Utah, one could say it was a boring year. Major injuries to the MLB position, Scooby Wright III, then Cody Ippolito, Nick Wilson (RB), Anu Solomon (QB) and more plagued the team.

After an uninspiring 7-6 finish to the season, Arizona barely squeaked by. Receiving an invitation to play in the New Mexico Bowl, against who? New Mexico. In what was basically a home game for the Lobos, Arizona decisively won.

Behind the arm of Anu Solomon, and the hands of WR Cayleb Jones, the Wildcats would win the game by 8.

Current NFL Players: Scooby Wright (Cardinals), Reggie Gilbert (Green Bay), Cayleb Jones (Vikings)

Fast Forward: After missing out on a bowl game last season, the Arizona football team is expecting to get back to the promised land of playing football in December, or January. Even if the team finishes 7-6 yet again, it may just be enough to make a bowl game. However, at Zona Zealots we are extremely hopeful and wishing the team has the opportunity to play in a major bowl game this time around. BEAR DOWN.
