It's been quite the up-and-down career for Fifita at this point, but he has had some brilliant games during Arizona's rebound season. He has topped 370 passing yards twice, and he has produced a Total QBR of 88.6 or higher three times...They're still averaging 38.0 points per game in wins -- Fifita's doing his job."
The top two performances of Fifita's career based on passer rating, were against Colorado and Weber State this season. Fifita combined to complete 68.3 percent of his pass attempts for 586 yards, nine TDs and no interceptions in convincing wins over Colorado and Weber State as Arizona averaged 50 PPG.
Connelly referenced wins for Arizona. In losses, Arizona is averaging 23.0 PPG. That is somewhat skewed by the 39-14 loss at Iowa State. Arizona lost 33-27 to BYU in double overtime and 31-28 at Houston. Arizona has scored at least 40 points in four games during the 2025 season.
Arizona scored over 40 points once during the 2024 season. The Wildcats did not score over 28 points in another game in 2024. Doege and Fifita have elevated Arizona offensively in 2025. Fifita has the option of returning for one more season with another year of eligibility remaining in the 2026 season.
