Cats Camp: Offense Strikes Back
08/12/2022 | Football
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Wildcats offense had their most productive practice of Fall Camp on Friday, a promising sign the day before Arizona's first official scrimmage scheduled for Saturday morning.
Among the highlights during team periods were a long touchdown run broken off by running back Jonah Coleman and six touchdowns from quarterback Jayden de Laura (five passing, one rushing). Two of de Laura's scoring connections through the air went to dynamic freshman wideout Tetairoa McMillan, the highest-rated recruit in program history.
Friday's light practice, with the players only donning shells, set the table for Saturday's scrimmage in Arizona Stadium. Enjoy tailgate games, face painting, inflatables, and more on Bear Down Field from 9:30–11:00 a.m. and head inside the stadium for the scrimmage beginning at 10:00 a.m.
