Nick Wilson and Anu Solomon have been delivering for the Arizona Wildcats throughout their young season. Saturday, they added a third member to their wrecking crew.
David Richards has caught eight passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns, and 20th-ranked UA leads Northern Arizona 42-13 at halftime.
The Wildcats scored 35 second-quarter points, separating themselves from an NAU team that outgained them through the first 15 minutes. Solomon found Samajie Grant for an eight-yard pass to give the UA a 14-6 lead. He then connected with the 6-foot-4-inch Richards for a 27-yard touchdown pass.
DaVonte’ Neal’s interception of Case Cookus, right after NAU’s quarterback underthrew his receiver for what would have been a big gain — if not a touchdown — flipped the momentum in the Wildcats’ favor.
