Michael Wiley got the start in Arizona’s season-opening win at San Diego State, the eighth of his career. He got the ball on the Wildcats’ first offensive snap, gaining eight yards, and was immediately subbed out for DJ Williams.
Williams, a Florida State transfer, carried it on the next two plays before getting replaced by true freshman Jonah Coleman for a successful fourth-down conversion. And after Coleman got four hard-fought yards on 4th-and-inches, in came true freshman Rayshon ‘Speedy’ Luke.
It was an assembly line of running backs for the UA on Saturday, with RBs coach Scottie Graham the one operating the conveyor belt from the sidelines and making sure the Wildcats always had a fresh back ready to go.
