Gunner Cruz had a chance to solidify himself as Arizona’s starting quarterback with a strong performance against San Diego State. Instead, he opened the door to a discussion.
Cruz never found a rhythm in the 38-14 loss, completing just 10 of 17 passes for 90 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He played deep into the third quarter, leading Arizona to just seven points in 11 drives before being replaced by Will Plummer. The second-year quarterback completed 8 of 17 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown.
With neither signal-caller being markedly better than the other, it leaves Jedd Fisch “completely unsure” which one will start next Saturday against NAU.
