It was the sixth-most points scored in school history, the yardage amassed the third-most all-time. But for all the good feelings Arizona’s offense created on Saturday night, it was hard not to look past the bad parts of that 65-41 win over NAU.
Coach Kevin Sumlin certainly couldn’t.
“I’m happy about the win,” Sumlin said late Saturday (actually, early Sunday). “But there’s a lot of things that I’m not very happy about. I addressed that in the locker room, and we’re going to continue to address that.”
Arizona allowed 41 points to an FCS school, albeit a solid one, the most it had ever allowed to the Lumberjacks and four more than the Wildcats had yielded to NAU in their past three meetings.
