SAN DIEGO—“One hell of an opening day, huh?”
That’s how quarterback Jayden de Laura greeted the media after guiding Arizona to an impressive 38-20 win at San Diego State on Saturday afternoon, matching the Wildcats’ win total from a year ago.
The transfer from Washington State improved to 6-0 in his career when throwing for three or more touchdowns in a game, tossing four to match the most by a UA passer in their debut since Anu Solomon had four in the 2014 opener against UNLV.
“It’s like every other game,” de Laura said when asked about his performance, which saw him throw for 299 yards on 22-of-35 passing.
