A injury-ridden defense struggled with tackling all night, but Fisher seemed determined to keep NU hanging around. He finished with 13 tackles on the night to lead the Wildcats, including two big stuffs on third and short in the first half and a tackle for loss early in the second half. Fisher also forced his fourth fumble of the season, stripping Jaylen Dixon of the ball in Ute territory. Unfortunately, NU couldn’t capitalize and went three and out. But hey, at least the Texan has two more years of eligibility.
