Noah Fifita breaks Arizona’s all-time passing record and leads the Wildcats to a 42-17 victory over Northern Illinois. He completes 31 of 34 passes for 325 yards, finishing the game with 10,017 career passing yards, surpassing Nick Foles. Arizona also scores multiple touchdowns, building a sizable lead after a shaky start.
Across reports, Fifita’s stat line includes five total touchdowns. He throws four touchdown passes, and he also runs for a 30-yard touchdown that extends Arizona’s advantage early in the fourth quarter. One outlet reports that even with the game largely decided, coach Brent Brennan keeps Fifita in the lineup, including on a later pass that helps confirm the career-record milestone.
While coverage emphasizes different aspects—such as the record-breaking moment and the overall blowout nature of the win—sources consistently describe the same opponent, score, and key figures involved in Fifita’s performance.
