Arizona Wildcats Dominate, McMillan Sets Records

Arizona Wildcats' wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan set a school record with 304 receiving yards and tied another with four touchdown catches in a 61-39 victory over New Mexico, marking Coach Brent Brennan's debut. McMillan, who missed the offseason due to injury, averaged 30.4 yards on 10 catches and became the fourth player in Big 12 history to exceed 300 receiving yards in a game. Quarterback Noah Fifita complemented McMillan's performance with 422 yards and four touchdowns, leading an explosive Arizona offense that racked up 627 total yards. Despite defensive struggles, Arizona's offensive prowess ensured a strong start to their Big 12 membership and extended their win streak to eight games. The Wildcats' impressive performance has set high expectations for the season, particularly for McMillan, a projected first-round NFL Draft pick. Both McMillan and Fifita chose to stay at Arizona despite the departure of former coach Jedd Fisch, aiming to build on the program's recent success.
