09/19/21 - Hendrix Johnson, rSr/2024, Northern Arizona + More +

RJ Martinez threw a 9-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and Northern Arizona stopped a late 2-point conversion attempt, extending Arizona's school-record losing streak to 15 games with a 21-19 victory Saturday night. The Lumberjacks (1-2) didn't play like a winless FCS program, coming to life offensively in the second half after struggling in the first. Kevin Daniels scored on a 12-yard TD run in the third quarter and Martinez found Hendrix Johnson in the back of the end zone for a 9-yard score. Arizona still had one last chance.

Trailing 21-13, the Wildcats (0-3) marched quickly down the field and Jordan McCloud hit Boobie Curry on a 3-yard touchdown pass with 2:16 left. After multiple stops starts, the Lumberjacks pressured McCloud into an incomplete pass on the 2-point conversion. Northern Arizona fair caught a pooch kick and wound down the clock, picking up one of the biggest wins in program history while ending a losing streak to Arizona that dated to 1932. Arizona hired coach Jedd Fisch in hopes of ending a losing streak that stretched back to October 2019. The former NFL and college assistant did all the right things off the field, generating a buzz around the program. - AP College Football
