Ismail Mahdi ran for 189 yards, Noah Fifita had two touchdown runs and Arizona overcame a shaky start to the second half for a 23-17 win over Kansas State on Friday night. Arizona (3-0) faced its first big test of the year after beating two smaller-confe rence teams by a combined score of 88-9. The Wildcats led by 14 at halftime, but let Kansas State back in it with a series of mistakes. They sealed the win with a turnover on downs, opening 3-0 for the first time since 2015. Coming off a home loss to Arm y, Kansas State (1-3) struggled offensively for much of the nonconference matchup between future Big 12 foes - a game scheduled before Arizona joined the league. Kansas State had 193 total yards and quarterback Avery Johnson was limited to 88 yards and n o touchdowns on 13 of 29 passing.Arizona led 17-3 at halftime on touchdown runs of 15 and two yards by Fifita. Kansas State needed one play to get back in it. Taking a direct snap, Jayce Brown weaved through a blockade of tacklers on the right sid e and raced past the rest of the defense for a 75-yard touchdown run - the first touchdown Arizona’s defense has allowed this season. After a three-and-out, Arizona punter Michael Salgado-Medina fumbled a snap and had his kick blocked, setting up Kansa s State at Arizona’s 13. Johnson scored four plays later on a 1-yard run to tie it at 17-all. Salgado-Medina kicked field goals of 31 and 41 yards to put Arizona up 23-17 before hitting the upright on a 46-yard attempt with 1:55 left. - Arizona/AP Coll ege Football
