Arizona played without its starting quarterback and its most productive running back, a combination that would have likely led to disaster last season. This year's Wildcats have a different kind of swagger to them. Back-up quarterback, multiple running backs having to carry the load, young players in key positions — doesn't matter to them. Grant Gunnell threw for 352 yards and a touchdown in his first career start and Arizona held on to beat UCLA 20-17 Saturday night after JJ Molson missed a 39-yard field goal in the closing seconds. "These guys are learning on the run, they're growing up," Arizona coach Kevin Sumlin said. "To play in the last two games the way they've played down the stretch, for a young football team (it's big)"

Arizona (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) played without its two best offensive players with quarterback Khalil Tate and running back J.J. Taylor out due to leg injuries. Gunnell had seen spot action earlier this season, but was making his first collegiate start. The freshman played like he had been the starter all along, keeping his poise while completing 29 of 44 passes. "I have full confidence in Grant," Arizona linebacker Tony Fields said. "He deals with us in practice every day and somehow, some finds a way to make plays like he did tonight." - Arizona/AP College Football

2019 PRESEASON ALL-SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): WR Nathan Stewart, Sam Houston State, Sr., Dallas, Texas,...Stewart will be chasing FCS history as a senior in 2019 as he is one of just four receivers all-time in the FCS to have recorded 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons. Should he achieve the 1,000-yard mark again he would join Terrell Hudgins (Elon) and Cooper Kupp (Eastern Washington) as the only three FCS receivers in history to post 1,000 yards in each of their four years of eligibility.

He finished with 1,063 yards a year ago to go with five touchdowns, finishing with at least 100 yards in each of his final five games of 2018 on his way to earning second team all-SLC honors. He enters his senior season ranking second all-time at SHSU in receiving yards and needs just 228 to move past former teammate Yedidiah Louis for the all-time lead in that category. - Sam Houston State Football

He also had eight pass breakups and 1.5 TFLs, while closing the season with a 2-interception game at HBU that included a 17-yard pick-six in the second quarter.
