Hurricane Priscilla<\/a> rolled through southern Arizona.<\/p>\nFerrin connected on a 24-yard field goal with 4:08 remaining \u2014 his first make after three consecutive misses for the school’s record-holder for consecutive made tries \u2014 after Kedrick Reescano capped a 24-0 run with a 36-yard rushing score to put the Wildcats up 24-14 to open the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Reescano finished with a team-high 90 yards on 13 carries for Arizona (4-2, 2-2 Big 12). But the Wildcats didn’t score again, save it were for Salgado-Medina’s field goal in the first overtime.<\/p>\n
“We just executed and mitigated the mistakes,” Bachmeier said of the fourth-quarter comeback. “We had a couple of false starts in the third quarter; nothing was going our way. But we had each other’s backs and it’s a credit to the boys up front for being really physical, guys on the perimeter making plays \u2014 and then LJ being LJ.”<\/p>\n
So, too, was Jay Hill’s defense.<\/p>\n
Absent star linebacker Jack Kelly due to an upper-body injury, Siale Esera led BYU with a career-high 16 tackles, a pass breakup and shared a tackle for loss. He also led a group of younger players stepping into new roles, as safety Raider Damuni left early with an injury and defensive tackle Keanu Tanuvasa was ejected in the first half for targeting.<\/p>\n
Esera got some help from Faletau Satuala, who totaled 11 tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass breakup; and Isaiah Glasker, the other half of BYU’s star-studded linebacker duo, who had five tackles and picked an interception off Fifita near the goal line.<\/p>\n
“We have trust in the guys who stepped in,” Esera said. “We knew they were going to do their jobs, we were going to do our jobs, and we were going to get after it. We were able to play a physical game up until the second overtime, and we were able to get that win.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
