FOOTBALL
>> Jayden de Laura (Saint Louis), Arizona: Completed both of his pass attempts in a 42-18 win over Utah, but not without a little controversy. De Laura’s 51-yard touchdown to Waimanalo’s Tetairoa McMillan came with 41 seconds left with the Wildcats up 17 points.
“I wanted Jayden to go out with a touchdown pass this season,” Arizona coach Jedd Fisch said. “I think that he deserves that. And I thought it was awesome that on what could be a senior day for him — doesn’t have to be, but could be a senior day. As a senior and as a captain, I thought it was pretty awesome that he could go out there and throw a touchdown.”
De Laura started the season as QB1 before getting injured after a month and losing his job to freshman Noah Fifita. If it was de Laura’s last play with Arizona, he finishes with 35 touchdown passes in 19 games with the Wildcats. He is No. 24 all-time in Pac-12 history with a 145.1 passing efficiency rating.
>> Dillon Gabriel (Mililani), Oklahoma: Threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns in the first half of a 31-24 win over Brigham Young. The Heisman Trophy candidate was knocked out of the game on a tackle on the final drive of the first half and his status for Friday’s contest vs. TCU is in doubt. Gabriel is No. 5 in NCAA history with 148 touchdowns responsible for, needing two to tie Dan Lefevour of Central Michigan for the fourth spot and five to match Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma and Notre Dame’s Sam Hartman for No. 2 all time. Houston’s Case Keenum holds the record with 178.
>> Jayden Maiava (Kaimuki), UNLV: Threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-27 win over Air Force, adding 36 yards rushing. The win allowed the Rebels to claim sole possession of first place in the Mountain West. Maiava leads the conference in passing yards per attempt with 9.2.
>> Jonah Savai’inaea (Saint Louis), Arizona: Started on the offensive line in a 42-18 win over Utah, helping the offense roll up 443 total yards, 325 of them in the air, while allowing only one sack.
>> Roman Wilson (Saint Louis), Michigan: Caught one pass for 23 yards before being injured in a 31-24 win over Maryland. Wilson was blasted by Terrapins defensive back Dante Trader and drew a targeting call that was waved off. He visited the medical tent and the locker room and watched the second half from the sidelines in street clothes. Acting head coach Sherrone Moore said that trainers ruled Wilson out.
“Which is the responsible thing for us to do as a medical staff,” he added. “They’re always on top of that stuff — especially when it has anything to do with the head.”
>> Junior Wily (Saint Louis), Wagner: Had six tackles, five of them solo, in a 48-21 win over Post. Wily has made 122 tackles over his 21-game career and his 45 solo stops this year are nearly 20 more than the next most on the team.
