Oklahoma Sooners Football vs. Arizona Wildcats: Alamo Bowl Q&A with Arizona Desert Swarm

After finishing the regular season at 10-2, the Oklahoma Sooners are set to face the Arizona Wildcats (9-3) in the Alamo Bowl. Here to discuss the opponent is Brian Pedersen of Arizona Desert Swarm.

1. Noah Fifita took over at QB midway through the season, and he’s certainly been turning some heads. What’s been the biggest key to his success?

He was the first quarterback Jedd Fisch and his staff recruited after taking over the program in December 2020 and so his skill set fits perfectly into the offense. Jayden de Laura did great as a bridge in 2022 and the beginning of 2023, but the hope had always been that once Fifita got his shot he would thrive.
