Arizona rolls in opener

In the Stands Report By Bookemdanosports: Arizona rolls to a 35-0 win over NAU in its season opener -- WITHOUT Ka'Deem Carey.

The 53,000 fans witnessed a little bit of everything from the Wildcats at the Arizona Stadium tonight. B.J Denker got the job done from the quarterback position, Daniel Jenkins ran for 139 yards -- including a 91-yard touchdown run, linebacker Scooby Wright was all over the place -- making tackles, and Tra'Mayne Bondurant intercepted two passes in the third quarter -- one which resulted in a 23-yard interception return for a touchdown.

As for Denker, he rambles for 71 yards, passes for 87 yards and tosses an 11-yard TD pass to Jenkins in the first quarter and rambles in from 30 yards out for a TD in the third quarter.

All in all, not a bad start for the Carey-less Wildcats.

With his one-game suspension in the books, chances are coach Rich Rodriguez will pencil in Carey for some snaps at UNLV next Saturday.

But tonight, it was the Denker-Jenkins show on offense, while the defense, led by the hard-nosed play of Wright and Bondurant will get plenty of print in the local morning paper.

And let's not forget the surprise in the fourth quarter as freshman quarterback Javelle Allen enters the game and scampers 61 yards for the Wildcats' final score.

For those of you wondering who Allen is, his jersey number is #9 and he was that flash of lightning that scored with 4:40 left in the game.

And now it is on to Las Vegas. Shuffle up and deal.
