Arizona improves to 1-1 in the Pac-12 Conference and 3-2 on the season with a 43-20 win over the Buffaloes.

Quarterback Jayden de Laura took to the air repeatedly, completing 33 of 49 passes for 484 yards. On the receiving end of the six TD passes were Jacob Cowing (12 catches for 180 yards, 1 TD), Dorian Singer (9 for 163 yards, 1 TD), Tetairoa McMillan (5 for 90, 1 TD), Michael Wiley (5 for 34 and two scores) and Tanner McLachlan (2 for 17 and a score).

And by the way, just to shake things up a bit Cowing tosses an 11-yard completion to de Laura in the first quarter.

The Buffaloes were on their heels from the first quarter on as Arizona led 26-13 at halftime and put another 17 points on the scoreboard in the second half while limiting Colorado to just one score the rest of the way.

The Wildcats finished the night with 673 yards -- the most ever against a conference opponent. Arizona ended up with 178 yards rushing on the night with Wiley leading the way with 77 yards on 16 carries.

Next up: Oregon at Arizona Stadium on Saturday night.

Go, Wildcats!
