Arizona vs. Cincinnati Football Player Stats: 2026
Arizona defeated Cincinnati 34–7 on October 3, 2026, in Tucson. For searches specifically requesting match player stats, the most useful information is not a play-by-play retelling but the confirmed passing, rushing, receiving and team efficiency numbers from the official Arizona box score. These statistics refer to the 2026 Arizona Wildcats–Cincinnati Bearcats football game only.
Quarter score and statistical context
| Team | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Final |
| Cincinnati | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 7 |
| Arizona | 7 | 3 | 14 | 10 | 34 |
Arizona led 10–0 at halftime and expanded that lead with two third-quarter touchdowns. Cincinnati scored its only touchdown in the fourth quarter. Arizona ended the day with 522 total offensive yards, compared with 227 for the Bearcats; the result gives the individual stat lines their context without turning this page into a separate generic game recap.
Passing leaders: Noah Fifita and JC French IV
| Quarterback | Completions / attempts | Yards | TD | INT |
| Noah Fifita, Arizona | 25 / 37 | 284 | 2 | 1 |
| JC French IV, Cincinnati | 16 / 29 | 153 | 0 | 0 |
Fifita generated 131 more passing yards than French, completed nine more passes and produced two passing touchdowns. He also threw an interception, which means his game was productive rather than error-free. French did not throw a touchdown or an interception in the official passing table. Arizona's protection and field position helped turn the passing advantage into scoring chances.
Rushing leaders and what net yards mean
| Player | Team | Carries | Net yards | Rush TD |
| Antwan Roberts Jr. | Arizona | 5 | 87 | 0 |
| Quincy Craig | Arizona | 7 | 77 | 0 |
| Kedrick Reescano | Arizona | 21 | 57 | 1 |
| JC French IV | Cincinnati | 9 | 29 | 1 |
| Gi'Bran Payne | Cincinnati | 11 | 24 | 0 |
Roberts had the most yards on relatively few attempts, while Reescano carried a heavier workload and scored once. Those roles are not interchangeable: efficiency on a handful of runs does not establish how a back would perform on 20 carries. French's quarterback rushing total reflects net yards after losses, an important detail when comparing box-score rushing numbers.
Receiving leaders
| Player | Team | Receptions | Yards | TD |
| Isaiah Mizell | Arizona | 4 | 67 | 0 |
| Tyler Powell | Arizona | 5 | 40 | 1 |
| Tré Spivey | Arizona | 3 | 36 | 0 |
| Brandon Phelps | Arizona | 2 | 36 | 1 |
| Isaiah Johnson | Cincinnati | 6 | 60 | 0 |
| Cole Tabb | Cincinnati | 4 | 40 | 0 |
Mizell led Arizona in receiving yards, but Powell and Phelps accounted for its receiving touchdowns. Cincinnati's Johnson led his team in both catches and yards. A player-stats article should separate these categories rather than imply the yardage leader necessarily scored the most.
Team statistics that explain the spread
Arizona rushed for 238 net yards against Cincinnati's 74 and threw for 284 against 153. The Wildcats went 9-for-14 on third downs; Cincinnati went 7-for-16. Arizona also reached six scoring outcomes in seven red-zone opportunities, compared with one in two for Cincinnati. The first-down margin was 30–12. Together those numbers describe a game Arizona controlled more consistently than the final passing totals alone could show.
