The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcats wrap up nonconference play against Northern ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Saturday night at ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, and the UA will have a new starter under center.Â
Second-year quarterback Will Plummer will replace Gunner Cruz as the Wildcats' starting quarterback, which will be the second game Plummer has started since joining the UA in 2020.Â
As ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ looks to snap its 14-game losing skid, the longest active streak in FBS that dates back to when Plummer was a senior at Gilbert High School, head coach Jedd Fisch held his second press conference of the week heading into Saturday's contest.Â

Does a win warrant storming the field?
