Danny Gonzales’ case for the 2025 Broyles Award
In his second season with Arizona and first as DC, Gonzales coached a defense that ranked first in the Big 12 in pass defense (155.9 yards allowed per game), eighth in rush defense (145.7 yards per game) and second in total defense (301.6 yards per game).
Arizona is coming off a 23-7 win against Arizona State in the Territorial Cup on Friday where the defense forced five turnovers and limited the Sun Devils to just seven points on 214 total yards.
The Wildcats more than doubled their win total from 2024, going from 4-8 to 9-3 this season and became bowl eligible for the first time under head coach Brent Brennan.
