1) Matt Scott has been nothing short of spectacular in the first two weeks, and his fit in head coach Rich Rodriguez’s system has been a key factor in the Wildcats 2-0 start.

2) (Tie) Ka’Deem Carey was expected to be the biggest benefactor of the new spread-option offensive system due to its run-first tendencies. It hasn’t necessarily been “run-first”, but Carey has broke out nonetheless. He is just 152 yards and two touchdowns off his rushing totals from 2011.

2) (Tie) Jake Fischer may have missed all of 2011 with an ACL injury, but there doesn’t appear to be any lingering effects from the injury. Fischer is flying all over the field and leads the Wildcats in tackles.

4) Here’s how Jared Tevis’ career has gone to this point – walk-on redshirt, special teams contributor, scholarship player, starting safety, key contributor on a ranked Arizona team. It’s safe to say no one outside of the locker room expected this kind of contribution.

5) Austin Hill somehow flies under the radar, but he might be the Wildcats best receiving weapon on offense. His acrobatic catches the last two weeks have carried Arizona’s passing game.

6) Kyle Quinn is the leader of the line, and in the middle of it, so he probably deserves the most credit. Also, most of Carey’s four touchdown runs have come because of holes opened up in the middle of the defense.

7) Marquis Flowers transitioned from safety to linebacker looks seamless thus far. He looked like he was struggling early on in week one in his new digs, but he has since adjusted and is third on the team in tackles and first in sacks.

8) Jonathan McKnight’s name wasn’t mentioned much in week one, but in week two he made his presence known. His 48-yard interception return for touchdown might have won the game for the UA against Oklahoma State.

10) Tra’Mayne Bondurant is making his presence known on defense again. At the ‘spur’ position, he is asked to essentially play both linebacker and safety, and that has helped him disrupt the backfield.
