Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports named Danny Gonzales of Arizona the defensive coordinator of the week. Arizona beat Kansas State 23-17 on Friday night and held the Wildcats to 193 total yards. With a healthy defense led by Gonzales, Arizona has been stout in 2025. Kansas State was a huge test for Arizona after playing Hawaii and Weber State in the first two games. Arizona held Kansas State to one series of downs seven times in their 17-13 win.
