PROVO, Utah -- Jake Retzlaff passed for 218 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 14 BYU forced four turnovers in a 41-19 win over Arizona on Saturday.
Darius Lassiter had 86 yards on five catches and Parker Kingston caught a touchdown pass and threw for a score on a trick play for BYU. The Cougars (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) are off to their best start since 2020.
Noah Fifita threw for 275 yards and a touchdown to lead Arizona. But, he tossed three interceptions and lost a fumble. Tetairoa McMillan had 78 yards on five catches for the Wildcats.
Arizona (3-3, 1-2) has lost four straight games in the series with BYU.
Arizona turned the ball over twice in its first three plays of the second half.
BYU's Jakob Robinson batted the ball to himself and came down with an interception, setting up a 9-yard touchdown catch by Chase Roberts. Then Harrison Taggart recovered a fumble when Isaiah Glasker stripped Fifita on a sack. That led to a 33-yard field goal by Will Ferrin and extended BYU's lead to 24-7 less than two minutes into the third.

CINCINNATI 19, UCF 13: Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby threw for 241 yards, including a game-clinching four-yard touchdown to Tony Johnson late in the fourth quarter and Jared Bartlett recorded a game-clinching sack on the final play of the game, delivering the Bearcats a victory over rival UCF in Orlando.
Cincinnati's (4-2, 2-1) defense silenced UCF's usually high-scoring offense throughout the game. The Knights (3-3, 1-2) did not surpass the Bearcats in total yards until the final possession of the game when they drove from their own 19-yard line to the Bearcats' 25. With three seconds left, quarterback Jacurri Brown was unable to escape the rush and Bartlett recorded Cincinnati's fourth sack of the game.
UCF suffered its third straight loss, marking the second straight season the team has had a losing streak of three games or more.

ARIZONA STATE 27, NO. 16 UTAH 19: Cam Skattebo ran for 158 yards and two touchdowns as Arizona State spoiled Utah quarterback Cameron Rising's return with a home upset.
The Sun Devils (5-1, 2-1) lost quarterback Sam Leavitt for most of the second quarter, yet found a way to pull out the biggest win of second-year coach Kenny Dillingham's career.
Rising threw three interceptions after missing three games with a finger injury and the Utes (4-2, 1-2) spent most of the night failing to capitalize on opportunities in the Sun Devils' end.
