From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nick Foles is the Wildcats' career passing yards leader.
The Arizona Wildcats football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the
Arizona Wildcats football program in various categories,
[1] including
passing ,
rushing ,
receiving ,
total offense , defensive stats, and
kicking . Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Wildcats represent the
University of Arizona in the
NCAA 's
Pac-12 Conference .
Although Arizona began competing in intercollegiate football in 1899,
[1] the school's official record book does not generally include stats from before the 1950s, as records from this era and earlier are often incomplete and inconsistent.
These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:
Since the 1950s, seasons have increased from 10 games to 11 and then 12 games in length.
The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football until
1972 (with the exception of the
World War II years), allowing players to have four-year careers.
Bowl games only began counting toward single-season and career statistics in 2002.
[2] The Wildcats have played in
eight bowl games since this decision, giving recent players a potential extra game to accumulate statistics.
The Wildcats have surpassed 5,000 yards nine times in school history, all since
1998 and seven times since
2008 .
[1] They have eclipsed 6,000 yards twice under former head coach
Rich Rodriguez .
These lists are updated through the end of the
2020 season .
